jul, 11th - tea-cups....

day 515:

i've mentioned the brilliance of Skinny laMinx before {see day 157 and day 252}. when we were in Cape Town, i met Heather Moore aka Skinny laMinx at this market {see day 434} and bought one of her tea-towels.....

i'm not a huge buyer of tea-towels....i mean, i like a good tea-towel, i like it to be aesthetically pleasing and most important, i like it to be versatile (read: absorbant, heat resistant, stain resistant}....but i'm no tea-towel collector.....

but having snapped up one of Heather's and used it over the past couple of months....i had a moment the other day where i thought 'this is one fine tea-towel....really amazing quality' and now i wish that i had bought more. Heather does all her own designs and gets everything printed in South Africa. but you can buys her products globally via etsy. 

don't you love it when something has been made with care....AND works better than most of the other versions you've tried.

oct, 21st - just because....

day 252:


a just because pic today.


--------------------


Skinny LaMinx has done it again (see day 157). love. love. love these laser-cut gift tags.

snap them up in packs of 10, from her Etsy store.

jul, 19th - getting creative....

day 157:

i was feeling creative today. made a headband for Limi out of one of mine and a spare button that was hanging about in a drawer. i think that it makes her look a bit like a 17th century Dutch painting....or alternatively i'm misguided and she looks more like a washer woman.

--------------------------------------

love the prints by Heather Moore at Skinny laMinx...and her blog is also a must-read if you're into design, printmaking or creativity. she's based in Cape Town, South Africa, but sells her gorgeously-sludgy-coloured wares internationally, on Etsy. Take a look. I'm coveting this cushion with it's whimsical protea to remind me of home.
