Susan Connor is a self-taught textile designer who launched her namesake company in early 2014. Working in editions with limited availability, her pillows and blankets are individual pieces of art. Simple and bohemian in nature, her designs feature beautiful colors with delicate patterns. Personally, I would be happy to own any of her wares but below are a few favorites.

Have a good weekend everyone!

iron bracket shelving

I am always looking for subtle ways to spruce up our kitchen and my newest idea is to add in iron bracket shelving. It would be a nice touch to tie in our antique marble table that has a cast iron base plus it would add more storage and interest to our wall space. I am using the below images to persuade Jeff into the hanging process - he absolutely hates to hang things....
