We're In!

We are finally in our new Condo! It's been a while, and we have sure missed the blog world! Things are still quite hectic around here, but we're settling in and LOVING it! Here is a taste of our new office. All of the items from Ikea of course (I keep asking myself what we would do without it). There are a few things that I am super excited about that are not in the office. . . I need to take pictures of for you to see.

Well, for the next month the theme will be decorating. It seems like a lot of people I know are buying new homes and ready for some decorating inspiration! If you are one of those people (or not!) here are a few links of blogs/shops that I have been visiting lately. More to come!

Cake Rock Beach

Woah, hold up! We've been SO busy lately that I completely forgot to show you my newest fabric obsession! Cake Rock Beach by Joelle Hoverson. It very well could be my all-time favorite collection. I love the colors and the natural simplicity of the designs. The entire group goes together perfectly, and I absolutely cannot wait to begin sewing with it! (omg, looking at the image above I just realized this fabric would make a beautiful quilt—time to buy more!)

On a different note, we're moving this week! Woohoo! This will probably be the last post for a week or so, but without a doubt I'll be back when we're settled in, and decorating will be on my mind! I'll probably be so happy that you might expect a give-away :)

MMMM

Just looking at this precious, petite tray is making want a goodie! An impulse buy at Powell's Home and Garden.

S37 Gallery

The SQUID37 Gallery is now up and running! You may notice a few familiar images in our first series from this post. Enjoy, have a great weekend!

Check out this print from Kokka. It just came in at SMS!!

Fresh Etsy Picks

Desert 02 Gocco Print from yoo-ii


Susan - Ladybug Handbag from Shagpile

Springtime is simply the best! The sun comes out, colors are everywhere, and people are happy! Hope you enjoy these fresh finds from Etsy as much as I do!

Irana Douer

I came across the fabulous work of Irana Douer via Bloesem, and have come to the conclusion that her illustrations are perfect in every way. Her ceramics are lovely (you can buy them here), I think they would make great wedding gifts!

Urban Outfitters

I've slowly been gathering inspiration for my first quilt (which I was planning to start in February, but so it goes!) and found this one at Urban Outfitters. I love how the textile designs, colors, and quilt style are so simple and natural. This photo makes me want to crawl right in.

Also loving these kitchen goods.

Nanako Koyama

A month or so ago maditi likes (one of my favorite blogs to visit) posted some of Nanako Koyama's images, and I have been hooked ever since. Her work is beautiful. . . you have to check it out! And, if you want to buy some prints go to her Etsy shop! This image is my favorite, but I waited too long to buy it and now it is gone, hopefully she puts another up soon!!

Wrapping Paper

New (much needed) wrapping paper! I got these from Powell's Home & Garden.
By Snow & Graham.

Shopping

My mom is in town for the weekend. We are going to do a bit of shopping, woohoo!!
Maybe you wish to do some shopping too?! Here are some great online shops I often visit:

    Little Paper Planes
    Lotta Jansdotter (Her fabric is now available!!! Gorgeous)
    Henry Road
    Three Potato Four

That should keep you busy for a while! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Echino Leopard

This is one of those fabrics that would be hard to live without (from the Echino fabric collection by Estuko Furuya for Kokka). Definitely in my top 10, although I have no idea what to do with it! Any ideas? It feels worthy of a nice big spot on the wall.

Sneak Peak

Here's a little sneak peak at our 2008 Spring/Summer card line!
