Nothing is New Workshop

So many cool things in the Nothing is New Workshop!  Love this woven piece by Alex Segreti (Weird Friends) and Kelly Rakowski (Nothing is New).  I also really love this idea for a way to cover up a flowerpot that may be less than pretty…

Vintage Find: Carlsbad Caverns Diorama Souvenir

I found this today.  Unfortunately not in Carlsbad, but still… super rad.

Awesome right?! Don’t you feel like I just took you to Carlsbad?

Makelike: A Forest

You may remember my post about Makelike’s Cactus collection (which is still my favorite).  Well I just noticed that they have a forest collection as well which documents flora of the forest, including weird and wonderful fungi.  Love these dishtowels! Even more here including some lovely wallpaper.

Etsy Pick: Moroccan Beni-Ourain Rug

If I had $1,200 to casually spend on a rug, it’d be this one.   Then I’d force all of my visitors to remove their shoes before entering my domicile.

Weekend Finds

basket, bauer, pottery, ceramics, los angeles, the look see

Found this great basket at a garage sale this weekend for fifty cents, and the orange pot I picked up at the Bauer Pottery sale for a song as well. Hooray for factory seconds! The Bauer pot will soon be filled with a cactus or a succulent of some sort, and I’m still deciding what the basket should hold.  Until I decide, they can sit on my bookshelf and look pretty…

Equadorian art deco rug

This Equadorian rug from the Nazmiyal Collection on Weird Friends just blew my mind.

Vintage Finds: Crazy quilt pillow & Little Friend jacket

The pillow I’m keeping, but this amazing child’s coat by “Little Friend” is in my shop.  The tag in this coat is almost as rad as the coat itself.
