Bumble Belly Designs

This weekend at the Brookline Art Festival I came across some really awesome artists. One of my favorites was Bumble Belly Designs– who creates unique throw pillows and bags, and also a really interesting type of art called encaustic mixed media. I had never heard of it before but it looks something like this:
Super cool. My mom bought me a decorative hanging plaque of a sail boat on top of a map of Chatham. It’s lovely and is now hanging on my hallway door. Thanks, Mom!

Here are some of Bumble Belly Designs other products. They are really fun and would look great in a light and airy sunlit room. Very coastal. Very summer.



Perfect for toting a book and sunscreen to the beach!

So cute, right?

Really nice stuff. Hope you have a good Monday! xo

Coolidge Corner Arts Festival

SO EXCITING!
With over 70 artists it’s sure to be interesting and appealing. Bring your sunscreen and your wallet. And come hungry! The Brookline Food Festival is held at the same time (12-4) and the same place: LUCKY! Food tickets are $2 each– all proceeds going to the Brookline Food Pantry.
Participating vendors include:

The Mountain Label

You MUST download this month’s free desptop calendar from design*sponge. It’s awesome! The artist is Christopher Bettig, whose artwork is super cool and contemporary. Check out his website and blog and while you’re doing that head over to Design*Sponge to make this your wallpaper for the month. I absolutely love it– it’s so clean and bright. A fresh start to your Friday and just perfect for early summer.

How fabulously cozy is this little bungalow?
I’m in love with everything about this porch. The colors are so inviting and I just love the wooden side shingles, it gives it a bit of a rustic feel without being too “rustic”. The couch and arm chair are perfectly vintage and the two round tables are a unique touch. My favorite part to this room are the lamps (with their robin’s egg blue stems) and the curtains in my current favorite color: peachy salmon pink. I can just picture reading the latest bestseller snuggled up under a blanket listening to a little Mozart for Your Mind.
Pure serenity. *sigh*.
