GIVEAWAY // caitlin wilson textiles (closed)

Caitlin Wilson pillow giveaway! | Inspired to Share

 

Happy Monday to you! How was your weekend? I’ve been feeling so busy lately, but I realized that I’m happiest when I’m busy…with lots going on and many plates spinning in the air. I guess the real trick is to enjoy the craziness and still make time for both rest and play…easy enough, right? ;)  Saturday involved some work, yoga, a trip to the plant store (always fun), and friends over for a Mexican dinner (more on that soon!). Then Sunday was spent at a slower pace…  some time in the kitchen, a brisk afternoon walk, and surprisingly a productive day of work!

To start the week, I’m so excited to host a giveaway! This giveaway is from the amazing Caitlin Wilson Textiles! Have you heard of her yet? Caitlin’s gorgeous home was featured on Design*Sponge last Fall. Not only that, but Caitlin is a phenomenal interior designer and textile designer. We have one of her pillows in our living room! You know I just love a bold pillow, and her designs are bright, fresh and just the right mix of modern and traditional. One lucky winner will receive the pillow cover of their choice!!

DREAM JOB // Harper Poe

Happy Friday! I’m happy to share a new DREAM JOB interview today. Enjoy!

I recently discovered Proud Mary Textiles and was amazed by the quality and story. “Proud Mary was started in 2008 when owner, Harper Poe returned from volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in South America. After falling deeply in love with the indigenous peoples and brightly colored textiles she decided to combine her passions into a sustainable design business promoting social change. By providing a global exploration of textiles, Proud Mary, supports and empowers global artisans and their families while celebrating their beautiful work!” (from Proud Mary’s website) …Isn’t that inspiring? read more »

freaking out about: hand embroidery

I just love that hand embroidery is coming back. Not that I was alive during it’s original fame, but because it’s pretty and I’d like to learn! : ) Here’s both some vintage & modern inspiration…

What do you think? Do you know how or want to learn? xo

 

P.S. Exciting news coming up this afternoon!

gingham

 

 

I’m loving all things gingham right now, especially this tote by Fabric & Handle.

Doesn’t gingham make you think of summer? Perhaps leisurely picnics in the sunshine?

I can hardly wait!
