Erin’s announcement post with info about the wonderful project.

My bedroom made it into the last issue “Inspiring corners of your home“.

Erin is an amazingly wonderful and supportive person who has been so encouraging to me to launch my patterns. I can’t begin to express how wonderful I think she is and how sincerely passionate she is about inspiring all of us.

I love all the work in this issue but am especially drawn to the dreamy quality of the three photos above. The last one is by a 14 year old…watch out world. Here’re the artist’s sites:

Modern Radar: Beautiful handmade bags, cards, & earrings

Modern Radar is a lovely company in North Carolina. Their beautiful products are screen-printed & sewn. I need to learn silk screening….someday. They try to employ the best quality recycled or vintage materials to create, package, and ship their gorgeous goods.

I would love to carry around that lovely swallow tote and send my friends some greetings on their colorful and quirky cards.

Jennifer Squires & Alena Hennesy: Beautiful things for you to admire in your home.

Jennifer Squires just emailed me to let me know about her beautiful photoshop on etsy. I think it would be great to order like 5 prints from her and hang them next to each other on a white wall or cool sky blue. Thanks for sharing Jennifer!! Check out her commercial work here.

I also got a great message in my inbox today, Alena Hennesy who I’ve posted about before here and here is having a blowout sale on select items. I love her stuff. I would buy a lot of it but I’m spending all my do-ray-mi (oh my) on my fabric samples for Surtex. Please (all of you) go and support this incredible designer/artist. I’d like to live vicariously through you. If you do order something drop me a line with a picture of what you got so I can swoon.
