winter shop clear out

hi there. i just wanted to let everyone know i have a few discounted winter items in my shop including some remaining tags, prints, and postcard sets. take a look and order quick! my shop will be closed from december 19th-26th. i will mail them out as soon as i get the order and we can hope for the best. i will also be having a year end sale in the shop to make way for new items in the new year from dec. 27th-dec 31st.
thanks for all your support this year!

hanging in there

hi friends. i'm so sorry i have been mostly absent this week. this holiday season has been such a busy time for me. and extra things keep popping in at the last moment.

on top of it all, i am feeling a bit under the weather. i wish i could just lay in bed with the covers over my head, but that is not possible right now. however, in a few short days i am taking a trip home to be with family and to sit by the fire.

until then, please join me {and my stuffy nose} at the holiday craft sale this sunday the 16th.
i will perhaps be adding some discounted items to my shop on monday if i have a lot left over.

happy saturday to you! enjoy hot toddies and warm fires.

lets travel to...

it is time for another installment of lets travel to...

this time we are going to los angeles, california here in the u.s.

click the photo above to read some of wendy's favorite places. i love her photos of the beach!

a little inspiration

good evening. i can't believe it is so dark already. makes me just want to sit inside and drink hot chocolate.

i wanted to share some scandinavian inspiration with you today. all these images are from the norwegian food magazine, nord. the bottom 2 images are actually from ads, but i know how we all love that milk packaging and i love the mugs hanging on a branch.

::be sure to check out the great list of book gift ideas over at mav's today {thanks for including me:)}. i really want to check this one out.

this is another book on my list.

be well and have a good evening.

the light of my life

take a little time today to remember the things and people who put a little light in your life.

p.s. does anyone have any good mom gift ideas?

a few things

this is how i feel these days. pulled in so many different directions, most of which are good. i am still loving the little bits of snow we are getting.


thanks so much to everyone who has supported my winter wonders shop, with words, thoughts, and purchases. i really appreciate it. it is so fun to see all the thoughts in my head come together.

i also wanted to thank kayte for featuring me in her great coverage of scandiavian design on the storque. and thanks to grace for featuring my work for plait on her site.


now, for a few things:

beautiful photos from lina scheynius.
beautiful necklace at papa stour.
beautiful ceramics via food & wine magazine.

open for business

yay! it snowed a little again today.

my holiday shop is now offically open for business!

the first snow

i love how looking at snow makes you feel quiet.

some more quiet things i am inspired by lately:

a book of portraits {of barns}.

photographs at dacafe.

landscapes by noah wilson.

happy december.

oops

well, it looks like my shop update will not happen today as planned. i am now shooting for wed. december 5th.

hopefully it will happen before everyone has finished all their shopping.

happy weekend all!
