• Holy cow! This is what I have wanted for sooooooo long! Spoonflower is a new company that will print your own designs/photos/whatever on mercerized Kona cotton, with NO minimum purchase, at $18 a yard. It’s a wee bit pricey for cotton but considering the cost of Marimekko (swoon), you get exactly what you want! I am going to have to brainstorm a bit and make an order! (This Flickr set shows what others are doing with Spoonflower fabrics!)
•  White high gloss floors and this Swedish blog that they came from.

• Kate Bingaman-Burt draws what she buys. Interesting concept for a blog. She also sells a zine each month on etsy of all her purchases compiled. Wish I had thought of this.
• I’ve seen the couple’s mittens (Smittens… yeah), which really creep me out. Honestly, can you think of anything more emasculating than making your boyfriend share a hand-holding mitten with you? Blech! These are adorable though, if you have a small child. Seriously precious.

• I think this Colour In wallpaper would be a lot of fun in a half-bath, if you had a lot of guests… just take away the markers after everyone’s had a few drinks.

• Helen Mirren, I’ve always loved you. You’re smoking hot in a bikini at 63 and you have aged gracefully but, my dear, you are an enormous idot.
• Warmer winters are causing higher (than normal) lemming deaths in Norway.
• I love creative menus but honestly, the offerings at Moto in Chicago are grossing me out.
• Strep throat ruined my chances of being in a ridiculous line at H&M for the CDG unveiling. From what I’ve been reading from my deathbed, I don’t think much was missed – inexpensive filler and what I really want is out of my price range. Story of my life.
