bookhou at home

thanks everyone for your kind comments about our place - we try to fill it with things we love and try to keep it comfortable since it is a kid friendly home. we have a lot of books, I collect books not so much now since I spend so much time on the computer - which is a bit sad. when we travel we are always stuffing our suitcases full of books. I like the tactility of books. you can't get that with the computer. I also like the quietness of sitting down with a book. around 90% of our books are art related. every artist or designer I love, I have their book. john is the same way, making our collection of books (and vinyls) a good size.

the first few images are of new organic cotton flannel baby blankets. the smokebush design was a test to see how I like it printed - when we first sold these blankets, they were blank and was sold as a set with a little softie - they sold so quickly, because once you touch it you had to have it. I also like how this fabric gets even softer with washing. I am thinking of printing our animals on them. this fabric is so lovely. I fell in love with this fabric when I saw emily hamill use it for her baby blankets. these new blankets and much more will be available at the spring one of a kind show which is happening in three weeks.

I treated myself to some things from fog linen work such amazing quality - so worth it! this is one of my all time favourite stores. when I sent in my order - the owner yumiko sent an email saying she likes my work and I was in a giddy mood all day.
