Nos Da Throw/Blanket, via Horne

As the chill gets harder to break, I continue my blanket/throw search. I still haven't been able to make a commitment (quality v. price v. my-unwillingness-to-spend-over-$100-for-a-throw). I'ld rather not succumb to the usual suspects, but when it comes to price, it's hard to avoid. I'm keeping my eye out on these lovelies, maybe there is a sale in their future?

Hibernia Blanket, via Toast

These MacAusland blankets are really at the top of my list. They're quite a bit cheaper if you buy from them directly, as I learned from Katy Elliott's great blog. And nothing helps me make a decision like a testimonial.

There's D, in all his garden glory.

I bought this bakers twine from Divine Twine, in yellow, for Sun's Valentine's Day party favors. I was wondering how else I would use this large spool of left over twine. Well, of course, thanks to D who used it to tie up some homegrown oregano for drying, so cute!

It is a great example of the fine printing, coupled with dry humor for which Cheney was well known." View more shots at typesticke flickr page.

As one search takes me here and there and "ooh, what's that?", many wonderful things are discovered. I love wedding invitations, not really because of their sentimental value, but because it's a unique opportunity to brand something, on a mini scale. All of the amazing options: screen print, letterpress, binding, sewing, stamping, on and on. If you haven't checked out Studio On Fire, they have some super original invitations that are sure to inspire, or cause you to huff about wondering why you never thought of that. Here is an example and you can view more on their site or blog or my flickr. enjoy!
