The Animal Instincts of Barbara Keal

We love felt and were astonished at Barbara Keal's mastery of it when we stumbled across her website. Ms. Keal's sculptural, wearable art is beautifully crafted from natural, luxurious fibers and, our guess is, a warm sense of humor.

American Antiques

Sharon Platt, American Antiques of Portsmouth, NH is a website we frequently visit to find inspiration and information. Stocked with unusually intimate 18th and 19th century antiques, Platt's offerings offer a glimpse into the day to day life of early Americans. Not only are they interesting, but they are beautiful.

We love how the Scandinavian's use a blank white canvas to paint their homes with dashes and dabs of vibrant color and black...the home styling from the great Heyhome, the paintings from the wonderful Anne Tholstrup.
