I'm drooling, Jane. LOVE you collages. love them.
l.o.v.e this one! So many wonderful and storied companies here - alden, kleins tools, huntsman..beautiful. Michelle
I swear, each collage is better than the next!! I just LOVE them. And can I just say that the Klein bag has been on my covet list for awhile now - it's just too cool!!
I LOVE this one too - it's a particularly pleasing assortment in many ways - shapes, colors, content - very cheerful. But what about the Twombly book? One of my all time favorite artists!
Just curious- have you read "The Corrections"? I have not, but have heard very mixed reviews. Seems like a book that I'd find interesting.
Lots of different parts appeal in this post the Cy Twombly, the Easter rabbit, the flowers and the MAC lipstick. Happy Wednesday.
omg, i'm in LOVE with your blog! so glad i've found you!! xo
Jane, how do you do it?! Of course I love all of your collages, but when you put one together like this... those plaid ties, the green studs, the Rockwell and that canvas bag... my jaw just drops! And I love the utilitarian thing you've got going on - nothing quite like useful stuff, and you make it look so good. Enjoy the afternoon, and with your wedding coming up know that I'm wishing you the best!
Lovely inspiration board! The "Jotter" looks interesting. Makes for great decor.
This is wonderful, as usual! I was so excited to see features on your blog at Black Eiffel & Creature Comforts... Go Lox Papers!
The English-styles of Thom Browne I love. Simple, tailored and classic lines.
