Hair shirt

These are creepy  but cool. From Species By the Thousands in Brooklyn. 

On the street

Since I am a fashion designer by day I thought it only fitting to report the hottest trend in accessories this side of Brooklyn....plants. Look how cool this woman looks carrying her plant down the street. I spotted her on the subway and literally chased her down for a photo-op. Notice how her purple striped poncho coordinates perfectly with the striped pot. The green leaves work wonderfully with her skirt and shoes. It could not have been planned any better by a stylist.  Sorry the image is so small and blurry. I used my camera phone.

Technicolored Dreams

Shanon speaks the language of dreams. 

Here are mine she managed to recreate so beautifully.

Great Lakes Basin

I've been inspired by papermichelle who makes wonderful cards like above. She posted a little etsy tribute to NYC so I decided to make one in honor of where she is from: the Great Lakes Basin. Enjoy!

{no2} interlude

I finally added my not so secret source of inspiration to my blog list. Cat is out of the bag. I am a sucker for anything with a number! I'm sure you know her store already!

Special Thanks to Poppytalk

Wow it is such a thrill to browse your favorite blog and find a picture you took there. I can not thank Jan enough for her kind support and letting me participate in quite a few handmade markets. Go buy some indie stuff!

And thank you too for reminding me about Nightwood. LOVE IT. WANT IT. NEED IT.

I just love these shop photos. This girl likes to have fun! Just look at those poses.

Check out her shop and her blog. 

The Horses are on the Track

Hellooooo I've been away too long. It's been really hard on me the past 2 weeks having to keep my head down and just produce produce produce to finish all the "made to order" ceramic pieces I promised. I am a creative spirit so to do the same thing over and over again is a little mind numbing and very tiring. Of course knowing that the end result is BROOKLYNrehab growing and reaching more and more people is well worth it. I finally spent some time away from the studio this past holiday weekend. I did a little vintage shopping which is always a joy for me. See more vintage in my Etsy store soon! For now this little trophy topper. I love him. The flash card is from the lovely Monkeys Always Look just featured herself on Etsy.

Stranger things have happened

I had this idea to use a fowarding address/return to sender stamp to announce an upcoming store event I will be doing (more about that later). While looking for authentic stamps and imagery I stumbled upon these beauties on the Postal History website. They are actually for sale. Just thought I'd share incase you ever need to buy one ;)

The Century Room

Make some room Alison. I've moving in :) I just love her space. See her room photos on flickr and her interview on ETSY.

Eye Candy

Fun stuff from Morgan Jesse Lappin and The Rubber Jerusalem Experiment. It sort of reminds me of Henry Darger for some reason.
