i wish o wish you did a pattern line!  your designs are lovely, your daughters are, too, and i really really really really really want to win one of your generous give-aways!

grosgrain is a blog run by the lovely kathleen dougherty who claims her sewing is sub-par (sniff, it doesn’t look like it could be!) […]

i love these beautiful clothes!  the sweater with the buttons on the diagonal is calling my name. . . .

i love finding new places like beklina.  did everyone else know of them?  found via the indie quarter.

 
the mere idea of a new toy a day makes me feel a wee bit sick, considering the toys and books and costumes and accessories that my kids have accumulated sometimes seem to take over the house entire.  but the toy-a-day project is terrific fun and i can’t wait to get a new color […]

yes, annie and husband and friends completely surprised me tuesday, decoy gift and all (which i’ve yet to photograph but am excited about sharing with you all).  it’s nice to have birthdays, and even nicer to have friends who help your birthday be nice . . .

beefy’s party hat!  i wish we’d gotten better pictures, […]

goodness gracious, i love jemima lumley!  i want this cuff, and several other things in her etsy shop.  her blog is pretty nifty, too.  check her out!  and what a cute name she has, jemima. . . .

a couple of new things in the shop this week!  a wonderful summer garland with girls from the 1950s enjoying summer days gone by and the butterfly quicksilver mobile, one of our most beloved beauties, is now made entirely from vintage french papers and a recycled record jacket.  in addition to the black and white […]

i love this mobile annie made, too, almost as much as i love the cherry mobile that sold last week.  i love the girls, this girl’s curl!, the horses galore, and every black and white delight about it.
in the shop, one of a kind, snatch it up if you can!

annie made a few new mobiles and this one in particular wants to stay in my living room.  it’s in the shop now, so snatch it up before i find something to trade annie for it!

i love these stained glass garlands.  if i were getting married again i would definitely insist that these hang everywhere. so wonderful!  could it be that i have a problem when it comes to garlands?
visit pamela’s shop here and covet her french life here.

my affection for these is not waning… how terrific!  like an animal children’s book to cuddle and talk to.  i love everything from bookhou!
