Don’t these just look delicious?  I’m really craving strawberries right now.    I just love the contrast between the red fruit and the green stem.  yum!

Sleeper of a Bag

I saw this pillow case bag while browsing Martha Stewart dot com. Isn’t it the cutest? I’ve got to check out my local thrift stores to find some rocking vintage pillow cases and try this one out. My dearest husband bought me a sewing machine a few years back and I’m sad to admit the only thing I’ve sewn using that machine is some curtains.

Foto Fiction::Winter Berries

I found this photographer, Foto Fiction, while browsing the photography section at etsy.  I was drawn to the contrast of colors and soft backgrounds.

“My work is deliciously imperfect. My store name Foto Fiction is meant to imply that I do not always attempt to capture the world exactly as others may see it. The beauty of fiction is the ability to take artistic license and create what defies conventional traditions.”

SidQuilts::Posh Charmer Bag

I saw this bag while browsing etsy this morning. So cute and it’s reversible. I’m very boring with my bags, and usually carry around a black or brown purse. I love this bright and colorful bag. I like really that there are lots of pockets because, I’m always losing my keys and cell phone in the depths of my bag–which drives my husband bonkers.

For my 2nd post supporting my state’s local artists and designers, I wanted to feature Lily Lotus. I found them via the Hapa|Hale blog and immediately feel in love with the soft colors and lovely prints. They have a boutique in Kaimuki on 1127 12th avenue. Next time I’m in Honolulu, I’m definitely going to check them out.
