Stumbled upon these fun illustrations by Charlie Harper for a travel feature in a vintage issue of Better Homes and Gardens. Like these a lot. {Sorry, the scans could be better.}

  

I dream

of bookshelves.{ and seriously covet that globe}

 

 

 

 

simple ideas

I like these ideas for wrangling kid's curios. From my clippings pile - a past issue of Real Simple.

way back when

Looking through some of my clippings, fun to stumble across features on well known designers early in their career. Above is Todd Oldham's pad. Below is Kelly Wearstler -  modest { + inspiring} compared to her current work.

Rose colored glasses

So happy and thrilled to be able to share {at last!} the newest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings with you.

The issue has a feature on handmade elements to incorporate into a wedding and I am honored to have a new product featured. I will be adding vintage stamp garlands to my site and shops.
Also, so nice to have great company - Frazier and Wing! { have admired her work, but for some reason didn't realize she is in Portland as well.}

As an aside, I wanted to share this gorgeous flower display that is also in the issue  -  I love the way it echos the handcraft feature. They put so much care into how each feature visually correlates with one another. Love this issue.

{to MSW - a big thank you!}

living with art

I like these, from my files.

The lettered set

I spy a paper Eiffel Tower box in this incredible stationery collection. Interesting  NY Times article.

junk style

I like these repurpose project ideas for the summer garden by JunkMarket from an old issue of C.Home. Can't get to any of these ideas now though, my primary goal for the backyard is vegetation.

Vive la France

Much to appreciate from here

 

 

 

work it.

The January issue of Martha Stewart has a great feature on the workspaces and inspiration boards of some of the editors. I love getting a glimpse of how creative people shape the space they work in. It can say a lot about a person, don't you think?

This lovely jumble of things is the office of  Fritz Karch, the editorial director for collecting.

This layered wall seems to hold both inspiration and history in the office of  Darcy Miller, the editorial director of MS Weddings.

Hanna Millman, the executive editorial director of crafts, has a beautifully curated collection of inspiring objects.

There are some other great work spaces featured in the current issue as well as a slide show of more pictures here.

What does your space look like? Do you have an inspiration board?  I would love to hear about it,  better yet, send me a pic of your bulletin board to share.
