bookhou

i have mentioned bookhou before.. thought i would highlight their website.. again, i am inspired by their beautiful work!!

children's bentwood chairs

hand printed bags

lovely letterpress!!

paint

i ordered some new pigments to make milk paints.. acrylic doesn't feel inspiring anymore.. so thought i would try something different. here are a few paintings i did on paper from a year ago..

linen

mmm.. hemp and linen are my favorite textiles, well, i should include wool in that statement as well.. i often find myself dreaming of linen or hemp sheets..

fog linen is one of my favorite online shops for linen.. i have a linen top from fog and love it! she will mail to the US and is very helpful and gracious to work with! i love how she stamps her linens..

mackenzie frere

mackenzie frere.. this piece... it moves me..

bailey's

a simple fix for a generic pendant.. mason jar.. i took the old glass off and replaced it with mason jars.. first seen in restoration home (recycled home is the same book, different cover), a brilliant book by mark and sally bailey. i own both of their books and are my main resource for inspiration when i am tempted to start rearranging and changing our little home.

here are few photos from bailey's home and garden website..

khadi

khadi, hand spun cotton, hand made clothing.. a lovely photo of mahatma gandhi next to his spinning wheel..

and below, khadi by dosa. beautiful and, of course, inspiring.. i have a few pieces of hers and treasure them..
