echooooo.

is anybody out there? please feel free to comment so i don't feel like i'm just shouting wildly into the gaping maw of the internet. thanks!

molvin.

i'm not really too into "this is what i wore today" blogs, they mostly just make me feel dumpy and poor. however, i keep finding myself checking out stylebytes, a mostly "wiwt" style blog from a girl in norway named agathe. she's got great style, fancy clothes, a beautiful face and delightful pictures, but what draws me back is the PET PIG. named molvin. yes.

nevermind the dewdrops.

my friend katie henry, aka madebyhank, makes really beautiful things. like perfectly crafted handbags and backpacks made from old skirts and curtains and leather belts and buttons. her attention to detail {and texture and color and size and shape} is stunning and sometimes you'll find a lil bunny embroidered on the flap. not only totally cute, but super durable as well.



when she's not sewing bags she's sewing...octopi. and walruses and ostriches. usually lounging on the beach, or playing tennis or enjoying a tiny cake while holding a red balloon. these sewn drawings are all done by hand on a regular ole sewing machine. no fancy computers involved! she's got a new show going up at this friday, april 4th at café estelle {444 north 4th street in philadelphia, PA}. it's called nevermind the dewdrops and there will be tiny cucumber sandwiches and tiny beers and probably mint juleps. if you're in town make sure to check it out!!!

neat hand-cut type from alex bec.

weekend.

this weekend i got my netflix of the first disc of planet earth. i've only watched the first episode so far, but it's so amazing. i think that i said "THAT'S CRAZY!" about 100 times during the first hour. having to wait a few days to get the next disc is going to be a minor torture. other than that i spent most of the weekend inside working on a piece for a show i'm in this friday. more about that later, if i ever get my hands on a flyer for it.


the most exciting part of my weekend, however, was counting and rolling alllll of my change. after dumping out my bunny banks and scrounging in the corners of my room i have an extra 46$ in my life! now all i need is 553$ more and i'll be able to afford an authentic eames wire chair with eiffel base {or another 184$ for a repro}. sheesh.
