Athena Says

You knew I could not stay away too long... please visit me at my new blog, Nectar & Light...

Holiday cards and postcards just arrived at Fieryeyed Photography - set of each set to choose from!

I was so excited to hear that some of my favorite bloggers have launched new retail sites this month.  Jessica of Shiny Squirrel, whose art/fashion blog is beyond inspiring, has opened a shop under the same name.  She has an incredible eye for art and fashion and has stocked her shop with some of the most moving artists of our generation - the selection of clothing - the dresses are particularly lust-worthy.  {art above by Olivia Jefferies and Nicole Poko available at Shiny Squirrel}

On the other side of the world, Louise and Gracia of Elsewhere and Hammer & Daisy have opened a new shop stocked full of their own delightful creations.  I can not get enough of their art books and pencil cases myself.  Equally exciting is new collaborative Zine called Have Wheels, Will Go - I LOVE this idea and have already submitted my photo - be sure to get yours in as all participants receive a free copy of the Zine!  Congrats Ladies - everything looks so beautiful!

As I am in the middle of redesigning and expanding my note card collections to feature higher-grade papers and printing techniques - and my recent membership of the LWA - I thought this feature in domino was especially timely and wonderful.

This is the coolest thing EVER.  Kathy, of scandalously delish 16 Sparrows has recently started the Letter Writers Alliance; an organization to promote the art of letter writing - yes - the kind with a stamp.  I am in love with this concept and have just joined - perks include 16 Sparrow designs available to members only and Pen Pal swaps!  And check this out {featured on the LWA blog!}  Join here!

... to the new Athena Says!  Same concept, full of wondrous finds that inspire my daily work and my everyday life - just a new location and a few tweaks here and there - enjoy!   All archived posts from the old site are still available for viewing at the link on the right.  {Gorgeous new bedding from Brocade Home}
