I’m not quite sure how to classify Ashley Meaders other than quirky-talented-crafter-extraordinaire. (Seriously, check out her About.) She does amazing things with design and crafts at events that make me think she probably has my dream job. Total girl crush going on here.

I love a good collaboration that makes me want to drop this month’s mortgage like a hot potato. Enter Verabel and the lovely, the most talented Alyson Fox, and a collection of lockets that any girl would be happy to own a piece of.

+ Obsessing over the illustrated works of Erica il Cane.
+ Probably going to need some of Martha S.’s holiday paper tape since I’ve decided to go with kraft paper for wrapping gifts this Christmas.
+ Have you seen the new IKEA book?
+ Or the stop motion video behind the making of their cookbook, Homemade Is Best?
+ How about this typographic experiment video?
+ Loving these clean + minimal wallpapers for your iPhone.
+ Wishing I’d thought of this book idea first. I like biting.
+ If you’re feeling lazy this Thanksgiving, I have just the dish for you!
+ Does that not look like the most comfortable skirt ever??
+ Looking forward to making these Rainbow Fudge Pops next summer.
+ Mmmmm… mulled wine.

Ron van der Ende’s rocks are sick in the good way. They’re made from reclaimed timbers and salvaged wood and I could stare at them for hours on end. {via pinkshirtsandcarwrecks}

Posted In create, photographyMovember. The only time I, as a lady, wish I were capable of growing a ‘stache. The rules are simple, start November 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. Funds are raised for cancers that affect men, much like the commitment to raise money and run or walk for charity. In honor of my guy friends who have chosen to participate and those brave men fighting cancer, here’s my solute to the cause – a mustache solute, if you will with the occasional beard thrown in for Equal Facial Hair Rights. All handmade from Etsy. (PS: It’s not too late to register and start growing!)
