barn news: it’s hot!
garden to table
we stopped by my favorite in the country farm stand for some farm fresh veggies. i love going here because there are always a couple of farmers sitting at a table shooting the sh*t. probably complaining how hot it is and how much we need the rain.
this barn is decked out with antiques and all of the vegetables are on display. and the barn news is always good.
paper cut project meets fashion week
instant inspiration
our good friend amy flurry and partner nikii salk make these amazing accessories entirely from tiny pieces of hand cut paper. this week, they will be taking their paper.cut.project to NY for fashion week. they have designed a series of hand cut masks for designer jen kao. i am sure it will be wonderful and inspiring- i can’t wait to see pictures.
here is a little video that shows how they make each piece.
t-shirt re-do
in the country
finally had a rainy day over the weekend, so i took the opportunity to work on some sewing projects. i feel compelled to write ‘love’ on everything lately, so i appliqued the word ‘love’ on the back itwas fun picking out the colors. i decided never mind about hemming the edges, just stitch the heck out of it and let the edges unravel over time. i just cut the neck hole how i wanted it, then stitched a long strip of peach calico onto the edge of the t-shirt. it will unravel slowly, too, adding charm (hopefully). anyway, people smile when they see it, and that’s good.
bees!
homes and habitats
we always stop at farmers markets when we see them. we were driving through houschton GA and met this beekeeper who showed us the process of getting honey and beekeeping. he inspired us to ponder the thought of getting our own hive…..maybe soon! visit here to find out more about bee keeping.
this book is a good one too!
