Today is the final day to visit the @squaretreatsa Today is the final day to visit the @squaretreatsart show in Oakville. They’ll be there until 4pm for viewing grab, yourself a bite size piece of original art.
Sparkly Things in @westelmtoronto to get into the Sparkly Things in @westelmtoronto to get into the festive spirit. Product sourcing for a client so most of my photos are hang tags with QR codes but it’s also lovely to see all the pretty Christmas decorations. I always miss my @johnlewis Visual Merchandising work but especially when it comes to Christmas time.
There’s something so therapeutic about hand draw There’s something so therapeutic about hand drawing squiggles and then putting them into a seamless repeating design. I’ll just ignore the technical challenges of a computer that is limping along. This is the first design from a collection I’ll be building around the theme of Retro Cottage. You know, that wooden lakeside cabin that’s maybe been in the family since the 50s and has an assortment of bad taste furnishings that are now so retro that they’re cool again. Gaudy florals, mid century shapes and then a touch of 70s psychedelica
Spoonflower have just introduced some commercial g Spoonflower have just introduced some commercial grade vinyl wallpapers. It’s a great addition to their wallpaper assortment and perfect for residential or commercial applications where a more durable wipeable surface is required, mudrooms, laundry rooms, even kids bedrooms. I ordered a few samples of my designs to see the texture and weight of the new papers. Here I’ve put them together with a selection of different fabrics to create a coastal feel without being too contrived. In fact this new vinyl would be great in a coastal beach side cottage or short term rental that might get some heavier wear and tear. @spoonflower #vinylwallpaper #coastalliving #beachvibe #cottagedecor #cottagecore #airbnb #rentaldecor #rentaldecorating #patternplay #patterneverywhere
How appropriate is it that @funkypeachbags chose o How appropriate is it that @funkypeachbags chose one of my #pantonepeachfuzz designs to make into these awesome bags. Mockups are always great to visualize how designs can look on products but you just can't beat seeing fabrics made into real life products. #customfabrics #boldbagsforboldsouls #RetroChic #Funkyfashion #GroovyVibes #handmade #handbags #vintagestyle #giftforher
If your personal Christmas or Holiday vibe isn’t If your personal Christmas or Holiday vibe isn’t the typical red and green then this more subtle selection in soft blues and greens with creamy accents might be more your thing. I saw Santa sacks in a store yesterday so it got me thinking that’s a great way to create a more sustainable Christmas. As children our gifts from Santa (aka Father Christmas) were always in a pillowcase at the foot of our bed. Gift giving in reusable fabric sacks is the perfect alternative to store bought paper gift bags, especially if they’re made out of beautiful natural fabrics like cotton and linen. They would last for years. #christmasdecor #santasacks #christmastablelinens #christmasornament #christmasbauble #christmasgifts #christmastablescaping #customfabrics #patterneverywhere #patternplay #patterninyourhome #homemadeholidays #DIYholidayprojects #sustainablegifting #makeitindesign #naturalchristmascc
