Simrin

I'm diggin' the home-goods over at Simrin. The products are inspired by vintage fabrics, natural organic forms & algorithmic patterns. Above are the multiple styles of laminated fabric trays from the Surya collection. Below are the trays from the Nature collection.

Each pattern collection also features a variety of tablecloths, place mats & napkins {below, right}. The site recently debuted glassware which is also available in both of the above patterns, as well as the fun, new, kitschy Icon {below, left}.

Welcome, Autumn

It's officially here, as of today!

Viva Terra

I think these Recycled Glass Balloon Vases are marvelous. Their lopsided imperfectness totally does it for me.

Erie Basin

Erie Basin is a fantastic source for 19th and 20th century antique jewelry, as well as for contemporary pieces by modern day jewelers whose work lends a nod to yesteryear.The shop features bits of adornment that are carefully selected, mindfully chosen and brilliantly crafted.

Emo-broidery

The witty craftsters at Miso Funky are stitching up a different type of cross-stitch sampler than the kind your Granny makes.


These samplers catch you off guard & crack you up -- unless you are easily offended {there are a few on the brasher side}. I happen to adore them. "Hand-stitched in hell!," as their website proudly proclaims.
