Updates Galore

I promise we haven't disappeared from the planet. We're both just busy with new projects lately. In case you need a dose of sweet and coldness, check out the following:

Kristen is playing some mighty fine tunes. Listen to her here. She also may or may not still be learning Russian from cranky instructors.

Claire is posting all anew over at The Perfect Binge and amalgam of everything she finds - oooh sparkley!

Both of them are way overdue for a meet-up over some fancy martinis.

Patches of sweetness

How darling are these pillows by thelittleprints? Her wreaths are equally as cute.

Wowee

Luzia Pimpinella has some crazy cute items in her shop - like this owl keychain. But you really must take a gander at her blog or flickr account. Her daughter is one of the coolest dressed lil kids I've seen.

Guaranteed

If you need a smile, get thee to Marc Johns' flickr stream or his new blog. The man is funny and odd in just the right sort of way.

Rain drops

Oooh! How pretty! Made by pamelasusan. This is going straight into the super-coveted territory.

Idea

The pattern on this dish is so fun that I'd love to see it on a dress. A happy happy summer dress. Find the dish at SurrenderDorothy.

Soft spoken

Jeremiah Ketner does some interesting paintings. This one titles "Soft Spoken" caught my eye. See more of his work at Small and Round.

Ladylike

This tin from ModishVintage is so unrepentently girly.

Cups

Oooh - how I'd love to have these cups and serve something like cordial in them while I chatter in my garden with friends. Find them at LoucheLab.

No good reason

I have no good reson to covet this cloth. No impending projects that call for it. But still the magpie in me wants.

Spring spring spring

I'm dying for spring and pretty spring dresses. Expect to see loads around these parts. This one would look like ass on my football-ish shoulders, but is insanely cute.

Just what I need

Cause whale vases are the thing. Seriously, this piece by oneblackbird is awesome.

Suspicion

I suspect that this isn't the first bag by neikodesigns that I've posted, but I'm too lazy to go back an look. Their bags are amazing.

Tell me your secrets

Ooooh - aren't you intrigued by IvivaEmbroiders? Snippets and curiosities abound.

Vibrant

Go take a peak at RLM Studios. They have a lot of vibrant artwork. This piece in particular caught my eye.

Eek!

How awesome is this vintage dress from BetaBoutique's shop? It looks a great deal like Kristen's super cute coat that I covet every time I see.

Girly

This belt by desirapesta is so well structured and adorably girly. I think it would be super easy to incorporate this into a wardrobe.

Pink birds

Awww....don't you just love these wood toys by urastarhouse? Super cute!

Melancholy dolls

I love blackeyedsuzies' dolls. They all look so unconsolable and put me in mind of Laura Marling - particularly this song.

Hee!

Vivstrauss's art is sublimely ridiculous. Take this adorable piece entitled "Harriet Had Reached the Point Where One Could No Longer Dispute that She Was in Fact a Cat Lady" Fantastic.
