TinyDecor posted a wonderful list of 10 Modern AND eco-friendly fabric sources from etsy. I love it when people make it even easier to find the best goodies out there… and we’ll need more of these lists as the etsy world continues to grow!
Ellie asked below in a comment about how we arrived at painting our insets orange. The complex answer is provided above by Jonathan Adler and illustrated at the fabulous How About Orange.

I’m trying my best to adjust to a new theme and tweak the CSS to my liking…

I just saw this lovely instructable on how to make a one-string bag out of colorful tulle. It truly is the next-step past the reusable canvas tote bag, and it might just get me to purchase some more veggies? Nah… but I think I’ll make some anyway!

If you’ve been searching, like me, for the elusive $59.99 Sophia dress in the sale section, then you’re happy to see this note up on JCREW.com or in your inbox. I’ve personally sent 5 notes of complaint… mainly because I really needed a green/cranberry dress for this weekend and all [...]

Cows MUUUUUUUUUU.
Maybe Japanese cows sound differently? I giggled to myself at least. And next time I see a cow, I’ll “muuuu” at it [...]
I might invest in these Solemates. Allegedly they’ll let you walk on water in heels. Oh wait… no. I misread. They’ll let you walk on EVERYTHING but water in heels.
