Thank goodness it’s Friday, am I right? What a week we’ve all had, so much to do! I’m unplugging until Monday but I’ll be back then with a new week of blogtime fun. :) I am so busy this weekend that I don’t know how I’m going to do all I have on my list [...]
Designer, wife, mother and fabric lover Simone Howell from Gardenhouse in California is some kind of wonderful. Her handbag designs and children’s clothes are so creative and colorful, it’s hard not to imagine them as quilts, pillows and duvets. Simone is one of those ladies that you imagine designing her own line of fabrics or [...]
I have to share Australian designer Mae with you and her wall stickers because ohmygoodness they are the cutest whether you have a little one or not, these are just darling. I saw them for the first time last night at an Etsy shop live event and loved them instantly because instead of vinyl they [...]
Artist Sharon Elphick contacted me today about the opening of her new online shop, Elphicks, where you can find a curated selection of art prints from not only Sharon but from some of her favorite artists like Charley Harper, Karin Akesson and Hazel Nicholls.
It’s nice to be nice, what a sweet print — I especially [...]
Have you checked out Paper Source lately? I threw down a chunk ‘o change there last night to satisfy my paper cravings (and to organize my office) but you know, I have no real habits — I don’t smoke, I barely drink, you’ll never find me in a nudie bar with ten dollar bills (what [...]
Hello? Is it me your looking for? Sorry, I’m having a Lionel Richie moment. Cheesy I know, but good cheese. So, I’m a little late in posting today but can I just say that I had such a great morning!? I did. Totally. I’ve had a lot to do lately since I’m preparing for something [...]
I’ve been working on this interview for a few days after seeing German artist Carolin Samson comment on my blog recently. I clicked over from her comment and viola! I discovered her blog and Flickr photos. Upon noticing her flea market addiction, I knew I had to write to her to learn more about her [...]
I’ve been an Atlanta Bartlett fan long before I started writing decor8, in fact it was her work through the pages of her design books that inspired me early on and was one reason why I started taking art & design classes. My current favorite book is her new one, Easy Elegance, photographed by the [...]
Indiska is this lovely shop that I discovered recently and knowing that you also love this bazaar/boho style of things you really should go have a look. Indiska is based in Sweden and they sell all sorts of gems for the home in addition to fashion and accessories – and I can’t read Swedish but [...]
I wrote about my new camera today over at Haus Maus not expecting the overwhelming amount of interest (yay!) everyone has had in my little point and shoot pal. I updated the post with all the deets on how you can buy one of these instant Fujifilm Instant Mini 7S cameras so please stop by [...]
I’m running out to some appointments but I’ll be back later this evening with this week’s Etsy Take Five Tuesday. I know it’s a feature you all depend on here each Tuesday so I want to let you know I’m on it! :) Back in a few, friendsies!

The blogs are a buzz with sharing and chatting about the new IKEA PS collection for 2009. It’s funny to read all the opinions out there, some love IKEA, some discredit it as being for the college crowd only, and others don’t seem to have a set opinion — me, well I really love some [...]
