bablefish is a great source of inspiration. there are always good posts about design, art, etc. on her blog. one day she lamented that she couldn't get anthropologie catalogues in the UK. thinking that was a minor tragedy i offered to send her a few. and a deal was struck. US to UK magazine/catalogue swapping. woo hoo. i was really excited b/c i had heard so much buzz buzz about habitat and now i get to see why w/ my own eyes. that catalogue is seriously swoon worthy. along w/ the mags she sent the most adorable wallet [which i am going to use for travelling!!] and mini colored pencils. [we all know how anything mini makes me dance around]. what's more - those came in a muji bag. when is their store opening in NY? [not fast enough]
the adorable bookmark, amazingly soft neck warmer [in the perfect color w/ ORANGE buttons!!] and delectable skein of hand spun yard came from natasha . just because. if you touch her yarn you will want to make things with it. it's so amazing. i can't get over the colors either.... you can get your own here .
when i saw abigail's stag on whip up i gasped. and then i gasped again when she sent it to me....
oh i'm a lucky lucky girl.
i've been thinking a lot about martha's post on obsession and maria's post on alter egos . good food for fodder. i am wondering if we should all reveal our alter egos and obsessions....
happy thurs!
you're
worth
a million
in prizes.
. . . . .
i drool
over
your necklace.
it's
amazing.
i would also love your postman if he delivered me this lovely loot!!
Abigails stag looks perfect on you...you should be the stag model!!
lots of lovely treats for lovely you. i have been very inspired by martha and mav's blog topics too. i keep thinking about my alter ego...i think i must have 2. i'm a gemini twin after all! xoxo
i heart your postman too. i wish he'd cheat on you with me :).
your posts are in tandem with my teaching; i'm doing an alter-ego projects with my 6th graders - we're in the middle of it -- based on trenton doyle hancock...you watch that art 21 series? good good stuff. (hm...it's my 6th grade again; they did the chair projects as well...!)
your postman is fantastic :) and your sweet goodies you received, even better!
Sweet goodies for a sweet you.
Love the photo of you...the stag looks perfect.
Alter egos...ooh...I have many. =)
Brilliant photo of you, great treat, fun post. But now my habitat catalogue surprise is spolied! oh well, I'll send you the summer one instead. I love insideout too, but it's too pricey for me to buy 2 copies so i'm glad she's got you covered there.
alter ego's eh, hmm, between that and your progression post (very absorbing) my little brain will be ticking away. ah well, if i can't sleep it's an excuse to read blogs into the wee small hours!
i have the same set of little pencils sent to me by a friend in england. and you know what? i've had them for about a year and i've yet to use them. one more example of supplies to pretty to use!
that photo of you is beyond perfect!
I can't tell you how much I love...love what it captures...your style and your art...YOU.
oxox
truly many goodies you got there in the mail!! you must be so thrilled!! i heart swaps and mails too!! ^_^
The postie must need an extra large sack when delivering such a bountiful haul to your post box... enjoy them all.
take care, g xo
Abigail's jewellery is so perfect on you and, you are one super-stylish lady :) Love the layering and please please tell me where you got that jacket from? I think I'll have to ponder over the alter egos issue this weekend, thanks.
