mission

this is stolen from the website http://www.reformschoolrules.com/; from their 'about us' section. i found it to be extremely apt--in line with what my future mission statement might sound like.



"We definitely wanted to talk about how sustainable design is a huge focus for us, and that green living is important to us, not only in business but in our personal lives as well. We wanted to be eco-friendly without being too in-your-face about it. The last thing we wanted was to be another shop selling all things hemp & bamboo ( not that we don't love hemp & bamboo).


We really wanted to point out how much we love and respect all of the artists and crafters whose handmade wares fill us with inspiration. One of the greatest things about having a shop is being able to support these talented folks and all of their creativity."



just getting more focus...more direction...more inspiration.

dreaming in cocca

i just stumbled on the website for cocca, and i'm totally floored, envious, inspired and sad that i will probably never get to go there. i don't even know what city it's in because the site is in japanese. but these photos speak my language. my shop will undoubtedly be smaller and a bit more cluttered with this and that, but a girl can dream...can't she?
