Theraputic

I haven't played with photoshop in so very, very long. I need to make a habit of it again. Being inspired has been few and far between lately. I hope this is a good sign of things to come.

I am blessed enough to have great roommates and even more blessed to have ones that love house plants and flowers as much as I do. The house amaryllis bloomed this month and just in time for Valentine's day. It is spectacular! I was also lucky enough to be given the sweetest and most appropriate bouquet of white daises with the tinest purple flowers this week. My house and bedside are filled with love and flowers, how sweet indeed!

new vintage goods hitting the shop this weekend...

While my updates have been much, much less since moving to DC, I am still finding some greate vintag things. The past weekend uncovered a fantastic woodland colored granny square blanket, a adorably sweet vintage cherry and black tulle hat, real rabbit fur ear muffs, and super bright 1960s floral printed curtains. All cheery and fun!

All of these goods will be hitting the shop this weekend or early next week.



Some winter happenings...

This winter has been flying by, which is great because it truly isn't my favorite time of year. I have spent the time becomming inspired by baking and cooking as well as rediscovering print making again. I have been paging through Print Workshop by Christine Schmidt almost daily just to become inspired by her simplistic lines in print making. I forgot how satisfying making something can be...

The bread recipe is the ultimately famous No Knead Bread from the New York Times article [here]. It came out okay this time, but next time will be much better as I will use white flour instead of white whole wheat. [it was just too dense] I made delicious BLT and acavado sandwhichs with this loaf and they were fantastic.

vintage fabrics in bright!

Nothing like a few vintage fabrics to brighten a winter day. Each of these table cloths will be available in the shop this weekend!

Vintage Oil Paintings of Flowers

I forraged these fantastic floral oil paintings a few weeks ago and they are finally hitting the shop. After a lovely Christmas, it is nice to lay my eyes on something so springy. The set is painted on cardboard and comes unframed. Each painting is signed. They are bright, beautiful, and perfect for a small space on a collage wall. Find them [here]

Industrial Wire Baskets

These fantastic vintage wire baskets are hitting the shop this evening. They come in a set of three and are just great for office storage of files, paperwork, or mail.
