lovin' lorena.

ok, i know amazing ceramicist lorena barrezueta's beautiful line of jewelry is not that new anymore. but i've been coveting it for months and seeing samantha's gorgeous "s" necklace last night made me remember how badly i want to rock the lovely little number below.
except, it might make me feel like a loser. is that the first thing you think of too?
maybe i should stick to one of these purty bracelets. no misinterpretation there.

speaking of quilting...

there are many times i wish i was as crafty as my imagination would allow me to be.
this table runner would be one of the first things on my to-do list. the purl bee has a million tutorials that make me want to dust off my sewing machine and whip out my knitting needles. someday, soooomeday!

quilt it.


check out caroline's awesome tutorial on the mother-lode of DIY sites, threadbanger! and yes, she knows it's a hexagon. you don't need to tell her. again.

the bbdub rub

wendy mullin is trying to kill me.
yes, i think it's awesome that everything in her fall collection is 50% off.
and no, i still cannot afford it. but instead of being completely out of my realm of shopping reality...
all of these gorgeous pieces are now only slightly beyond the reach of my nearly stretched to the max fantastic plastic.
and that hurts. it hurts!!! why wendy, whyyyyyyy???

riding that train.

heading upstate for a romantical weekend. hopefully, i'll actually be on the train before it takes off.
in my imagination, my trip will be a great, exotic adventure a la darjeeling limited.
(oh wes anderson, why must you torture me with your perfectly stylized, awesomely soundtracked version of a reality i will never know??)
but i'm pretty sure my amtrak car will look nothing like this. unfortch. have a lovely weekend!

darkness falls forever

my girl hannah is one crazy talented artist and if you're anywhere near l.a. this weekend you should stop by the opening of her solo show at gallery 554.

if you're not, you should creep through her web site, i guarantee you'll recognize the stouffer steez. it's gorgeous!
