this was a student project from the new york school of visual arts. the brief was “can design touch someone’s heart?” and their answer was this the return of the lost sock package. i love the “11 things to do with one sock” list…

this past weekend saw me organising a surprise 30th birthday party with a nautical theme: the boating party. picture everyone kitted out in their finest ‘whites’, lazing under parasol umbrellas on the lawn, sipping lemonade and watching handmade wooden boats (made by yours truly) bobbing about on the pool surrounded by cheerful red & white bunting…
to set the nautical mood & let everyone take a little bit of the party home with them, i designed these jolly anchor brooches for each guest to wear upon arrival…
i still have a handful of them left and they will be on sale at the next i heart market if you’d like to set an “ahoy, sailor!” tone to your outfit!

i discovered this wonderful site a while back and would like to share its trinkets with you…
the mahna mahna factory is an online store of bits and bobs, catergorized by colour – it is wonderful to just browse through the rainbow of mismatched odd and ends…

i am desperate to get my paws on some of these remarkable chests of drawers. the higgledy-piggledy mix of styles, materials, handles & colours would suit my inner “old-world collector” just fine…
schubLaden (meaning ‘drawers’ in German) is a unique shop devoted to the reuse of old unmated drawers.
