i loved seeing a peek at cal’s life upstate on the newly launched website creativebug. i’m looking forward to watching more videos profiling the other instructors.

i’m a little obsessed with handmade baskets and i’m always looking out for them at thrift stores (these are from ebay).

i wish i was taking the basket making class at the textile arts center this weekend.

my love of patterns comes from both my mom and her good friend karen, who was like a second mom to me. she is an art teacher and vintage/antiques seller, and is endlessly inspiring in her bold style and incredible taste. i’ve posted photos of her home in california here, and at my wedding here, and now if you’d like to see some of her everyday outfits, you can watch these videos here. she reminds me to have fun with clothes!
