Have you heard of Joyfolie?  Joyfolie, was until recently a very small company offering unique and sometimes even one-of-a-kind girls' handmade footwear. The company has grown significantly, and you can now find their gorgeous shoes at some Anthropologie stores.

Take a peek at the loveliness...

                                                Smitten yet?

I adore Australian interior designer Anna Spiro's style. There is so much fearlessness in the way she approaches each of her rooms.

Think she might love COLOR?

And PATTERN?

At first glance her spaces seem a little insane, but then you realize just how magically it all somehow works.  

There is an unmistakeable joy to these rooms that makes them hard to resist.

I dare you to try to feel unhappy looking at this:

I am a huge fan of  her signature gallery walls composed over patterned wallpaper. SWOON.

               Hope you're having a great (short!) week!

My crush for all things Sarah Jane continues, and she does not disappoint with the launch of her newest collection of fabrics. Look how darling!

Um, yep.  I want a skirt for myself in this cute sailboat print.

It reminds me of this vintage Anthro dress:

And this skirt from last season:

Love the border at the hem of this one!  I can totally see this translating to a quirky and cute grown-up skirt.

I can think of about a million projects for these pretties!  You?

These fabrics are produced and distributed by Michael Miller Fabrics and are expected to be available August 1.   Yay!!!  I'm like a kid on Christmas morning. ;)

P.S.  I really enjoyed my little bloggy break.  I felt all kinds of creative, and I have a few projects to share in the coming weeks.

I have a HUGE crush on blogger and designer, Caitlin Wilson's design style. 

She's a big fan of pattern, just like me.

She's so talented at created gorgeous little vignettes like this one.

And I love how she uses bright pops of color in her spaces.

Oh, my.  That ottoman/table is oh so lovely.

She just launched her own line of textiles too. 

The fabrics are all positively stunning.

Everything works together so beautifully.

I want every single one of these pillows!

Nothing like starting the week with some eye candy ;)

Happy Monday!

I've been a fan of illustrator and designer, Sarah Jane, since discovering her etsy shop, full of darling art prints, a few years ago.  She's recently enjoyed phenomenal success, thanks to a new line of fabrics, and a children's book.  I'm pretty sure that I could spend a gazillion dollars on her art and fabrics. Here are a few of my faves.

This quartet of postcard prints hangs in Happy Jack's room.

She's recently added these sweet paper doll kits to her shop.

And embroidery patterns too.

And then there are the ridiculously adorable fabrics.

There are endless possibilties for cute projects with this collection of whimsical prints.

Oh, my.  A "just stay little" party inspired by her fabrics.  LOVE!
