to start with, this swimsuit from la drama queen. simple, graphic, love it.

these sandals from tuto.  the pop of red would be nice with the black & white suit.

and then finish it off with these great earrings and sunhat from alisha white designs and the hat peddler.

you can see more here.

from ladies and gentlemen studio.  they’ve got some great vintage finds as well, you can see those here.

i came across the work of ronel jordaan and was instantly in love. after working as a textile designer for 26 years she started experimenting with felt. entirely self-taught, she now has an amazing range of products including cushions, scarves, wall hangings, throws and more. check out her site to learn more about her and see more of her incredible work. some of my favorite pieces below.

this saturday and sunday i’ll be participating in the renegade craft fair in my hometown!  i love this craft fair!  the amount of talent all in one place is amazing.  if you are in the area it’s definitely worth a visit! i’m in booth #248, stop by to say hello!

you can see more detail here.

a long overdue recap of the twist fair earlier this month. forgive me that these aren’t my actual photos from the show, none of them turned out very well.

there were some great vendors (as usual) and i was so happy to take part in the show.  some of my faves featured below -

amazing decoupaged plates by mary yanke. all of her work is beautiful, trying to pick just one favorite to show here was hard -

beautiful stationary from pressbound -

and some really cool hats from rocks and salt. i’m such a hat person! i’m sort of kicking myself for not having picked one up.

twist was great! i really want to put together a post to talk about all the super talented people who were there but at the moment i’m crazed.

in other news i’m going to be at two craft fairs this coming weekend – one in austin and one in philadelphia.  how you ask? cloning? time travel? nope, clay wood & cotton is going to have a booth at both events and they’re taking my work with them.

if you attend either let me know! i’d love to hear how both shows are.

it’s that time of year again!  i’m off to northampton, ma. tomorrow to participate in the twist fair. one of my favorite fairs, it’s run by very cool people and held in an absolutely beautiful space.  if you’re in the area it’s definitely worth checking out. and hopefully i’ll remember to bring my camera this weekend, i forgot to bring it to the show at the brooklyn lyceum.

happy weekend, be back monday!

i’ve been making these little embroidered sachets lately.  i just can’t seem to stop myself.  i’ve made over thirty of them and don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. they’ll be available at clay wood & cotton and i may put a few in my etsy shop as well.
