it’s a stitch!
[image from Design*Sponge - click here for more!] A few weeks back, I discovered DIY instructions for a pretty awesome tote bag by Renske on Design*Sponge. Being the wanna-be crafty gal that I am, I immediately shared my discovery on Facebook, with a feeble request for sewing machine donations. I wasn’t truly expecting a reply, … Read more

Did you know that José Gonzalez is in a band called Junip? I didn’t until a few weeks ago and I’ve been growing increasingly attached to their tunes ever since. The new album came out back in September. This video is a little quirky, but it doesn’t change how much I love the song itself. … Read more
counting the days
If I haven’t already professed my love for Gus & Ruby, let me do it now. I first found this gorgeous Portsmouth-based shop through Emilie at emilie inc. photography.

Swirl woos me again! The ever fabulous sale site is now recommending gifts, something super handy as we approach the holidays. Included in their lineup were a few unique plant and tree gifting ideas.

walking pretty
Well… I promised, didn’t I? If you know me, you know I LOVE shoes. Heck, I had a shop nearly dedicated to them (with a little jewelry and a few handbags thrown in). Something I learned not too long after I started stocking shoes at Clarabella? Two of the brands that I found, loved, and … Read more
why I love anthropologie, the fall edition
Sometimes I feel a little like an Anthropologie ad. I don’t mean to, I swear. It’s just that I love so much of what they stock. Would it honestly be too much to ask for them to move their corporate offices to Portland so that I can get signed on as a buyer? Seriously… someone … Read more
