Love Lula

Created for people of the world who love fashion, music, art, & make believe. Lula is gentle, whimsical and ethereal in tone, mixing high fashion to fall in love with and interviews that feel like late night chats with people you wish you knew.

If you don't have the extra $56.27 for a one year subscription, you may peruse through the virtual pages of Lula Magazine here. SHEER eye-candy.

And if that's not enough for you, there is the Lula Magazine Facebook group that includes more pictures than what's just on the website. Which I will have to resort to for now...

Sure, I'm a few days late. I've been putting off my first blog of the year for lack of knowing what to post...a Best of Year? Resolutions for 2009?

This blustery Iowa winter has kept me from being ultra productive in the re-vamped vintage home decor department, but I'll have loads of new items available as the snow gradually melts.

Until then, the Etsy Shop is OPEN with merch also available at Vitae Design Collective in downtown Des Moines.

I Turn My Camera On...

For those of you who've had to bear with my overzealous Twitter updates about my new Holga 120N, here it is!
