heart sleeves

Know Hope's strangely beautiful, lanky figures tell me of forlorn aliens searching for connection and meaning. I'd like to meet one on the street one day. See more here.

Love

I've been somewhat obsessed with the idea of love (in all forms) lately. To avoid triggering your gag reflex, I'll save the corny rhetorical questions for my own musings. But, here's something I found which, well, I love.

Please AGO, will you buy this for me? I'll take care of it, promise.

All pillows, all the time.

Vintage love

The vintage goddess was smiling on me this weekend. I don't think I can completely convey the high level of adorableness this jacket/dress combo emits. I can't wait to find a place to wear it once I source beautiful buttons for the bodice and shorten the hem just a tad. Before then, I'm excited to wear the jacket open, hanging off my shoulders with a simple white tank and jeans.

Pink escapes

Exploring the idea of unused, secret spaces. But, pink! I had to paint it pink. I was in a bit of a hurry and couldn't document the process...Next time, promise.

Visible/invisible

Another journal

I finished another fabric covered journal from reclaimed materials. I still haven't perfected how to bind the pages together, but it's functional at least.

Crooks, est 1982

Found in an Annex alley: interesting use of back parking lot space. I hope that this installation was created just because he/she felt like it.

Guerilla gardening

I spotted this on Queen Street West this weekend. What a brilliant idea! I hope I see more and more of these around the city. Incidentally, this ivy is the only type of plant I can keep alive in my apartment.
