The Cat's Meow

Ah, I haven't done one of these posts in awhile. I think these will be once-a-month or so posts from here on out, so let's call these my picks for May! Oh yeah!

I love these new mixed media pieces by Cori Kindred, inspired by vintage rock collections! She hand-picked each stone and instead of labeling them with their scientific names, she chose words inspired by their shapes and colors. Beauties! A couple left in her shop or see them in person at the West Elm pop up shop this Saturday here in Portland

And speaking of crystals, uh...woah! From five and two

I think our ears need something sparkly too, like these great sparkle post earrings from Tiny Galaxies (via Jillian Frances' blog!)

Or let's just paint our whole body in glitter, inspired by this beautiful photo shoot in the new Papercut mag. They just celebrated their one year anniversary- congrats Papercut!

Also love these summery hobo bags by Della in gorgeous authentic West African textiles. The whole line is made by local seamstresses in Ghana and working with Della gives them steady income, education in micro-financing and training in entrueprenuership. Style for a good cause!

This watercolor whale makes me happy, but would be great for a kid's room too! From Brooklyn artist, My Zoetrope

And gotta love these adorable espadrilles from Spanish shop Gaimo. I haven't a clue the price but they're darn cute. Thanks lovely reader Michelle from El Salvador for the tip!

I would be happy with any of these colors from essie's latest polish collection

This is my dream chair beyond all dream chairs from Sit & Read, upholstered with a super soft vintage blanket! (via Will from Bright Bazaar)

And I love these assymetrical, funky combo beaded bracelets by The Dull Diamond

And this little scallop skirt by Floremark out of Sweden- it's organic cotton and oh so adorable in navy!

And last but not least, this cut paper work by Sara Burgess is pretty dang incredible. And look at what that is, way up in the sky there? A bee! ;)

Happy Thursday ya'll. The weekend is so close, I can taste it!

Oh my goodness, how do you find these wonderful things? Thank you so much for featuring MyZoetrope and Sara Burgess's work...both are so unique and lovely. I can just imagine suspending one of those beautiful intricate paper silhouettes over a window and letting sunlight come through...I can't wait until I can buy a piece from both ladies.

I really miss you posting daily, but now I think it's all that more exciting when I visit and see that there's a new one to read! I'm going to try to make some of those funky asymmetrical bracelets myself this weekend. Have a fun one!

LOVE the Tiny Galaxy earrings and bracelets from The Dull Diamond! And of course the mid century chair by Sit & Read.
