I’ve stated before how much I love Rubie Green and think that the founder, Michelle Adams, is an inspiration to young, crafty women out there everywhere. I still need to post about her new line of bedding but right now I’m really taken with the photography she and her photographer pal, Patrick Cline are selling […]
This Boston artist is a woman after my own heart – just look at all those dots, look like amoebas to me! Isabelle Abramson lives near where I grew up in Boston’s Back Bay and I’m definitely interested in focusing more on what’s going on in various regions in the crafts/arts space. Not only that […]
I must admit I’ve been coveting one of Yokoo’s pieces for months now and haven’t had the courage to purchase – as you can see, they’re HUGE! In keeping with my fascination with all things knit, when I saw Yokoo’s Etsy store I had to tell everyone I met. I have no idea how she […]
When I lived in Telluride a few years ago I worked at the Ah Haa School for the Arts. In the summer the school runs an annual Art Auction, its biggest fundraiser of the year. There are lots of amazing artists and incredible people in that town – its scenery, terrain and atmosphere bring in […]

I have a few friends who have things that I covet – one of my friends, Abby, has the vast majority of those items. The most amazing part about her is that she just loves color and shapes and most importantly tradition – most of the time I can’t tell if she knows how precious […]
On my flight home from San Francisco last night I was lucky enough to be on Virgin America and be able to have Wi-Fi the whole time. I caught up on many of my blogs and came across some amazing new things including the work of Hisano Takei. As my friends know, I have a […]
One of my favorite people, my friend Ali, launched a fabulous online jewelry boutique a few months back called Charm & Chain. I’ve attempted to be wildly supportive and only just realized I should immediately have blogged about the boutique here. The above necklace is a new one from Lizzie Fortunato Jewels. I love how […]
