I don't know about you but I LOVE sandwiches. I am almost positive that they are the best invention ever and when they are on ridiculously delicious bread there is nothing better to put in your mouth.
It's true.
All of these photos are from Lovejoy Bakers and I cannot wait to go and try a sandwich there. I'll be sure to report...
What is your favorite kind of sandwich? Right now, mine in fried egg+cheddar on cibatta with onion chutney.
I'll be the first to admit it: I love junk. Tiny objects, strange knick knacks, things with backstories-these things make my heart flutter. The website Tombees du Camion is a treat if you are a junk lover like me.
This Parisian shop has created a ridiculously clever online experience. Even if you don't speak French, click on the "mises en scene" and you'll see what I mean.
Thanks to dear oly for sharing this site and all of her beautiful photos from her recent Parisian adventure.
If you read my other blog, you may have read that my husband and I decided that this year we would not exchange gifts.
I am totally okay with this-but I wanted to share my "if we were exchanging gifts, this is what I would want" list with you all. Because maybe, just maybe you are still looking for that perfect something and these are all gifts that you can still get in time for the big day.
1. Beautiful poster by Jen Causey-you can buy it here and it's even on sale! I would hang it above my computer and stare at it far too often
2. A practical, pretty, recycled tote by forest bound. Try and snag one quickly here. They go fast.
3. This fun print by Sandra Juto. Pick one up over here-and be sure to wish her a happy birthday today :)
4. The Japanese volume of Lines and Shapes. Available here and on sale, too.
5. (Not pictured) a membership to Portland's awesome IPRC.
Ah....it did feel better to get that out
just.in.case.
;D
I found this little site through a twitter contact and don't know a lot about them except that I adore everything in the field holiday store.
Happy Friday!
Do you ever "run across" some one online and think that you know who it is and just kinda keep moving along and then one day you really take a good look at their site and think-"wow, this person is amazing"....
Tara, a video editor over at Etsy, emailed me yesterday and asked me to please watch the most recent Handmade Portraits video featuring Liane from Enhabiten. I watched it-and am so glad I did! I feel like I've seen Liane's work before-but like so many things-lost the link along the way and was so happy to have found her again.
Liane's love of old things hit me right in the heart-and I have a feeling we'd be fast friends if we met. I adore her ability to mix and match and create new things. The pillows shown above are her creations-and is it sick to say that I want them all?
Be sure to visit her blog here, her etsy shop over here, and watch her video over here.
Oh...and check out this tour of her home-gorgeous!
Jen Causey and Shari Altman are two of my favorite people.
Yes, it is true, I've never met either one in person but I feel as though I've gotten to know them through their photos.
Lucky for us the two have made a beautiful book together! It is called City: Country and exploration in transition and you can preview it (and buy it) right here.
I'm a little sad that my husband and I decided "no gifts" this year because this would be my #1. Maybe I'll just have to write it off as a necessity...for work purposes, you know?
Hurry-quick-there's a new shop update over at herriott grace!
The shop stocked full of utterly gorgeous hand made wooden wares always sells out fast-and I can see why. The beautiful spoons, bowls, platters and pedastals are just so beautiful, it's hard to resist.
Alisha Henson creates beautiful things right here in Portland, Oregon.
Check out her new shop over here. I am totally digging her journal.
