Chicago Renegade Craft Fair

Mom and I are doing the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago this weekend. Hope to see some of you there!

The Specks & Keepings Shoot

I just wanted to let you know that our new collection of Rebe and Feral Childe clothes and some other wonderful accessories will be a bit delayed in being featured in the shop. Our shoot, which was scheduled for this Sunday, got canceled because our model was ill. The slippers will be up for sale in the meantime, along with a few other goodies. So do check back often and thank you for your patience.

Upcoming Craft Shows...

Mom (designer of Rebe) and I will be selling our new wares in Chicago next weekend. If you are in the area, we do hope you will stop by. We love meeting each and every one of you. Come see us at...

Coming up...

I have been busy planning the next Specks & Keepings shoot, which was pushed back a week due to the Hurricane. The shoot is now scheduled for this Sunday and I can't wait! I have assembled a talented team of artists who will be helping out with the shoot, I expect it will be a wonderful day and an exciting collaboration. I spent last Saturday shooting product shots in house of some of the new goodies that will soon be featured in the shop. Check back soon to see what's new. Here is a taste of things to come...

Feature

This is a nice feature on Specks & Keepings even though I can't read it...

Very nice things

All sorts of lovely things in this shop, Couverture and The Garbstore. I especially like these socks by Mina Perhonen and this crochet rug.

Denim drawings and Kotoa

I hope you are having a nice week. I am trying to kick a cold. I was sick for the last Specks & Keepings shoot as well...hopefully I will be better for Saturday.



The Blue Path, denim works by Renilde De Peuter. Very beautiful!

Afghan and watch bracelets for Specks & Keepings by KOTOA. They are in the mail.

Annika's home

I love spending time making and visiting, in my friend Annika's home. It is filled with carefully and somewhat carelessly arranged goods and collected bits. It is one of my very favorite spaces and is always inspiring.

Hope you all have a relaxing Saturday...mine will be filled with organizing for the Specks & Keepings shoot next weekend.

messy maze

The internet is a messy maze of fantastic things to get lost in. This happened to me today.

Almost all images found via earth from space, an amazing blog. Third and fourth image via I like this blog. Also visit...here & here.

beautiful

Soft sculptures by Shelia Hicks found via New House Project and earth from space, both great blogs.

Some exploring

Matt and I take such nice walks. He and Eleanor are great explorers, I just tag along. We found this garden.

oh my model

I am a bit frantically looking for a model for the next Specks & Keepings shoot, which is scheduled for Saturday, August 27th. Any Baltimore ladies interested? The model we had lined up can't make it. If you could email me with photos and measurements at info@specksandkeepings.com, that would be wonderful. Here is a bit of styling inspiration...

Good morning Wednesday

Already half way through the week. Beautiful from Renilde's blog.

Wonderful ceramics by Takuro Kuwata.

I like these seat cushions from Mieke Willem's blog.
