I love the weekend!

I finished the last of three pillows I have been thinking of making. I am very excited to see the 3 of them together

This one is such a charmer because the fabric is so interesting

We have some new cookware at our house. My husband brought home the green Copco paella and huge, huge Dru Holland casserole from estate sales yesterday, and I decided to keep them. They make such a lovely group in color and design details. I will have to sell off some Le Creuset or Scandi enamelware to make room, but I am really interested to cook with these.

I want a dog but my husband doesn’t, so sometimes he gives me gifts like these.

More pillows

I am very happy. My goal this last weekend was to make 3 pillows and I happily only made 2. But this is 2 more than I’ve been able to make in the last 4 months. This is the 2nd.

Now I have 2 of the 3 fabrics that represent my current obsessions. Farms and folk style and native american motifs. I find these really inspiring. And I have heaps of vintage fabric to work with.

Alessi. This tea kettle has a cloud influenced handle and its whistle sounds like a train. It’s rather delightful. Designed by Richard Sapper.

This handbag is one of my favorite things. It’s from the 1970s, I’m quite sure.

More books that kids no longer get but I totally get
