On Tuesday Leo and I saw this show. It was an amazing display of quilts. The presentation and range of designs made it totally worth the trip. Unfortunately it was only up for a few days. Leo also seemed to really like it since he likes to look up at graphic things and lights. If you can believe one woman collected all these!

Liberty's at Target!
I went to the Target Liberty pop up store yesterday. The space was pretty amazing, if you are in NYC I recommend checking it out! The items looked great but many of the shelves were already pretty bare. Hopefully they will be restocking since it's going on until Sunday. The details are here. The stores are supposed to have the items on March 14. Overall I was pretty impressed with everything!
I got Ben a Liberty tie he wore this morning, not bad for $17.99...

Happy New Year!
I'm happy to be back after a very nice and relaxing time off. While in Michigan for the holidays we stopped at one of my favorite places, the Polish Art Center in Hamtramck. I got these stars and garlands for our tree for next year. I love how graphic they all look together. I've got lots of new projects in mind for 2010 so hopefully you'll check back here often in the new year!

Happy 4th of July (and fireworks)!
I have been visiting my hometown of Kansas City to celebrate the fourth of July. Today we went fireworks shopping which is a tradititon here. I love all the graphics on the packaging. Tomorrow we will go to my brother's who hosts a big celebration. Hope everyone is relaxing and enjoying the holiday weekend!

NJ antiquing and camping
This past weekend we took a quick road trip to New Jersey and Pennsylvania to go antiquing and camping. The camping was fun but it rained most of the evening and during the night we had a big thunderstorm. I, being a totally novice camper, was scared but Ben slept through the whole thing! It was fun to cook dinner over the fire, which held up despite the intermittent rain. We camped at Bull's Island Recreation Area, a NJ state park. Now if we only had a place other than the bathtub to dry off our muddy wet tent!
The definite highlight of antiquing was Fritz's booth at the Tomato Factory. Fritz is collecting editor at Martha Stewart Living so I was dying to see his wares. He works on Sundays too so it was great to see him. I highly recommend visiting. Even just to see the way he organizes and displays everything. A little while back his office was shot for an issue of Living, I love the ordered chaos.
Here is a google map of the antique stores, coops and flea markets I recommend from this trip. Also each of these towns has other little shops that can also be great.
Because of the rain everything was very lush and green.
and Fritz's shop...Aren't the colors inspiring?
