As the build out for my shop continues at a rapid speed, I am spending time researching and sourcing products, fixtures and displays. One of my latest finds is designer duct tape from Fortis Designs. It comes in a burberry type print, wood grain {my personal favorite}, paisley, spots and wicker.

Love it: Lisa Stickley London
I can't help but fall in love with a well coordinated table top collection. I came across designer Lisa Stickley at the Birmingham Trade show a few years back. Today her english country collection has grown to include mugs, plates, linens for the table, make up bags, totes, tea towels and throw pillows. You name it, her unique patterns are placed on all sorts of treasures. Lucky me!

Use me! Studio Patro tea towels.
I was very excited to hear that a friend of mine recently launched her small creative business Studio Patro. Christine Weber, former art director extraordinaire, based in San Francisco, has branched out to design and create high style tea towels. Chris turns everyday found objects and favorite things into amazing prints and patterns. You will find leaves, maps and topography in cool, hip color schemes. All tea towels are hand printed by local artisans. Perhaps the most inspiring part to this collection are Chris' 12 ways to use her tea towels. Her towels are worthy of framed art, they make a beautiful house warming gift, make a pillow, use as an apron, place mat or runner, fold for a large napkin, wash and dry salad, pot holder, bread basket, line a tea tray, use as one of a kind gift wrap, and of course, dry your dishes!
Congratulations Chris!

The write stuff
For a few years, I owned a little paper studio specializing in hand made, embelished greeting cards. Paper, beads, glitter, ribbon, and glue became daily staples. Years later, I still find myself drawn to the wonderful world of paper goods.
As I write my thank you notes for Christmas, and embark upon Valentine's day school projects for my kids, I stumbled upon Nice Packaging Shop. Here you will find DIY kits and projects, along with everything you will need to create them.
