I recently stumbled across Paragraph Cove (etsy shop and brick & mortar in Wheeler, OR). Her handmade stationary reminds me of envelopes I used to make with my sister from torn magazine pages. The work at Paragraph Cove however is much more polished and thematic (check out the afghan throw series above). So beautiful and restrained.
Sometimes I think I've died and gone to heaven. This is one of those times.


The work at inaluxe is completely inspiring to me right now...colors & lines...simple things can be the most beautiful.



I'm intrigued. I always love to work the Rosie Thomas Christmas show at Town Hall. And now there's a film (also featuring Sufjan Stevens and Denison Witmer). It's playing at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center this Thursday (1/21). I wish I could go but I'm contractually and financially obligated to my yoga class.


new obsession thanks to Allison: Japanese masking tape.
There's yet another great photo slide show on Slate today: Let's Go Out to the Movies!
These wintery images are from Sandra Juto who I wrote about yesterday. They take my breath away and make me happier about the cold weather.
La Danse by Frederick Wiseman is playing at Northwest Film Forum until Dec. 16 (wait that's today!)
At the Brooklyn Flea's Gifted Market I came across the reclaimed sail bags and odds and ends made by Katherine Rasmussen of reiter8
I'm in love with these fruit and veggie bags from Seattle's Wonder Thunder. And equally in love with the product description:
Items at Yellow Owl Workshop are making me wish for warmer weather. For once I can't complain about the lack of sun in Seattle but it's COLD.

We made gingersnaps last night. And then we turned them into dulce de leche-gingersnap -sandwich-cookies!
