dear santa,

you know, and i know, that i’ve been REALLY good this year. so lets stop this messin’ around and howsabout you bring me some of these treasures on my love list?


i’m not sure i even need to TELL you why i want this brooch by ‘friends with you’?! its just cool! and i have several lapels going unadorned at the current time.

books! books! books! i can never ever get enough. this christmas i’m wishing for:

the les mason epicurean magazine exhibition book, by the narrows gallery
20th Century Pattern Design by lesley jackson
and v&a pattern: pop patterns by oriole cullen

just when i think i’ve had enough of the stem pattern, along comes a bright yellow bag to prove otherwise. the orla kiely stem sparrow bag really needs to be in my wardrobe, and more often, on my arm.

all you need is love. in pin brooch form! a souvenir brooch from gemma’s bright signs show is just what i need to keep my OTHER lapel cozy.

and now my son is too big for blocks i suppose i have to just call these alexander girard blocks an executive desk toy? better become an executive quick smart!!

so thats just about it for me, santa. oh and if you could just go ahead and drop in a couple of airfares to new york via tokyo that’d be greeeaaaaat.

in september 2010 … my son turned 4 and had a space birthday party!

i showed three rooms decorated around my ‘little girls print’

we had lady’s nite! and i made an all girl mixtape

i swooned over sean yseult’s silk scarf designs

the groovy illustrations by sandra smith in ‘firebrand‘ was top of my bookpile.

 

i hope you find something fun you might have missed – september was a fun month*

 

 

 

*except for that bit were i was really really sick and convinced i was dying.

✽ recipe box ✽ playing cards ✽ vera scarf ✽

✽ london sights linen towel ✽ swirly fabric ✽

 

i’m a big fan of the purple and golden ochre/’peanut butter and jelly’ color combination: its unexpected, sophisticated but still fun. throw it in some groovy patterns and designs and i’m weak at the knees. how do you feel about these colors together?

pink & red ✽ turquoise & yellow ✽ pink
aqua & green ✽ red white & blue ✽ green
yellow ✽ teal & purple

ah! you found me hiding out here at my new hosting place. what do you think? if you find anything a bit wonky let me know, some things are still being polished. there are some new features, and some expanded ones too. take some time to have a look around and get involved, if you’d like to be added to the blog roll let me know!

this weeks etsy is one of my favorite accessories – a cheery enamel flower brooch, it always peps me up!
