garden party

Here's more spring goodness. And it's so very pretty; bright patterned florals, gorgeous silhouettes and detailed roses & ruffles. This is the eco-friendly "garden collection" by h&m. They have utilized all organic and recycled materials for this new spring line and I'm loving these lush green looks. I'll be seeking out my faves above.

spring green

Is it too early to be wishing for spring? When I look at these intricately hand-cut nature collages by Stephen Eichhorn, I am immediately warmed up. They are fantastic; full of foliage, movement and the most serene combination of colors.

it's the most curious thing...

these pieces seem straight out of Alice in Wonderland and they are oh so marvelous. On top, the giant teacup is a planter (cat not included). It makes such a whimsical statement in a room. I spied it on NYE at friends Eddie & George's place, which is always impeccably decorated. The rabbit lamps are also the perfect touch- I would love a little cluster of them hanging about. Fanciful objects and more unique modern designs to discover at Propeller, 555 Hayes Street, SF.

Enjoy these days... And a little design from my "make design" holiday promo mailer above.

buy handmade

So far, most of my holiday shopping has consisted of handmade items, mostly bought at local boutiques (or etsy). I can really appreciate the work and hope the recipient treasures the gift in the same way. Plus, always best to support fellow artists & crafters. Some sweet stuff: Playful fabric creations by Tamar Mogendorff, original illustration prints by Ashley G, fantastic jewelry selection at chain chain chained.

decorate my home...

...{please} I am sadly so behind in doing any holiday decorating this year. Where does the time go? I wish I could wake up in the morning and have the beautiful & festive stylings of Tine K home throughout my house. View their Winter collection & inspiration here.
