1. Lucy introduced me to Goldenink and I’m 100% enamored. Porcelain jewelry is lovely indeed.

4. Happy Febru-hairy!

6. Jewelry as art always excites me and Us, In Flux looks like a goodie. Kickstart it!

Contributor posts are up next, friends! And they are awesome.
p.s. I totally didn’t realize all of these links were fashion-y. More art next week – I promise!

4. A simple, though-provoking post about turning straw into gold.
5. My favorite thing in the world has a happy (beautiful) home online: chairs.

weekend mash-up.

With the gorgeous weather upon us, I’ll be gallivanting about this weekend. It’s the official season of thrifting for me, so I may hit up my local shoppes for a vintage tech tray, or perhaps a cool console to transform.

And just in case my allergies act up around all that dust, I’ve got Mrs Remedy by my side.

Also on my to do list? Finally check out Kate’s new book (congrats, dear!), as well as the latest issue of Popshot Magazine. While dining on salted fudge brownies. Preferably in this henley, with these pajama bottoms. And then, of course, I’m going to e-stalk all 200 artists that will be exhibiting at The Cheaper Show.

And then? Then I’m going to leave Husband love notes all over the house.

Good weekend, yes? What are your plans?

weekend mash-up.

This week was quite the doozy, yes? It’s rainy and dreary here, which is the perfect time to snuggle up to a few yummy links, right? Yes. I agree.

For starters, Google before you Tweet is funny, and sort of true, but eh. Don’t take Tweets too seriously and you’ll be fine. Although I suppose if you do Tweet something without fact-checking, you could wind up face down (yes, my new favorite blog of the week!) in a pile of shame.

Speaking of piles, I’d love to stack these totem pole cups with coffee and partake in an artful snack right about now (I wonder if the totem cup would fit in my new UBoard cupholders?). Or perhaps some toast would taste good. Under a tree. I bet that would make a fine installation for D. Billy’s site interventions.

Anyway, Design for Mankind is getting a new editorial calendar next week (just a nip/tuck… until April when the big reveal comes!). Similar to the nip/tuck of paper surgery actually, and nonetheless inspiring.

See you Monday!

weekend mash.

I feel like doing something a bit different here today, and since this is my blog, I’m gonna. How about I take you through a few of my favorite bookmarks that I’ve spotted over the week and simply haven’t had time to share with you?

Deal?

Good.

Well, I should probably start by saying I’m in a very feminine, floral mood today. It’s probably a response to the fact that glum isn’t so hip anymore, so we all might as well start thinking pretty.

You know what’s pretty AND floral? A picnic. A picnic, indeed, complete with spiraled hot dogs and perfectly-stacked sandwiches. At night. Perhaps even with fireworks. And, of course, cupcakes for dessert. Weather permitting, of course.

Would you like to meet me there? Here’s a map. And don’t forget admission!

Happy weekend.
