it’s beginning to look a lot like home around here. after many weeks of purging and packing up 1,000 square feet to move it all about 10 blocks away, into about 600 square feet, we’re finally making some real progress. i like it here. a lot. it’s peaceful and quiet and though it’s tiny and old, i’m trying to make it into a modern cottage. i look forward to sharing more soon. in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek. oh, and many, many thanks to all the guest bloggers who stepped in the last two weeks to help me get moved!

i hope you all have a wonderful long holiday weekend — happy thanksgiving! and i’ll see you all back here on monday.

things are looking a lot like that 70’s show. from geometric to shaggy i think we’ve got a 70’s revival on our hands.

clockwise l to r: amazing modular wall shelving at Little Nuffield Cafe, via design*sponge; mixed yarns, burlap, mounted on wooden frame make up this wall hanging from cold picnic; a very 70’s living room from vogue living australia; and bolia’s updated tie-dye pillows.

nature’s calling. oh no, sorry, not that kind of nature…just the call of the wild! you see it everywhere these days, from sheepskins to antlers, to plaid and rustic wooly throws. today, i spy the girls guide to hunting & fishing (p.s. did you read that book? most entertaining!).

meet black sheep (white light), a Purveyor of Eco-Friendly Icelandic Sheepskins. i love the look of cozy sheepskins thrown over a chair, or warming up a chilly hardwood floor. black sheep (white light) carries black, white, even spotted sheepskin throws in their shop.

black sheep (white light) skins are ‘eco-friendly’ processed/tanned meeting strict EU guidelines, without using harmful chemicals such as chromium or bleach which are conventionally used; better for the environment and the end-user. black sheep (white light) is also donating $5 of proceeds from every item sold to the homeless of Toronto as the winter chill sets in.
