Northern Spark 2012






We did it! The Shiny Shadow Shanty made the magic happen.
We must have performed half a dozen full run-throughs of the play
from 9:30pm til 3:30am.. then we all rode home on our bikes and saw the sun rising.
Lovely night with lovely ladies. We also had a few puppet dance parties
break out of course, this was a good one...

♥ Marimekko ♥

Ahhhh... Marimekko. Everything you are speaks to my design heart.
♥ your bold, timeless, no apologies prints.
♥ your kids' clothing, wish I could sew.
♥ whatever this is, have them on a pillow.
 your awkwardly sexy pottery teacher dresses. ( I own the 3rd from the right.)
♥ that you stay modern.
