knick knacks & ric rac

i picked up a bunch of bags of glass globs at the 99cent store a while ago and decided to use them to spruce up some windows. i used them on the little windows on my front door (except for one square so i can peek out of it)… it sparkles at night from outside! so pretty! i […]

i just finished sewing up skirt samples of one of my new prints for fall/winter. i call this one my ‘favorite things’ print, well, because it features a few of my favorite things. like toadstools and edelweiss and kissing bunnies and…see for yourself! the red print is paired with black denim, and the green print […]

i know i’ve said it before, and this won’t be the last time…i love etsy! my newest favorite shop is doll disaster designs. i couldn’t be more thrilled with these two new cuties… i was fortunate enough to ‘discover’ these goodies from reading liana kabel’s blog and immediately fell in love. tessa rickard makes molds […]

here’s some pictures of lovely ladies sassin’ it up on the runway during a mini fashion show i did a couple of weeks ago…fun!

here’s some of my favorite art hangin’ around the house… these two are by a girl named amy moi who was an art student in boston. she had a little show up at the middle east around 1994 and i fell in love with her stuff. these are screen prints featuring knick knacks and stuffed things she […]

summertime makes me want to go on road trips. i don’t have plans for any this summer (which is probably good or else you’d never see those dresses i’ve been promising!) i shouldn’t say i don’t have ANY planned. i want to go to solvang and eat a giant pancake, but i guess that’s really […]
