this is actually a bit fun. it’s like i am graffitti-ing on my own post. sometimes i do wish it was possible to pick up a computerized pen and scribble all over my work on the screen. and if i could, i would scribble quotes, and doodle all over some of my less-inspiring material. but look at this gorgeous white cotton paper that i heard screaming out my name today, awaiting precious words…
…It’s from Cotton Idea Studio found via one of Erika’s recent guest blog posts on Design*Sponge.
okay, maybe I am prepared to let go of this post now. i said maybe. well, let’s see how i feel by morning.
………………………………………………
second part of post:
update: I am heavily distracted today. I am suffering from l’angoisse de la page blanche. And worse still, I just realised that once I write a new post after this one, the My Heart Wanders: where it all began post will move to the second page, and I’m not sure I’m ready for that. I still find myself glancing over the images. And singing Jewel’s song outloud as I work.
So can’t I just keep updating this post instead of writing a new one? Will the blog police come after me?
Whatever. Here’s what’s on my mind: these cinnamon coated marshmallows that I just spotted over at Swiss Miss…
I suggest we build a little fire by the sea side tonight and make some smores with them. What say you?

back to the original post:
Today’s special My Heart Wanders sneak peek is from fashion designer Riley Salyards, a subtle heart made with the help of her baby boy. A newbie fellow Amsterdammer like myself, Riley is the co-founder of this fabulous label in North America. Go ahead, click away, you know you want to! Have a look at the collections as I know you will find some serious inspiration there like I have. Um, Riley, any chance I can have a little fitting sometime?!
And check out the curtain…
It was her grandmothers, isn’t it stunning. So this is it, only six apples left now…

keep it rollin’. i love the paper, but i’m afraid i would never write on it! i can’t tell you how many journals/notebooks i have that are empty inside – drat you ocd. i’m going to work on that “write” now.

thanks for the laugh cindy k! maybe i could let it roll for a whole week! but i’ve just learnt that it doesnt update on people’s rss feeds, so that might be annoying for readers.
Design For Mankind – me neither! But I hope y’all are patient, because although YOUR deadline for entries is coming up, the aftermath means a whole lot of work for me!! But it will be all worth it 🙂
Joanna, no YOU are sweet.
Lynne, no, YOU are gorgeous (hey I know you were talking about the post but let’s just go with this)
Sofia, I knew you’d love that curtain! Did you have a look at Riley’s garments? I think you’ll love them too!
Aran, oh Aran, pastry chef extraordinaire, whose recipes and photography make me drool all over this keyboard. Thanks for stopping by! px

Pia, beautiful post, that paper is to die for! I hope you get to scribble lots of joyful things in it. Unlike me who constantly doodles in her own hand.

PS: Why don’t you do a post on all of the submissions so far? I would love to see what everyone has come up with. Mine are not worthy but I know you have a lot of creative friends.

agreed, love the notes from ‘cotton idea’ but wouldn’t dare write on them (hmmm, what does this say about me?). and the ‘riley’ collection is fantastic, beautifully cozy photo — thanks for sharing. i found a heart this weekend on a visit to chicago (posted) and thought of you!
