These are pictures of my favorite place to buy ribbon, Fabric Barn. They have rows and rows of ribbons. As I walk through this store, I dream up all kinds of fun handmade creations I can make. They also sell wholesale. If you are ever in Long Beach, Ca, check them out at 3111 E. Anaheim, Long Beach. 562-498-0675
I love these bowls. I found them over at moderndose. These would be lovely on one of my beautiful Antropologie table cloths.
This post is dedicated to our Northwestern families, whom we'll be spending some time with very soon. Here's a thermos I betcha don't have in your Thermos Museum. You can get one right here. This one is covered in a wonderful William Morris design. If you are in the Seattle area and want to see their collection, head over to Hi Lo's 15th st Cafe in Bremerton.
I'm in love with my Groove flip flips. I wear them pretty much everyday, for 9 months out of a year. I have many colors: green, white, hot pink, brown and orange. They are comfortable and last forever. I was camping at the beach once, and a sneaker wave came all the way onshore and took out everything on the beach, including one of my groove sandles. I was bummed cause those were the only shoes I had with me. I couldn't bare the thought of going barefoot. I'm not sure how, but like an hour later, my husband spotted them in the water from the bluff we were camping on. He ran down the stairs, and found my missing flip flop. What a guy! I seriously couldn't believe it. So, as I was on my hunt for wedges on line I was checking out Groove and spotted these cute flats.
I've been a big fan of French Bull for a couple of years now. They make very colorful and stylish melamine kitchenware. They have even taken their signature patterns and parlayed them into bedding too. I use their pieces for our kids plates and cups. I was so over the princess and Pooh plates. The cool thing about this line, is that everything mixes and matches. I can even mix these with my vintage melamine pieces. The only down side, is that these can't go in the mircowave, but they are dishwasher safe. 
These lovelies were featured on one of my favorite blogs design*sponge the other day. The wonderful wall hangings are made in Australia by Bird and Wolfe. The talented artist offer these whimsical piece at afford prices. I would hang any these in our guest bathroom. I've been looking at vinyl art, but this is more my style. These silhouettes indulge in my love of nature and offer a bit of happiness too. 
On my lunch hour the other day, my friend and I hit up 4th Street in Long Beach. This consignment store The Vintage Collective had a couple of items that caught my eye. The paint by numbers painting was so cool and only $25, I would hang this little birdie in our bedroom. The second painting was more inspirational. So simple and natural. This plastic coat rack rocked. If we had space, this would be ours. I could hang so much stuff on this. The wooden divider behind the rack so really pretty too. 
My niece sent me this cool link http://www.1154lill.com/. This site lets you design your own hand bags. I could spend hours doing this. Here's a few of my designs. See what you can come up with.
