Lockets

Like some sort of lady Mr. Rogers, I wish I had one to match each outfit everyday.

Nook Project

The desk I bought through K-BID started turning into a junk shelf as you can see below. I wanted a reading nook there instead. So, I made one. It took a while but, now I love it.  I can still use my desk for storage and have my little reading nook and extra seating for guests.  Dr. Patrick Science also loves it which is a plus.

Marni Resort 2013

I am loving the colors and shapes in the Marni Resort 2013 collection. And of course the old school prep always steals my heart. 

 

Calligraphy Class

Here's my calligraphy class "final". We were assigned to write whatever we wanted using what we've been taught. I chose one of my favorite quotes by an unknown author.

Dutch Wax Prints

Alright, check this out. This is Belleville to Bamako. Smells like Stella Jean to me.

 

Here's an interesting article to know a little bit more about Dutch Wax Prints/ Batik.

Stella Jean

My mind was blown when I saw Stella Jean's 2012 Spring collection on Honestly WTF. I have some reading to do on Dutch wax prints now.

Sorting Through the Old Stuff

About a year ago a friend of mine handed me a bundle of ephemera he'd come across randomly. I of course love old paper crap so, it was an amazing gift. I put it aside on my shelf and hadn't really filed through it til the other day when I was packing in preparation for my move. I found some great images of historical Minneapolis.One thing I noticed immediately was the angle the skyline of Minneapolis was drawn from. I have not seen very many photos or illustrations of the skyline drawn from this angle.

These images are from the 1967 Fairview Hospitals Annual Report

This letter from what is now the Star Tribune was also in the bundle.

Swedish Hasbeens

I relate a lot to the name of this company. I also adore their products.
