nature-inspired
Simple forms, original illustrations and bold surface designs combine to make Little Flower Designs' ceramic pieces stand out from the crowd. Designer and maker Linda Johnson creates her nature-inspired pieces in her Abington, PA studio, with her beagle Marley by her side. I've been fortunate e...
Hey Jan...I've been trying to get back in the groove so have been catching up your blog today.

smokin' shoulder bags
it all comes together in these roomy, made-to-order shoulder bags. if you sew, you will notice (and be impressed by) the decorative topstitching straight away. if you don't sew, please know that this is a big deal - one mis-stitch and the whole thing is scrap. (try it if you don't believe me!)...

kimono-fabric cosmetic bags
so delicate, so pretty. these cosmetic bags are handmade from authentic, vintage kimono fabrics. the 'kisslock' snap closure in an antique gold finish compliments the style perfectly. fully lined, each one measures 4"h x 6.5"w x 4"w (opening). this designer is an experienced pattern maker and ...
Very unique and beautifully made. I like the blue ones a lot!

a little bit vintage, a little bit rock-n-roll
april 4th is a good day - for us and especially for Jena Coray from modish. two aprils ago, she started her blog; one april ago, she started her shoppe; this year, she launched her new jewelry collection, miralu. not too busy, is she? yowsa! she's not new to this racket, however, as she was or...
I love this story, Kate...how sweet and lovely.
I've been seeing lots of daffodils, iris and crocus around here. Tomorrow though...snow again!
Hi Linda, Your spring is more advanced than here - although today we had rain and not snow. Thankfully. At least we know that, at this time of year, the snow doesn't last for long.

First buds emerging
Can you make out the three buds in this photograph? They certainly weren't in evidence this morning when I brushed leaf debris from the Liverlilies (Hepatica nobilis). But by mid-afternoon, with warmer temperatures and much sunshine, they made their appearance. I was excited, to put it mil...
You are such a sweetie! Thanks so much, Jan...my painting couldn't have gone to a better home.:)

tell her what she's won, Chuck
remember the pay it forward giveaway from a few weeks ago? if not, one of my favorite painters held one on her blog, where i won the top painting "fiesta cup" - i was (and am) so happy with it! it arrived today, packaged so gently and sweetly, matted and ready to frame! i have another grouping...
Sounds like a great book to get my friend for her b-day this year. She's a master gardener and loves nothing more than to be in her garden. I think she's like you in many ways...a real lovely person.
Give that Lytton boy a kissie for me. Tell him that Maisie wishes he could come with her to the dog park now. It's her "new thing" and she is lovin' it! xox
Hi Linda, Your friend would enjoy this book I think. It is well written and entertaining. Thank you! Lytton wishes that Maisie could chase around the dog park with him. They'd get themselves into lots of trouble, I'm sure!

Second Nature - A Book Review
This seems to be my year for reading books by Michael Pollan. I had just finished reading his latest book, In Defense of Food, when I delved back into Second Nature, published in 1991. This was the selection for the February/March edition of the Garden Bloggers' Book Club, a bimonthly readi...
She does beautiful work. I love the "no solicitors" tiles too...the "I'm busy doing my anger management homework" one really cracked me up!

cannot recall how i stumbled upon this artist, but as i read through her "no solicitors" glass tiles (upper left) - they all cracked me up and i knew i had to share. she makes all sorts of fused glass items, from recycled glass tiles to magnets to necklaces. colors are bold and balanced, prett...
These are WAY cool. Really nice series.

fresh tees
let's not mince words: i'm a t-shirt girl. i've been slowly converting my plain t-shirt stash to designs like these, which feature works of art in graphic design. here, subtle prints that run underneath the main design give dimension, and special inks (like gold) popped in here and there give ...
Oh 70's mama! Love these!
Have a wonderful Christmas, Jan. xoxo!

out-of-the-box denim
denim jeans funked up with some fabric collage art. the jeans are yours (so the fit will be perfecto), but the designs are pre-determined by the designer. she mixes and matches her collections, and all are really spectacular! love the bold, punchy statement and the utter originality of the con...

a little bit of creative thinking and a lot of engineering genius go a long way in this collection of goblets and tumblers. after starting their humble beginnings as mere wine vessels, they have been transformed into elegant and unique, um, wine vessels. seriously, they are off the charts on f...
These are beautiful! I especially like that sassy hot pink one.

what an incredible range of work, from the chosen clay media to the finishing glazes. but the same sense of style and balance is pervasive from one collection to the next. i would be thrilled to own anything from this still-emerging-yet-accomplished pottery artist. she's self-deprecating to bo...
