TREASURING HAS MOVED!
I've moved Treasuring over to my website, so you can now find it new and improved RIGHT HERE. Please update your readers and subscribe if you haven't already. Thanks!(You can get email updates from the new site, too, if that suits your fancy!)
the snow is officially coming down here in boulder this morning, and i'm having a craving to pull out the bin of yarn and start knitting some leg warmers. perhaps pink...? since i seem to be obsessed with the color these days. i was a non-pink kind of girl up until about 2 years ago, when all of a sudden everything started having to be pink. it's a mystery...
i want this adorable little ornament on my tree so badly, i can't even describe it. swedish graphic designer/illustrator/book binder cecelia levy made it- check out more of her work here.



this lovely jewelry is from a shop called modamuse in australia. the designers are from australia and new zealand, and there's some really wonderful stuff to be had. {felted necklace by dani m designs, vintage button bracelet by pinching pelargoniums, blue dot necklace by lara cameron)
(via karin's style blog)
the stack of books next to my desk is getting bigger and bigger..... the images in this one are absolutely GORGEOUS.


i can't resist a good necklace. which means i'm going to have to get my hands on one of these from small things... they're gorgeous!
i am loving these drawings by ashleyg. check out her shop and all her work here.
what a great book this is. i'm so inspired by decorative patterns, and this book is a wealth of ideas. my favorite is this peacock...




ok, so i've recently become enthralled with etsy. so much great stuff to check out and discover!!
these adorable little prints by emily martin of the black apple are just too cute to pass up. in a great frame, these would make a sweet little addition to a wall in need of some love. she also has a great blog going which you can check out right here.
i'm going to order some! one of these days i have to open my own etsy shop...



thanks to design*sponge and her amazing finds, i now know that this incredible potter exists in the world! ayumi is based in rosendale, ny, and i am drooling over her work... oh, to have that cookie jar in my house... check out her website and buy some of her fabulous wares right here.


i love finding new artists to admire. i came across jennifer davis' work tonight on the beholderwebsite, which is an online art gallery of emerging artists from across the nation. pretty darn cool stuff to check out! i just may submit my own work....
click here to check out jennifer's website.
sarah kinn is one of my very favorite artists here in boulder, and i acquired 3 of her amazing paintings over the weekend at the peekaboo handmade art & craft fair!! they're currently hanging proudly on the pink striped wallpaper in my bathroom.
see more of sarah's work right here.


the peekaboo handmade art & craft fair here in boulder is a success! great art, great crafts... hopefully this will become an annual (or even twice yearly!) thing.


being a newly addicted youtube fan, i thought i'd share this video that i learned about from my sister, who, um, LOVES shoes. Enjoy!

i AM smitten... but that's the name of the company, too! check out more from i'm smitten right here.
diana fayt out of san francisco has some really amazing work. check out here website here to see more... it's unfortunately out of my price range, but one day...
the first batch of monoprinted ornaments are done! this may become a yearly tradition... i've been having so much fun making these. i love opalescent glitter over white paint...
wow... so sad i missed this. dale chihuly, the country's leading glass artist, had a major exhibition at the new york botanical gardens that ended in october, and i would have loved to see it. if anyone saw it in person, send me a line to let me know how it was!
{i found this via love made visible}
i've always been intrigued by mobiles, and these are inspiring to say the least. thing tank has a new line of mobiles that are classy, interesting, and fun all at the same time. check out more here.

it's ornament madness in my studio this week. i have 100 resin-covered ornaments to finish, and i hope i can get it all done! i still have to attach the hanging strings and the jingle bells, too....

it's true, i broke down and watched the show tonight (3 episodes in a row on VH1!,) and i got sucked in. i thought i wouldn't, but i did. what is it about these reality shows that is so captivating? i've never been one to fall for it, but i couldn't resist this one. it was just like with project runway... man, i love that show, too. i'm in trouble...
i sent out my ornaments for the ornament swap yesterday and am waiting excitedly to get mine in the mail! what a great idea. these are a few of my faves from the ornament swap 2006 flickr group-- check em out! such creative people out there...
thanks again to kathleen of cake + pie and nicole of freshly{blended} for putting the swap together! great job ladies!
