My friend Andrew Neyer is so amazing. He seems to get more done in a short amount of time than anyone I know. He also does things very well. Among many other things, Andrew runs a wonderful gallery called YES in Cincinnati, Ohio. YES will be doing Holiday How-To's at Madewell next Wednesday, December 7th from 6-8PM. If you're in the area, you should check it out!

I liked this image I found when browsing Erika Olson's blog FOX AND OWL. Erika makes really amazing stuffed animals and she has a sweet vintage shop as well. In Baltimore we have dragon peddle boats but they are not nearly as nice as these swans.
I just discovered Scout Holiday, a wonderful blog on fashion and other great things. Here are some things I enjoyed...




I was also excited to find this post on Peter Shire. He makes wonderful ceramics. I bought one of his mugs during my last visit home.





Pretty things from La Casita Wendy.

I spent way too much time on Facebook this afternoon while the little one napped. I don't like when I do that, but I did come across this photograph of my friend Katherine Fahey in this wonderful bathroom.

Annika, Eleanor & the hat at ladies night.

Check out Annika's sweet watch bracelets at Holiday Heap this Saturday. We'll both be selling our new wares and we'd love to see you. We are booth #41, in the back room.

I would love a seat cushion by Renilde De Peuter. I share her work often as she makes such beautiful objects!

A few of my dolls are featured on this nice Pinterest board by Rezontova Olga, which is where I found these.


These are so beautiful. Tights by Tsumori Chisato via Erika's pinterest and Fairway Socks by Aubin & Wills.

Matt took this. I aspire to such good looking organization. Perhaps this is in a preschool?
