A textile artist tipped me off to this site, which I’m really glad to now have in my bookmarks. The shop is called Envelop and textile designers can upload their designs to provided templates for totes, pillows, aprons, oven gloves, and other cotton products. I’m thinking maybe I could even upload some of my patterns from my days as an illustrator! Anyway, I’ve already found a pillow I’ll be getting for someone in my family – and I’m sure you could find something unique for yourself or an artsy friend.
Here’s just a small sample of the things I like –
The two above are from Portuguese artist Ana Romero. Love the bright colors on that pillow!
See more of Ana’s products here (takes you to her page on the Envelop site)
I love this intricate pen work from Valentino Ramos – what you’re looking at above are place mats and a table runner.
I’m really impressed by the illustrations of Tamara Weiss – the design on this tote was originally for a tattoo!
I like the drawings- especially one on the pillow above, from artist Clinton Jacobs.
Pretty feather pattern – see Alice Rebecca Potter’s shop.
A lovely bird pattern from Thereza Rowe
…no words…
again, no words…
I really like this chair – which I think is from Anthropologie…but I just don’t know if I’d have the discipline to keep everything else in the room complementary
Liking the touches of glamour pared down with clean lines in this bedroom
Have you ever tried arranging your books by color like on this shelf?
All these images are so serene…

An indoor market in Syria. Syria looks amazing – might have to put it on my travel list. Has anyone been?

Great dining/kitchen area!
The above is an artist’s loft you can rent for getaways. 
Even with the exposed brick wall and factory-style windows, homey elements like the houseplants, pictures, and rug make the space more than liveable.
I’m not a fan of cowhide rugs or of bull fighting, but this bedroom is a good example of how loft dwellers can make an industrial space cozier- notice the room divider on the left
This is the area of the loft carved out to be office space.
love the windows!
The studio/work area of this tribeca loft
Like the ceramic collection. The metal light fixtures keep this kitchen from being too kitschy country.
Such a relaxing bedroom
What do you think of the photos displayed on the sides of the stairs?
These are two cute ideas – take the back of an old chair and turn it into a towel rack, or take a ladder and turn it into shelves. What do you think?
The natural light in this home is great – also the architectural details like the radiator cover and top window pane.
I’m a sucker for detail shots 🙂
The look of all those books in the bedroom is really nice – but I’d be afraid I’d stay up too late each night reading.
This little spot in the yard is wonderfully wabi sabi no?
Isn’t this the prettiest bag? (Bags are from the Carla Mancini sale)
…from the Victorialand sale
…from the Lucky Brand Lounge sale…
What do you think of the open backs of these upholstered dining chairs
I like the “living” room feel of this bathroom.
The traffic jams were caused by livestock
One of the most amazing parts of being on this mountain top valley was the chorus of cowbells you could hear all around you. The sheperd´s huts were really amazing as well!
Me just enjoying the view alongside a friendly local

This was my favorite view from a cliff on the back of the island.
Pontevedra was my favorite city in Spain this trip.
