hello sunshine!

i think spring is finally on its way, and i know everyone can feel it. the sun has been shining for the last week, and its definitely brought some spirits up. i have been trying to soak it all in, so i have been avoiding the computer as much as possible. but I thought i would share a few things I have found. it seems that with the impending spring, designers and seamstresses have been busy, as many people have their spring line on the way. here's a list of things i'm looking forward to, or am drooling over:
virginia johnson's fresh looking fabrics and tunics
moop's bags
the slowly emerging built by wendy's spring line
lotta jansdotter's new book out in march (avaliable for pre-order)
and the new toms shoes designs.

get out into the sun!

ON THE TOP OF MY WISH LIST- moop bags

i happened upon moop bags this weekend when i was entering the trunkt.org giveaway ($500 gift certificate). trunkt itself deserves a post, but i will save that for later. basically, they are an online portfolio site that links to the sellers online stores. anyways back to moop bags- they look super sturdy and great- and not to mention handmade! check out their blog too- and their great picture of their workspace (pictured below). i can't wait to get my hands on one of their bags!
