I couldn't tell you the first time I noticed Cori's presence. She's one of those people who can shoot a photo and instantly you know it is one of her's. She can write a simple blog post that'll be in your head for days or find something at a thrift store that is equal to treasure.
For the past year or so, I've been lucky enough to call Cori a friend. She and I have similar things in our past and it feels nice to be around a person who can understand those "quirks". Cori's studio is far out on the opposite side of town and for some silly reason I had never visited until last week.
When we walked in I was in awe of all of her gorgeous goodies. Cori runs an online vintage shop as well as her handmade shop so her studio is filled with ephemera, books, tins, teacups, neat boxes, beautiful fabrics pretty much all things beautiful...you can follow her blog here.
I had fun poking around-hope you enjoy these photos! More to follow....
Tomorrow I have a BIG announcement! It's a surprise and I'm gonna need a lot of help!!
Eek!
Until tomorrow....
ah
gorgeous
wonderful studio
so much goodness in there

Cori's studio looks like such a lovely and peaceful place. I agree - her style is very unique... you can always tell what's hers! I hope you're having a great weekend.
