While at Renegade I remember walking by a booth and seeing some marvelous prints of submarines but I didn’t want to buy prints and have to keep them safe and flat for the week on my trip. I swore to myself I’d go through all the artists on the site though to find the ones […]
Last week, after my day in San Francisco, I went up to Sonoma for a few days as I’ve never been up there before and Steph was running her half marathon on that Sunday. While there we went to many vineyards including one called the Hess Collection, which was recommended by my aunt as it […]
As I’ve said before – I really love felt. While at the Renegade Craft Fair this past weekend I saw tons of yarn and lots of garments as well as tons of stationary too – one of the most technically interesting though was Heartfelt Studios scarves. At first glance, from afar, I thought that they […]
Another Renegade Craft Fair find was Papaver Vert whose founder, Patty Benson, and I got talking at length about felting crochet pieces. Much like some of my own amoebas, Patty’s take the idea a step further to wet felting them, which she does in her washing machine uses a pair of jeans as agitation. The […]
Another find at the Renegade Craft Fair was Dandy Lion Press – owned and operated by Maia Karolina de Raat. She owns a letterpress upon which she makes amazing cards and stationary inspired by animals – real and imaginary – I think. Maia also makes calendars annually it appears – the first it appears was […]

My friends are so awesome – Soo Mi and Charlotte this weekend came across a public knitting installation going on and took pictures for me to share! They couldn’t remember quite where this was taking place but it’s on a fence clearly! I wish I could have seen it in person – and met the […]
As I help out Nest more and more I’m learning that all the people involved are intriguing, supportive and creative. As the summer gets into full swing now that the rain is slowing down they’re planning their summer event and it’s going to be in the Hamptons with Rugby Ralph Lauren at their East Hampton […]
Also at Cite the other weekend, I stumbled upon Niels van Eijk and Miriam van der Lubbe – turns out their work extends so far beyond the handgun purse that was there I almost want to separate this into multiple posts but I’m going to try one! I love how the above are like apartment […]
