Esto no se para
I share with y'all the fabric goodies I purchased back home in Puerto Rico. I resist the urge to photograph each fabric, I don't have quite the time. But they are all so fantastically beautiful.
I still often dream of owning my little boutique where a little corner will be dedicated to beautiful fabrics. I would pair Japanese cottons with silks with Lara Cameron's amazing silkscreened linens and canvas. Next to the fabrics, you'd find dainty vintage buttons, ribbons and lace. ooo lace.
I hope this dream comes true within the next ten years. How awesome! ^_^
Over the past few months I have been collecting wine corks from work. To be perfectly honest with y'all, I have absolutely no idea why I am doing so, but so far I have 318. My bartender jokes I am perhaps building a raft to go back home. har har. Anybody have a cool suggestion? I guess I collect them because I just love collecting things that might otherwise fill up space in a landfill. Maybe I'm just a pack rat (not to be confused with a rat pack. lol).
Today I stumbled upon muxtape, clicked one of the profiles in the main page and discovered a most beautiful, dreamy song, Mar el poder del mar by Facto Delafe from Spain. Had never heard of this singer, but I am so glad I did. The video is just... delightful.
...adoro sentirte...

beautiful fabrics, they would go really well with Lara's green and blue.
Hope you had a great time.

Hi Amy! Sorry it took so long to get back to you. We're in the midst of moving! We're moving to St. Simons (well Brunswick, technically, but St. Simons sounds so much better). I do work mostly on my own stuff, with the occassional craft show to supplement. But who knows after the move? I'm keeping my job at Stitch and commuting once a week for it. I'll post photos of the new place asap, and you're welcome to visit us anytime you want!
love, cadyn

Lovely textile goodies - and great photo of the lace and flowers. I love Lara's fabrics too. I met her for the first time last week and she GAVE some pieces to me. Generous, sweet girl!!

At the liquor shop I get my wine from, they nailed a million or so corks to one wall behind the register. It looks really really cool. I don't know how practical though. I'm sure they're too thick to be used as a peg board... maybe you could make a long narrow strip, hang it on a wall, and put large nails into it to hang things on! Having it on a corner would be really pretty with flowers hanging from it.
I made you a photoshop mock up (not to scale) in case I didn't make any sense. I won't let me post a picture though, so you'll just have to see it via this link.
Also, I've been waiting for you to come online so I could IM this to you, but you haven't yet, so here: Have you heard of www.spoonflower.com? If not, you should check it out!

I once saw a really cool looking wreath made out of wine corks. I wonder if you could stand them up tightly together and glue them to each other and make a cork "board"? They would also make really cool edging around something. Wish I had them!
