Hi everyone.  I hope you all had a rad Christmas.

Check out this amazing knitwear line out of Minneapolis by Annie Larson.  It’s guaranteed to lift your mood if you have any lingering holiday blues.

Thanks to Old Chum for making me smile during a bad day/week/month.  Loving this photo.  The deer on top is the best dressed one in the photo, am I right? Sorry y’all, no indication of origin-  Tumblr blogs are like that.

Umm… guess what I’m going to be looking for at EVERY thrift store?
Check out this rad Flickr set devoted to this book.

These are details from a vest in the LACMA exhibit currently on view.  Apparently it is a favourite of John Galliano.  I can see why! Here is part of their interview with him.

Looking forward to seeing the exhibit soon.

“L’HABIT NE FAIT PAS LE MOINE” - “The habit does not make the monk”
“HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE” - “Shame upon him who thinks evil of it.”

It’s been such a long time since I looked at Ellie’s work.  There are many new pieces up on her site.  I’m especially obsessed with the fabric and wallpaper prints she’s been making- whimsical, beautiful, and sometimes flirting with the grotesque.  Her shop is fairly empty right now, but perhaps it’s soon to be filled.

Found last week at the Salvation Army.  Now hanging in my office!
