Over to the Elle Deco SA blog I've found lots of other nice things from the MoMA store's Japanese collection. Go check it out.
Susie Cooper surprise
Um, anyone noticed that I seem on a bit of a vintage ceramics virtual shopping binge? This one was a real surprise, because I thought I had Susie Cooper's style nailed down, but it seems I was mistaken. (found at UK Storeroom via Print&Pattern).
And there's more to see, but you'll have to zoot over to the Elle Decoration SA blog, where I followed Janne's hot lead and found some treasures...
Janne has some pretty nifty vintage ceramics of her own, so check them out her blog. She teamed up one of her new finds with a Mugs teatowels. It's a perfect match!
PS: Going contrary to everyones' urgings, I didn't bid on the Berso plates from yesterday. I rather piously decided that I quite like lusting after things I can't have. Once I have them, it's not really the same any more. I hope somebody else feels the same, and that this isn't some deeply annoying Calvinist quirk I've picked up somewhere.
Erm, Skinny laMinx is a finalist in the Design category of the 2008 SA Blog Awards! I've been thinking about it and I reckon it must be the photos of our kitty cats that gave me the edge, eh?
Anyway, now my blood is up and it's down to the wire, and I need your help. Click on the votey widgety thing in the sidebar and help me nail the other buggers.
And if you like my other blog better, you can vote for it too. Go team Skinny!
Tea and bears?
Frauke Stegmann is drinking tea today while she's guest blogging at the Elle Deco SA blog this week. It's getting interesting...
Kokeshi
I've done a little trendtjie post on kokeshis over at the Elle Decoration SA blog today. This one is by Matte Stephens.
Casamento
During my holidays, I took a visit to new shop in central Cape Town called Casamento, which is devoted to both mid-century style, and to providing an upmarket outlet for needlework.
Pop on over to the Elle Deco blog to check out my pics.
She's still Jesse from the blog...
Zoot on over to the Elle Decoration SA blog to see Jesse's terrific post on block printing!
Smokin'
Inspired by Design*Sponge's mini trends, I've started a new feature on the Elle Decoration SA blog today, which I'm calling trendjie. Check it out here.
Soon I'll have the Elle Deco team up to speed, and they'll be joining me in showing great finds, loads of South African design, as well as nice extras from the magazine, like the pics from shoots that simply couldn't be squeezed into the glossy pages.
