a few weeks ago k.c.k. posted about these simple, beautiful wooden blocks, & i fell in love with them. a carpenter friend of ours so sweetly agreed to make some for me. i had so much fun painting them, and then playing with them! i gave one set to a friend’s one year old son, and still have more to give for gifts…

thanks mav, for reminding me to visit fog linen work again. their mixing of subtle, patterned fabric is gorgeous.
yippee!!
a few photos from this weekend…
we walked around my favorite part of williamsburg, brooklyn– the south end near moon river chattel, sodafine, and sprout home. that area is a strange mix of quaint and beautiful, but also dirty and industrial/urban. i guess that’s how much of brooklyn (and new york) is.
a favorite fall 07 pattern…
secret garden print, by chloe
from scout/la…
i love that top photo (you can click on the photo to enlarge… it’s even nicer that way)
on my amazon wish list: new book by rob ryan
ps: rob’s etsy shop
UPDATE: the book is a story completely told in papercut pictures (i asked rob, here on his blog)
new items by michael mcdowell… i love the small ceramic planters that i ordered (here is one in the photo above). thanks michael!
wow, the newly updated mina perhonen website had my heart pounding… i especially loved seeing some studio photos. nothing could be more inspiring for me…
(thanks joy!)
back from new hampshire… it was nice to be in the country and surrounded by nature. it’s still so warm (hot!) in new york city, but it’s fall up there. the leaves were so beautiful, really striking visually. got some vintage goodies, as usual… i find the best stuff up there. vintage dresses for $3! and some mugs for the collection.
we stopped on the way back and bought a couple plants. i loved these plants in stockholm (and in the wild in the swedish countryside), so i’m glad they are here too. does anyone know what they are called? something with a “c” i think. i saw the name on one of the plants at the nursery, but the one i brought home is missing the tag.
