i was excited to check out shabd’s new spring collection… shabd and mociun have collaborated on a tie dye bikini— which is available for a pre-order special price, until jan. 25th. also, lots of things on sale in the mociun online shop! (the white linen tie front in the bottom left photo is one of my favorite things i own).
one last post about holiday presents!
in competition (with this) for being my favorite gift, are my new health bowls from my mom. we went to the heath outlet in sausalito when i was home and i picked out a set of five “imperfect” large cereal bowls. i love the colors and the textures so much. i’ve been using them for yogurt, cereal, soup, snacks… they seem to be the perfect size for almost everything.

JANUARY ALTERATIONS WITH CAL PATCH
inspired by the article she wrote for BUST (in the aug/sept ’06 issue), cal will show you how to make clothing fit better and look current. taking in side seams, adjusting hemlines, lowering waistlines, and piecing in other fabrics are all techniques that can help you become your own personal couturier. bring in some garments to play with and we’ll give them a new life! some basic sewing experience required.
one 5-hour workshop
11am – 4pm
saturday, jan 23rd
$125 + supplies

this set of vintage cloth napkins might be my favorite christmas gift. they’re almost too good to use… but i think i will use them (only on special occasions!).
i’m having some winter blues lately. i like the winter season, but i miss being outside without bundling up in layer after layer of clothing. yesterday it was so sunny in my studio, it was easy to imagine that it was warm outside.
a friend sent these beautiful photos of her new year’s vacation in scotland.

i adore this hanging planter by ceramicist marianne hallberg.

i taped up some my best vintage tea towels in my studio today. most are by textile designer vera neumann.
our san francisco trip was great. i wish we could have stayed a little longer!
