Friends at ink & peat can't get over how adorable these little guys are! It is a little stuffed mouse toy in a printed paper matchbox with its own little pillows, bedding, and blankie! We also have their larger siblings - the girl in a sweet red checked dress and the boy in a nautical striped sweater. So sweet!
I am loving the new soaps we have at ink & peat by Mor cosmetics. Mor is a line from Australia and these shea butter soaps are so creamy and luxurious. They also are long-lasting - we have had one in the shower for over 6 weeks now! We carry Indian pomelo, Italian blood orange, and cucumber and casaba. The gorgeous packaging draws you in but the quality is just as lovely! We also have these scents in a rich body butter - perfect for Mother's Day!
We saw this great show at Mississippi Studios here in Portland a few months ago and loved it! It was Ivan & Alyosha from Seattle. This all guy band has such a great sound - kinda pop, kinda Beatles, definitely alternative. I was so impressed by their live performance and I bought the CD. Hope you like them too - what have you been listening to lately?
Here are some pics of our floorset at ink & peat now about 2 weeks old. We are loving all the color and pattern - it makes us ready for Spring! "the new eclecticism: mix & match, old & new, boho chic. An eclectic mix of patterns and colors from many continents. A design sense based on individuality and a fearless use of color - bold, fresh, and optimistic".

You may remember our post about the show for Portland artist Lisa Onstad. Well I just wanted to show you how lovely her work is framed on our shop wall. We have enjoyed them so much. We sold quite a few at the opening but still have some left so do come see us while they last! Happy weekend everyone!
I got a blog comment from this lovely blog - Color Collective...have you seen it? She uses images of inspiration and develops color stories from them. Go take a look here. I can never get enough color - I am one of those people who has my own Benjamin Moore fandecks!
I love the mood and colors of these intricate illustrations by Portland, Oregon artist Aidan Koch.
