I just finished these bridal shower invites for a friend – fun to put them all together, as she wanted a variety of colors and patterns.
I’ll be offering similar custom invites in my shop, if you’re interested.
How is everyone’s weekends going?
Holy crap.
I don’t even like wallpaper. This might have changed my mind.
Wallpaper from the 70′s is exactly what it sounds like. They have so many choices, so many beautiful designs and things that are so weird, you could waste a lot of time (and money) at this website. And the best part is, you can order samples for about a buck. Sweet.
This post is not about the food variety, though I really enjoy those. This is about the fabulous Norwegian site where you can find lots of cute knitting and crochet patterns, as well as some other DIY’s.
I love the bolero pattern they have – it looks very simple and easy. And who hasn’t wanted to try knit furniture? I’m not sure how practical this stool would be but it sure looks adorable. Probably a great place to crash on the floor. Check out their site for more cute patterns.
1. I’m not typically an advocate of spending a lot of money on a wedding dress, because you only wear it for one day, and then you put it away, blah blah blah. I think I would make an exception for this dress. I would frame it, or buy it a mannequin and display it all over my house. It isn’t painted, it’s quilted, and with lovely organic fabrics on top of that. You can find this masterpiece courtesy of Threadhead.
2. My favorite thing about Etsy is finding out about other shops when they heart you. This particular seller, Studio Megu, was discovered just this way. I love smokey quartz no matter what the context, but these earrings make the stone look especially fabulous.
3. Really good patterns take my breath away. Add that to an alarmingly massive stash of fabric, and I’ve got a problem. I think that’s only going to get worse now that I’ve discovered Cicada Studio. These bold designs and great colors really get my juices flowing – and even better, they’re printed in the good ol’ US of A.
4. If you read this blog a lot, you know I’m also enamored with ceramics. I really respect the process, as I don’t have the patience for dealing with it. If something blew up in the kiln for no particular reason, I’m pretty sure I’d break down and have a hissy fit. I love the mixture of two great art forms here – ceramic and lacework. Pop on over to Prince Design UK to see more of this creativity.
5. Found Paper Co has just launched their new Etsy shop and I have to say I’m in love. I hunger for all things paper. Everything in this shop is in really good shape, there are some really good finds. The mind just wanders thinking about all of the delicious possibilities.
