from our farmer friends… homegrown and homemade quince jam and homegrown, dried, and packaged tea. the best presents!!
here is our 2011 mociun + corwin calendar!
we’ve had some mishaps with the printing this year, so we’re offering them for pre-orders now, and they will ship on december 17th. caitlin and i were inspired by a thai tapestry, and as with our past calendars, we cut out the birds from paper and pieced together a collage. the print is 18 x 24″, 4 color, hand screen print. limited edition of 50 pieces.

yesterday we lit the candles for the last night of hannukah. i love watching them glow and melt down.
and we brought in the potted pine tree from our backyard, that we dug up on josh’s parents’ property in new hampshire three years ago. it’s still very petite, but it’s gotten a lot bigger!
maria printed on silk for her show come darkness at chelliswilson, and the results are stunning! so beautiful and inspiring.
the silk scarves are for sale here. from maria:
Feel the light all around you this Winter and beyond. Wear the light! I have produced these scarves in a very small run just for chelliswilson. The original photographs were taken on film in Cushing, Maine in October just as the darkness would set in every afternoon. Photos were then printed directly on silk and sewn here in Maine. There are only ten of each scarf; they are especially made to order and numbered.
reminder! holiday sale today and tomorrow! so many beautiful things… and the new baggu space is a perfect spot for a sale. i wish i had remembered to bring my camera because these cell phone snaps don’t do justice to the beautiful goods for sale. i came home with a juliet gorman mug, manoogian sweater, and a handful of baggu bags.
dinner + crafts with friends last night… i made a clementine & clove pomander, jennifer made the most delicious vegetable tagine.
i love my fox claw necklace from odette ny– i wear it every day. have you seen the whole fells collection?
utility canvas used to have a store in soho (now in the hudson valley near new paltz), and my mom liked going when she visited ny. i have a new appreciation for the company that i didn’t quite “get” before… i’ve always liked their simple bed linens, and i like that they have a strong signature look. and canvas has always been one of my favorite fabrics.
i won’t be having my usual studio sale with caitlin mociun this december, since i’m expecting the baby’s arrival in a couple weeks (give or take!). i’m sad to not be hosting this time, but i’m glad the sale is still happening– hosted by baggu, in their new williamsburg studio.
caitlin and i will have a new (3rd annual) calendar poster there.
i’m looking forward to going as a shopper!
