new to drawpilgrim.com? or maybe you just missed out on a week or two? take a look at some highlights from november 2010
shop love at little shop of handmade
love list had some pretty treasures!
i made a donovan mixtape
‘cosmic curiosities’ was one of my favorite ‘as seen on etsy’s
and five-o-rite showed off five of my favorite finds
time to see what’s on my wish list for this month. this is a very important edition, because my birthday is approaching and so hint dropping is at an all time high around this house right now. what to get the girl who has almost everything…?
oh my. its just spectacular – and so is the price tag – but it marries two of my favorite things together: 60′s counter culture design & fantasia. fantasia was the first film i ever saw (at the cinema or anywhere) and i’ve recently had the pleasure of introducing it to my own son. according to wikipedia the 1969 rerelease of fantasia was popular with the kids who’d come and watch it lying down in the front row with the aid of marijuana or LSD. to capitalize on this craze they even made this poster to woo those crazy stoners. can you imagine a film poster being designed to bring in, say, meth users? no wonder those hippies were anti establishment! damn the man and his amazing poster. anyway it worked, because that rerelease was the first time that fantasia had made a profit! poster available from artist direct.
next up is some slightly psychedelic footwear. i imagine this is what you’d wear if you were going to do some amazing kaleidoscopic bob fosse routine. none of that all-in black here, thanks mister fosse. it’s mauve for me! and before you ask, yes i do have outfits that these would go with. i have outfits of every color! i created the solution so this would never be a problem. available from modcloth.
an apple a day, they say. no one mentioned if it had to be cast iron or not. if i were to receive this, i promise you, i would prepare every meal in it. i like apples a lot. available from terrain where you’ll also find a cast iron green pepper!
i adore these paumes interiors books, they’re so jam packed with inspiration. i have a bunch of the kid’s room ones and don’t you agree that copenhagen interiors sounds right up my alley? i love them because they are a peek into real homes, full of loved possessions and hopefully happy stories. i can always find a little something to fire my creativity in a paumes book. available from lark (who now ship internationally!) do you remember my visit to lark?
i love vera, i inherited both my mum and my grandmother’s scarves and they both had a number of vera beauties that i now treasure. sadly my favorite has been pretty badly eaten away and i’m not sure i can mend it. i’ve kept my eye out for another of similar design, but haven’t found one yet. i can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this book and pore over every single detail. grab your own copy of vera: the art and life of an icon
so that’s my picks for this month, only time will tell what the birthday wish fair grants me. stay tuned!
in the words of burt bacharach “i’m wishin’ and hopin’ and plannin’ and dreamin’” for all of this pretty stuff! here’s what’s on my wishlist this month:
let’s ease into this gently, no billion dollar rugs this month (i’m not sure that rug was a billion dollars, but i didn’t want to look!) isn’t this sewing kit from modcloth sweet? i would buy it for the tin alone (if i didn’t already have 16,000 or so spools of inherited cotton). i feel like it could have been made just for me. its so perfect, with its mod-ish flowers and cheery gingham base! makes me want to thriftily repair things and make charming patchworks and wear gunne sax style frocks. but that sounds mighty time- consuming so maybe i’ll just not.
color it yerself you lazy slug! ooh with pleasure! this scandinavian inspired screen printed poster by summerville comes black and white and ready for your colorful interpretations. there are simply not enough occasions for coloring in adult life. too much form filling in, not enough coloring. i love the style of this poster. it is so my thing and it even looks a bit like my hand drawn style (you may not be surprised to learn i like drawing flowers. if you are surprised, hi i’m pilgrim an i’m a floral-a-holic). but back to this poster, wouldn’t it be a great present for a housewarming if you weren’t sure of their decor? they can color it to match whatever they like! genius.
more flowers (see i told you i liked them!) as seen on plasticland. i actually already have some measuring cups similar to this, but they’re (extremely awesome) love hearts, so alas there is no room in my life (or drawer) for flower-shaped scoops, but a girl can look, right?! ah… flower cooling racks. perfect for cooling a fresh batch of ‘lazy daisy’ chocolate cookies. i have no idea why they’re called lazy daisies, but they’re really yummy, quick and easy chocolate cookies. seriously, i was making them when i was seven years old. these are eeeeeeeasy cookies, people! leave a comment if you want the recipe.
have you seen this wallpaper before? when i first saw it i actually went slack-jawed and speechless for a while. there i was tripping through the internet daisies then bam! hazz-aa-waaaaa-paaa waaal-paaa… i think my boyfriend was moments away from calling a doctor when i stopped drooling and regained my faculties and pointed out just how incredible this jonathan adler wallpaper is. the blue and green one needs to come and live in my bathroom. want! oh jonathan adler, your products make me happy. why am i cursed to only rent my dream home, its like i love the house but it just wants to stay friends and not let me wallpaper it. that analogy works, right?
last of all is this slice of awesome: a 1973 ikea catalogue as seen on the retro! blog (yes i know its in swedish, but the swedes have all the good pictures of stuff). it hadn’t actually occurred to me that there might be ikea catalogues from the past. ikea in my mind is just very now and though i know it’s old, i just assumed it was much smaller and not-cataloged. but this discovery has lead to a dangerous new ebay saved search! oh for a time machine…
what about you? what are you pining for this month, and would you like to borrow my time machine to visit 1973 ikea?
“VOLUME 1Josef Albers Color Theory, A Mid Century Modern Knoll Fabric, Oscar Wilde, the exuberant paint colors used to decorate the walls of the Federalist period, a color of an Andy Warhol painting at the Dia Museum, the color Puce which I remember mixing when oil painting as a child, a green – winged teal, the dark inky blue of a never ending deep lake at night and the fear of swimming in it, and of course the red Valentine typewriter.”
