Jonathan Adler's booth at the ICFF

I had an amazing time in New York these past few days. I was at Surtex, visited the Stationery show and spent hours at the ICFF.



Jonathan Adler's booth was the gem of the show, I just wanted to live there! Check out that room divider, I just love it! Most of the show is very stark and modern, but Jonathan adds a playfulness to everything he makes. It just makes you happy!

My new abstract fabric!

I have a new line with Moda, and it's all abstract! It's called Mod-Century and it should be available for purchase at the end of the summer. I so need a quilt made, any quilters out there?

Outdoors

I love spring and summer! Now that the weather has been nicer I have ditched my computer to be outside. I've been planting hostas here and there, and I'm working on a slate walkway on the side of the house. I want to show you more photo's, but nothing really looks that great yet. Thats the problem with plants, it take a few years for things to start looking great.

Off to get my hands dirty, have a good weekend!

Thrifty finds

I found this handmade wool blanket at a thrift store the other day. I don't ever buy blankets but this one was just screaming at me. Not sure what I'm going to do with it right now, I just like gazing at it from a far.

I also recently found a little group of mandala wire toys. I used to play with one when I was little and just recently thought to myself "Wow, these would look great as decoration!" Then last week I found three! If you have never seen one it's a toy that can be folded around to create different shapes and can even collapse into a flat ring.

Hobby Lobby review

I took my first trip to Hobby Lobby today, this store opened up in Manchester, NH last summer and I finally made it over to take a look around. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about it, some really bad and some really good. If you don't know about it, well, it's a craft store chain with a large selection of home decor items and your usual craft store stuff.

Ok see that yellow geometric sculpture above, I found that there for $15! I really like it, they even have a larger red and even bigger blue one that I must have! Overall the home decor items look way too cheap and have that made in China look. That sculpture was like a needle in a trashy hay stack. They did have some pretty glass domes for terrariums and I liked some of the smaller wrought iron hooks and wall decor.

Overall I guess I didn't like the store, but I'm a sucker for finding treasures. It had just enough interesting things to keep me coming back. Oh, and FYI don't forget to print out a %40 off coupon before you go!

Car Port

Not sure what the architect who built my home was thinking when he designed a carport for a home in NH. I can understand carports for homes out west, but in cold NH?

Back in 2009 we had an Avante garage door installed. I'm so glad I went with it, yes it was a bit more expensive than a traditional door, but this house isn't traditional.

The back of the garage has a doorway to the patio, but there is no door. We always wanted to do it outselves, but 3 years came and went and we never did anything. We really didn't know where to start, so we called in the professionals.

We got a local company to build a frame and install a simple flat door. I asked for a little window above the door to match the other doors in the house. Once the weather gets warmer I'm going to paint the frame gray and spray paint the door yellow to match the front door.
