Drawing inspiration from the concept of the artist’s studio, Stewart and Brown’s Spring 2010 collection is a treat. I love the soft and feminine look of their new pieces, and I was happy to see another strong line from this eco-friendly fashion duo.

I came across the clock picture on the left on flickr, and it made me think about time and how slowly the last month has gone by – I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing! The clock on the right is from the Callaghan Art Gallery on Etsy.

How lovely is the Spring 2010 collection from Vancouver line Lav & Kush? Their collection is not only designed and manufactured in Vancouver but whenever possible they use sustainable and eco-friendly fabrics, making it a winner in my book. It’s not yet stocked in their online shop, so we can consider this a sneak peek until everything is available. You can see the whole collection here.

Being green. Because I agree with Kermit, I am always impressed with the Etsy shops I find whose owners have a strong commitment to keeping it green.

Got a bit lost on flickr today – but when I came across the flickr stream of Lissy Elle here the time spent felt well worth it. Had about every possible emotion (don’t say I didn’t warn you!) as I looked through the stream. These 3 shots were my favorites.

…gives you lemons – what to do? Sometimes it’s those minor annoyances that can throw a day off. For me, today it was just getting sidetracked from my to-do list by a few things. Not that this doesn’t happen from time to time, but today it irked me more than usual! Just reminded me though of this tried and true phrase – which is a good thing I think.
Generally you may find me posting a bit less frequently over the next couple of weeks as I have some poster designs that I really want to concentrate on for my Etsy shop. Ideas sometimes come to me in pieces – and for poster designs I’m not at the point where I can control their frequency by any means. So this morning when I envisioned three finished posters pretty much out of nowhere I knew it was time to get to work on them. They’re pretty detailed so who’s to say how long they’ll take to complete!

I always love receiving emails from Vancouverites who have Etsy shops – but I was especially excited last week when I heard from Kyla of Kove. She’s got a brand new Etsy shop featuring handmade crochet and knit accessories – with cowls, infinity scarves and more. I know what you might be thinking, have you seen the sunshine lately? But you know like I do it’s only a matter of time before it’s rainy and cold and you’ll be happy to have one of these to grab as you head out the door! No doubt we’ll be seeing lots of Kyla and Kove in the months to come – you can visit her Etsy shop here.

I’d love it if you join me for a bit of window shopping today! I’ve been considering what color palette we should use to decorate our kitchen (open floor plan) and living room, which are adjacent to each other. I know a lot of us don’t really have final say in the decorating – we’ve got either boyfriends or husbands who’d like their voice to be heard. So my thoughts right now are bright colors… Fun, poppy, see if some humour can be thrown in here and there…
