Can I tell you what is exciting me about Jan’s new market? The theme. She just launched the new Spring edition {celebrating Spring and everything hippity-hop} and so here’s to all of us feeling a little bit warmer soon {hopefully very soon}…
The Spring+ Easter Arts and Crafts Fair runs today through April 9, 2010.
When you look up in the sky, do the clouds look this cute?

I have said this so many times already and you know I’ll keep saying it. I mean, how can I ignore the fact that Janet and Stu never fail to stock Three Potato Four with the most amazing vintage finds. Each time I open my inbox and see the “shop update” email, I rush over to their site. I am always in love with and have a wish list in mind of what I’d like to have pop up on my front door. Here’s the most recent batch of finds currently at their shop…
And how I wish I had been able to grab this handsome guy {he’s been scooped up by someone lucky}…
It turned out to be another cold and rainy day here in the city. It was dark and dreary. Hell, I kind of liked it. Nothing wrong with that, right? Well, I certainly wouldn’t mind having these art pieces that have been turned in to wall stickers by the fabulous {and for sure a fave of mine} Blanca Gómez. If only the actual rain were as pretty and colorful…
Monsieur and Mademoiselle Under the Rain Wall Stickers: $111.00/ea
This has nothing to do with the rain, but is too wonderful not to post. I mean, don’t you ever feel like you’d like to just float away? Perhaps with the help of a giant red balloon…
Monsieur III Wall Sticker: $111.00
I bet you never had a scooter like this growing up…
I saw this Rocking Italian Scooter Deluxe {$2,000.00} by Théatron Italian Art the other morning on the Etsy and was blown away. Everything is handmade {and made to order} in Turin on this fiberglass with aluminum and steel detailed rocking-scooter and even has working lights and clacson. I wonder if I’m too big for this?
I stumbled upon Vancouver, BC-based independent studio Organelle Design and had to share this with you. Courtney Hunt and Alex Witko draw from architectural, interior and industrial design practices to create innovative products and home design. Check out the organically inspired furniture and lighting they craft from common recycled materials…
Hangelier 2.1: $300.00
Hangelier 1.2: $275.00
Loving these chair+benches projects, too…
Okay, okay. Just one more. I really do hate ironing, but this is great…
Shauna and Stephen are definitely one of the most creative couples around. And back in stock in the shop…

I am loving these Nature planters {$375.00} by husband and wife duo, Tram Pham and Dominic D’Andrea. These ceramic planters were created for growing a variety of herbs and flowers and shaped like a blossoming flower. Each piece is cast, hand-finished and glazed in Portland, Oregon via their company, Design Night.
Cruising around Sew Lola’s shop {pssst…there’s a sale going on} makes me smile…
