Best of new blog discoveries

(Photo by Sandra Juto. i love owls!)

My blog interests have lately taken a drastic domestic turn, as I dream about my future house (very far away, but a fun distraction) & other design interests such as my new fascination with letterpress printing (a possible future hobby?) &, of course, Etsy.  The dangerous thing about discovering new blogs is that they sometimes point me towards beautiful prints that I end up … buying.  I actually adore the print medium, perhaps even more than painting or photography - which is convenient since they are often less expensive.  It doesn’t bother me that they are re-prints of a set - it is more about their texture, visual quality & materiality.  Also, as you may have noticed, I favour the ampersand today.

Anyway, here are some of my latest blog finds on the world wide web of wonderful:

  • Smosch - amazingly lovely, interesting & well juxtaposed photography that I could look at again & again.  Probably my most favourite find.  I also bought a print from her, called Rain.
  • the Sartorialist - Best street fashion blog I have seen yet - & makes me miss Europe.
  • Inchmark - I think the polka dot cake says it all, no?
  • Poppytalk - full of inspiration.
  • Emmas designblogg - Scandinavian home design finds.
  • grijs - photography, bits of poetry, etc.
