: : I have always loved .eva solo. and especially their teamaker. all their forms are just incredibly beautiful, organic and inviting and I just love the round softness of the teamaker, with the little sweater on. I was reading in an article today that the teamaker won a gold IDEA [Industrial Design Excellence Award] this year. exciting!

: : could it be the red..


: : I don't know exactly why I fell so for this one....but I just love this Christmas card....maybe it's the red.. *smile*. print&pattern is sharing a lot of great sites where you can find beautiful and fun Christmas cards. i've never been one to do the "christmas card thing" but some of these cards are definitely inspiring me to.

I have to apologize to anyone who has been trying to find this gorgeous red Christmas card, I gave you all the wrong link, my mistake...and I'm so sorry. [Thank you Mary Jo and Michi Rohana for catching my mistake]. I was able to locate the card...and I have good news, it's available online at the MoMa store. Jippiee!! It's designed by Peagreen in the UK, but doesn't seem to be available through their site though. For those of you who were especially attached to this card, I hope this will help make your holidays merry!

: : hello. I'm sorry the posts have been so sparse in the past week. i've been doing some traveling and haven't had as much access to the internet as I usually do. but, now I'm back and here is a new dose of color.

I mentioned .variegated inc. in my "pillow madness post" a few months ago. recently, one of the owners of variegated inc .jim. contacted me to thank me for the mention. I was excited to learn a little bit more about the company, about him and Corbett, the two owners, and to see more of their collection. I thought I'd share some more of their happy beddings and pillows with you all.
