I stumbled on Laura Walker over at Flickr, intrigued by her buttons. She sells them on Esty! Now…What Would a Button Girl Do? (WWBGD?)

You have to check out her collection. Her website is an indication of how special her buttons and other pieces are. Quite inspiring…makes me want to make a dress or sweater around one of these. Her blog is Button Bashing…and you can take a peek at her studio.

I don’t know what it is , but I’ve been dreaming about aqua and red lately, and lucky me had a bit in my stash to make Iz this skirt. She loves it. I love it. I think the next skirt I make will use twice as much tulle. I pictured it differently, more full or intense.


But this red and aqua thing has been on my mind for a while – you can tell from my Flickr favorites (click on the photo to go to Flickr and learn more about each photo).
I’ve got a few gifty things coming up and for the longest time I was struggling with color ideas, but I think aqua and red are really fresh and could be fun for little ones I’m thinking of.

I found ColourLovers (via MOO), and I just can’t stop it! There are so many great features, cool ways to find palettes, amazing colors to explore. This palette came from this photo of Iz:

Doesn’t this just want to make you lick a berry pop?
Some of my other favorite palettes (today that is…):




I was checking MOO today, I need to order more of my business cards and WOAH! Did you see these sticker books? If you order in July – it’s all free shipping. I’ll be uploading more photos to my Flickr and grab a book or two.
