X

Not long to go now, and this alphabet will be finished! What I love about doing this, is the fact that I get to discover things that I wouldn't normally be looking for... I love that I can't rely on press releases and 'the latest' and 'newest' blog land discoveries... I love that I have to delve deeper than that, and find things that not only suit the letter we are up to, but excite me and inspire me - I hope they do that for you too : )

Here we go....

Xenia Taler

I am not sure where I was introduced to the work of Xenia Taler (maybe Design*Sponge?), I LOVE her bold and fun designs.

From their Toronto studio Xenia and partner Steven Koblinsky design and make a gorgeous collection of tiles and boxes... have a look!

Xanadu2you

I am very much attracted to these beautiful enamel covered, copper wire baskets.. either woven or crocheted, the beautiful colours of the Xanadu2you collection just draw me in...

Have you seen them??

Little Red Fox

Catherine Garrison is the designer behind the Little Red Fox collection. Her range brings together a mix of prints, original works, collage and softies. I LOVE her "Peg leg Evie" doll! (pictured 1st below) Evie makes me smile : ) Catherine's "Born with Dancing Feet" series is also fantastic! (pictured 4th below) - have a look:

Feature!

The lovely Heather from Skinny LaMinx has a super shipping deal going on at her store...here's the low-down...

The Shipping News

Good news, shoppers! For the month of November, Heather has radically reduced shipping costs in her Etsy shop. This is all in the name of passing on savings that the crashing global economy has, oddly enough, sent her way. And there's still time to get Skinny laMinx Christmas presents, as Heather's postal service takes 10 - 14 days to get to the US, and to Europe it's even quicker. Go check it out!
