things I have my eye on lately

Emily Oster

I feel like I have been doing a lot of shopping lately. Not necessarily finding the things I am looking for...but coming across some beautifully handcrafted items as well as some great mass market retail deals.

Below is a random sampling of things I have had my eye on lately...

I love the colors of this hand stitched quilted pillow by EB Quilts. Working out of her Cincinnati studio, Elizabeth Bruemmer makes handmade quilts, pillows and wallhangings using naturally dyed and repurposed fabrics. Check out her website for more examples of her work. 

Not in the least bit handcrafted but still quite nice are these chairs from Pier 1. I haven't seen them in person but they are on clearance for $119.98/chair which is a steal for a nicely detailed, upholstered dining room chair.

Collin Garrity is a local Saint Louis woodworker making objects for the home, office and personal accessory. I just love a talented local find! His work is available for purchase and viewing on his website or on his Etsy shop

Another steal of a deal are these director chairs from World Market. I love directors chairs and the price is definitely right at $129.98 for 2! I might have to go and pick up a set (or two) for our porch....just have to decide whether to go with the white or the stripe.

Holli Zollinger is a Utah based artist and fabric designer. Her work is available at Spoonflower, Society 6Urban Outfitters and probably a quite a few other places. She has so many amazing patterns so make sure to check out her huge select on Spoonflower. Also don't miss her few cool art prints on Society 6 as well.

tree feature: arborvitae

Emily Oster

Happy April everyone! Its a beautiful day and looks to be a nice weekend so I have gardening on the mind yet again. Specifically, creating a privacy hedge in our front yard between us and our east side neighbors. We are pretty fortunate in that our house staggers from our neighbors, however, our living room window looks right at the side of their house. I don't really want to do a window covering as the room gets such good light so I am thinking of doing an evergreen hedge. 

At my parents house, they have some really nice hedges made up of a lot of arborvitaes. Arborvitaes (Thuga) are an evergreen tree with scale like leaves that grow tall, narrow and thick. There are several varieties that grow throughout North American with all of them being fast growers and liking full to part sun. I am thinking we would need 4 - 6 depending on their size...Off to my trusty local nursery for some expert advice!

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

artist feature: jorey hurley

Emily Oster

Jorey Hurley is a San Francisco based artist I discovered through Miss Moss. An artist, illustrator and author, Hurley draws "inspiration in the beauty of everyday life" (Hurley). Her work features lively colors making it great for kid rooms but also would add a fun and whimsical element to an adult space.

Her work is available on her Etsy shop and starts at just $45 for an 8" x 10"!
