Friday's Fabulous Woman: Nani Marquina

For 20 years, Barcelona-based Nani Marquina has been designing beautiful rugs.  She has a great eye for texture and color.  I particularly love the depth she creates with felt cutouts woven into carpets of fallen petals and leaves.  While modern in style, her work is timeless -- I think it would look magical with an old farmhouse table or an antique desk.

Three Days Left

It's been a crazy busy week thanks to everyone who has been shopping online and in our store.  Thank you all! I am particularly thrilled to be totally caught up on all the shipping this evening:) Three more days of sale left and then the fun really starts as we change things up and adds lots of new goodies to both the online and bricks n mortar stores.

Store Display

One of the things that I thoroughly enjoy about my job is store display and merchandising.  I still have a lot to learn and so pictures of stores are both an inspiration and an education for me.  The pictures below come from lanalou style, a wonderful Cape Town style blog by Lana that features lots of stores in the area.  Aside from making me yearn to visit, I love the creativity and beauty of the photos Lana takes.

Soap Sculpture

I am a long time admire of the beautiful soap sculpture in the Tropfnass Kollektion. Love the translucent color in the heads in the first pic below. This is definitely soap for display rather than use.

African Signs

I thought laughter would be a great way to start the week.  My mother forwarded an email with these great African signs yesterday.  Enjoy!
