A Little Peak

This picture is from the 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2010 show. I know the bag is supposed to be the focus, but I love the little peak of eyelet like lace trim from the bottom of the skirt. So incredible.

Aaah...

These photos from Amica Italy feel so soothing. I love the colors and her hair and the environment. More to see on fashionising.com

Some Tidbits...

My life in the last few years has been pretty topsy turvy. moving, having a baby, getting married, etc. One thing i have found to be a very stable and calming activity is knitting. I knit whenever I can. I especially love making jewelry. I'm getting ready to start trying to sell them, because I want to keep making them. Here's a couple pictures. They're a little abstract, but you get the idea. I have more that I'll try to post later.

Arrest Warrant

So I have the google analytics on my website (www.lynnsabin.net) and I've been mildly obsessed with it. It's not like my site is heavily visited. Anyway, you can see how people arrived at your site. Shows you what they googled and such. Well, I thought it was pretty funny when I noticed that someone found my site because they google "lynn sabin arrest warrent"
HA!

Finch's Holiday Time Boutique

If you're in Minnesota this weekend, you should go to this. I have a few pair of baby shoes and some necklaces I made in the sale. I'll post some pictures soon.

Lace In Translation

This past weekend I went to a really inspiring exhibit and demonstration at Philadelphia University called Lace in Translation. I watched master lacers create the most intricate bobbin lace. And then I went and saw the exhibit that was inspired by the Quaker Lace Company. The exhibit included 3 artists: Demakersvan, Tord Boontje, and Cal Lane.

Demakersvan created a beautiful chain link fence using lacing techniques.

Tord Boontje used lace making to inspired a couch and the use of natural materials such as grass.


Cal Lane welded a lace pattern into a 2000 gallon oil tank.

Pretty wonderful stuff. More info at: www.laceintranslation.com

Drive-bys

While we were in MN this past summer, I found myself driving a lot more than I was used to.
Especially country driving.

Countryside Antiques

In Cannon Falls, there's this amazing antique mall that Scott and I like to visit. The haphazard way things are put into cases makes the most incredible displays.

Sneak Peek

Here's a peek at my wedding dress I've been making. I took my Aunt's dress and took it apart to use the beautiful brocade. It's been very fun to work with my mom on this and I must admit my sewing skills have really improved. This dress is actually my party/reception dress. For the ceremony I'm wearing my grandmothers dress that was handmade by my great-grandmother. It's really amazing and quite fragile at this point.

A Pretty Mess

So my wedding day is only 13 days away. The house is filled with many small projects with little messes following me everywhere. This was one of the prettier ones. These will be small vellum flowers that go on the arch.

Ive been quite absent for the last month. We've been in Minnesota since the beginning of June, working and getting ready for the big day in September! I have lots to post.

Molly M

quite beautiful. here.

Stripes, Stripes, Stripes

Sunday's Best

I've been knitting and creating necklaces so I've been looking at as many necklaces as possible. These are some of my favorite. Created by Sunday's Best.

Corey Lynn Halter

I love Corey Lynn Halter's prints and colors. Her collections are always unique and interesting.

Its about that time

Its almost swimsuit time. I'm always looking, especially for a one piece especially after having a baby. I love this Marc by Marc Jacobs one.

Everytime

I see a flamingo, I let out a little shriek of disbelief. I just can never get over their color.... and the fact that they hang out on one foot.

Doo.ri Tights

I love these tights by Doo.ri

Shredded Tees

Amazing t-shirts by Urban Revisions. Check out her etsy store.

Longwood Gardens

I really like it.

I like this for so many reasons.

A very belated Halloween...
