Inspiration - vintage engravings

These are fun, from Thomas Paul, via Bodega Shoppe - I love the envelope!

Do you know Jack?

I think all of these pillows are very nicely designed and produced - by Secdus. The first one is just lovely, especially if you happen to have a Jack Russell (any of you?) That's a very calm looking pup - much more calm than any of the feisty Jacks around here!

Bluebellgray

Have you seen Bluebellgray? They're a Scottish textile design company specializing in the home interiors market. Every design is produced in a limited number and is individually signed. So much energy and colour - how can you not love these designs?

Uzbec Suzani resource

I thought I'd share this with you in case any of you are looking for a good source for pretty Uzbec Suzanis. This Ebay seller has a great selection and they seem like a good price too.

Felt cameos

Aren't these fun? And so original! So stylish and beautifully crafted. I'm smitten with these too! Beautiful felt cameos from Yalipaz on Etsy.

Vintage packaging

Love this vintage packaging. Vintage linen thread from Burgandy Brocante. Thanks Fiona, for the tip - not me, my friend Fiona!

Sweater stools

Crazy sweater stools from Claire Anne O'Brien via House and Home. The textures are fabulous and they look terrific as a group don't they?

Instant spring!

Here's a healthy dose of spring for you - a simply stunning scarf from AVA Original. Her work is fascinating and beautiful and unique. The ethereal quality is very inspiring and uplifting. I also love the elegant single flowers. More here.

Viewfinder

I knew what these were as soon as I spotted them via Hanna Sandvig's favourites in Etsy. This wonderful Viewfinder fabric design is from Kokka via Matatabi.

Busy bunnies!

Just when you think you've seen all the vintage fabric, a 'new' one shows up. I've never seen this pattern before and I love it. It's beautifully illustrated and really interesting - that's a lot of bunnies doing a lot of different things! I found it here at Chenille Bliss.

Random yardage

This super pretty fabric is from Jennifer Pagenelli. Isn't it pretty? The yellow makes it look very Provençial. I think it's lovely :-)

Colour inspiration

No, we are not turning into a quilting blog - though I think Doug's mum would like that :-) Some quilters have an amazing sense of colour. I was so impressed with these 'improvisational' quilts from Sherri Lynn Wood. The colors seem to have faded a little when I uploaded them to blogger(sorry about that) but you can see more of Sherri's fab work on her website - beautiful quilts!

Inspiration - stitching!

Oh these are so pretty! So unusual and so fun. Don't you love the colour choices and the layering? These beauties are from The Candy Thief!

Wake up!

Just a little eye candy to wake up the old eye balls after a few days off! These beauties are available form Arriba Chica.
