a few things to inspire.

just a few of the things inspiring me today:

doesn't this look like a great restaurant. they use all food from local farms.

these lovely drawings.

this recipe looks delicious.

lots of beautiful photos here.

thanks for all the comments on my pie yesterday. i am loving experimenting with new baking recipes lately. i am also loving going to the gym..

baking and resting.

i did a little baking on sunday. i made this rustic apple tart with fresh rosemary{recipe here}. i felt inspired after seeing shari's pies. it was my first time making my own crust. it was super easy, except that i sliced my thumb cleaning the food processor.

spent the rest of sunday watching the office: season 2. i have just discovered this show and now i can't get enough. it is so hilarious!

good evening, all.

the beauty of food.

1. dreaming..., 2. simply soup, 3. Untitled, 4. csp: scratch baking

loving all this goodness above. yum. happy weekend!

fashion fun.

i feel like i usually end up wearing the same outfits over and over, but hey, a girl can dream...
here are some of my favorites from the fall collections from fashion week:

above images from the karen walker fall 2008 collection.

above images from boy by band of outsiders fall 2008 collection.

and i was so happy to see saipua featured on design*sponge today. it is such a beautiful shop.

did you see these bright fun cards over at mav's today?

one more thing...i am very excited to announce: i am selling some of my large format prints over at the beholder. i am really honored to be included among some really wonderful artists.

sorry for this late post, have a nice evening.

a little love.

loving these photos from selvedge. top photo from rinne allen, bottom from kristin perers.

just a few things making me smile today:

+ photos from todd hido.

+ these plates.

+ these cards.

+ this super sweet collection {via about some things}.

good evening, friends.

thanks + some.

thanks so much for all the support of my new projects. i'm so excited about them and can't wait to see them progress.

+ i have added a few new notebooks to the shop, take a look.

+ take a look at these beautiful photos from wendy bevan {via scout-holiday}. i love their dreamy quality.

+ loving this so much.

more tomorrow...

p.s. nicole has opened up her shop!

a few announcements.

happy sunday! i have a few exciting things to announce today.

+ first of all i am starting a collaboration with heather smith jones. it is called inspired.

here's how it works: at the beginning of each month we email each other a new piece of our work. at the end of the month we will mail the other person a new piece inspired by the other's work. so, at the end of each month, each of us will have 2 pieces of artwork, one inspired by the other. writing it down like this makes it sound kind of confusing, but i hope it makes sense. i am really pleased to be working with such a talented artist as heather and to create pieces made up of two different media. the image above is my first piece from heather. can't wait to show you our duos at the end of the month.

you can see my first image over at heather's blog {i'm sure she will be posting it soon}.

+ the second thing to announce is another amazing collaboration. this time with nicole. i have always been drawn to nicole's tabletop still lifes, so i am really looking forward to working with her. our project is called before and after. one of us will take a 'before' photo and one of us will take an 'after' photo. we will be posting once a week {probably on saturdays} over here.
please leave us comments and let us know what you think!

i think these will both be really fun and thanks for letting me share with you.
enjoy the rest of your weekend!
