Inalux

If you read Kristina Sostarko's profile on etsy, I'm sure you'd fall in love with her personality and work just like I did! She is a talent who mixes fine art/modern illustration/textile and texture into this undefined modern eclectic style. I have to say it's addicting to look at! see what i mean at her shop and blog.

Yahgie

Yahgie (Yah-Gee) which means elegant gathering...in an urban lifestyle kind of way! check out their new online shop. I love the bright bursts of color up against the white backgrounds, and those fabrics are to die for aren't they?

fox and clover

Hi folks,
Sorry for the delayed posting. I'll be taking the rest of the week off to focus on a new project I have under my wings that I hope to launch online sometime next month. Sometimes I get into this faze where I think I can do everything all at once, be a mother, designer, blogger, crafter and carry a fulltime job on top of it all and sometimes it all gets away from me and I have to put one thing on hold to focus on another... I'm sure we all feel like this at times, I mean we are only human right!! so I'll be back next monday, refreshed and ready to be inspired with you again. for now enjoy this beautiful hand painted fused glass jewelry from fox and clover.

snug.

Beautiful Norwegian design from Germany. Designers Kerstin and Berit had similar design aesthetics so they did something about it, SNUG. They have an online shop and blog, although you may have to turn on your google translator (in german) for some things.....or leave it off and just look at the gorgeous pictures!

Spring Flings

The birds are chirping and the sun is awaking....this morning I put on my spring coat and didn't have to bother putting a snowsuit and hat on Zoe. I felt like it was "safe" to start getting inspired by spring, even though I'm sure we'll still see snow again. It's time to crawl out of hibernation and celebrate vibrancy so I thought i'd put together a few colorful faves for you to get inspired with....
