Just a few moments ago I came across web shop Inspire Company quite by accident… one click, two clicks, three clicks, four and there I was at the Inspire Company blog authored by founder and shop owner Amy. I think I’ve seen Inspire Company (the shop) before but I’ve definitely not noticed the Inspired Ideas online magazine and the Inspired Friends page. I love this idea. It’s fresh and it is exciting to see imaginative shop owners sharing information about their sellers in such interesting and creative ways, Inspired Ideas reminds me of a scrapbook/mood board and each collage is pulled together so nicely. You really get a sense of who is selling there in her store and just how special these people really are.

The current issue spotlights the life and work of Canadian blogger and violin teacher Lilli Beck of Make Mine Blissful (she also has an etsy shop) and Lilli demonstrates a free DIY project for Inspired Ideas readers to enjoy.

I adore the mouse egg box tutorial. Squeak!

You can also visit some of the Inspire Company’s past Inspired Friends by clicking here and scrolling down. So many good little bites to chew on including a jewelry designer that I really like, Kristen Townsend of Mood Swing Studio.

I think that this bejeweled shade DIY is just great, directions here.

You can also find a past issue highlighting Hope Wallace, I’ve long been a fan (and customer) of her paper goods. More here on Miss Hope.

I hope that you enjoy visiting the Inspire Company today!

Miss Holly,

Thank you so much! You have made my day with this sweet post. My grandmother is very sick and I have been feeling down. This really brightened today up. I think I might try out that pretty little lampshade idea while I visit with her this weekend. It reminds me of the little bird cagelets that I have always loved over at Alicia Paulson’s site. Thank you again! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Warmly, Rebecca

I love mood swing studios! She is creating inovative pieces that are also socially responsible. The idea of reclaiming materials and transforming them into new designs keeps the artful, one of a kind thing central to the integrity of the design with the idea that recycling matters! This is a trend that we are now seeing in all aspects of design, from home to fashion! It is about time!

I met Amy & Hope at last year’s Silver Bella (see Nov 08 Country Living Magazine), and found them to be truly classy, creative and sharing ladies. Thanks for giving them the recognition they deserve Holly. And I love your updates from Deutschland. I lived there for four years as a teenager, and I’m amazed at how much it’s changed. Tsch?ss!
