PomPom, I love thee.

Time to get your knit on. These are the last of my beret-inspired PomPom toppers in this particular fiber and in these colors. I've been busy creating new designs and similar PomPom lovelies are on the way soon, but get these while you can! In my Etsy shop here and here.

Inspiration

august_15_2010_willow

Originally posted at my photo blog at mybluehouse.com, this is a photo that I took of a weeping willow in front of the castle at Blois. I am inspired by its graceful beauty and how walking under it made me feel calm and protected.

If I were a tree, I'd like to be a weeping willow.

Marie Linen Dress, perfect for any season


Marie Linen Dress, greenish-gray.
While in the midst of knitting up samples for my fall/winter collection, I've added to the shop a Marie Linen Dress in size M+, ready to ship. Timeless and seasonless, it's perfect for fall days. If you wanted a size other than M+, no worries. I'll be adding it my shop as a handmade to order listing late next month. In the meantime, the size M+ can found in my Etsy shop right here.

Like a Heart.

Blois, nestled in the Loire Valley, is one of my favorite places to spend my summer vacation. The history, architecture and art never fail to inspire me and everywhere I look I find something that I want to document with my camera. After my stays there I always return home with all creative batteries recharged and my inspiration workbook full of ideas. Indeed, one of the times that I visited was such a creative catalyst for me that I made the decision to apply to fashion school to study a degree program in both design and tailoring, and started that school year.

I took this photo while walking down a street near the apartment where we stay in Blois. For more, visit my photo blog at mybluehouse.com.

Poetic beauty.

Fact: While on my honeymoon I stood in line for over an hour at the Uffizi in Florence just to slap my eyes on Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus in person, because it really isn't the same if you just see it in a book.

Fall is right around the corner.


Gigi.
In my neck of the woods, that means lots of wind. And bad hair days. Gigi is good for those days. Or, if you just want to look cute. It really does look good on all heads.

It's now back in my Etsy shop, ready to ship, and you know what? This is the last one in stock.
