I heart Pablo

I'm feeling a deep need to start my week off right by reconnecting to my own creative roots. A heartfelt nod is long overdue to one of my earliest heroes. I've been in awe of this man's genius since I seriously took pencil to sketchpad. There's little I can say that hasn't been said. So I won't. I heart Francoise too, I fell in love with her when years ago I read her book, Life with Picasso.


See what I mean? My heart flutters when he leaves a glimpse of what lies below (lower right corner).


I couldn't resist. I wish you all an inspired and joyful week!

The peas get a chance


Woo hoo, I was on the Front Page and in an Etsy Treasury (thanks RuJu) yesterday!

Hello, Hello Bluebird!



Tonight I'm off with fellow Z-Town Made girls to the Grand Opening of Alex McCarty's gorgeous new shop in West Reading, Hello Bluebird. The pictures above (borrowed from Jan Dicintio's Daisy Janie blog) tell the story. As Jan is a friend of Alex's and "in the know" I recommend visiting her post here.

Melanie Linder's prints look fabulous against that red wall (top shelf under the stairs). You'll find other handmade items from fellow Z-Towners among Alex's lovely collection.

A peak inside...




Here are some photos of Modern Printed Matter's beautiful new studio and store taken before the grand reopening last night. I wish I could have been there myself but these photos, by owner and designer, Anna Cote will do very well in the meantime. It's lovely for me to see my linens in a shop setting. If you are in Rhode Island stop in, it looks well worth the visit! You can see Anna's own post here and more photos here.
