Unexpected candy inspiration...

Any one remember the "Marathon" candy bar? I though about it the other day while I was looking through my kids Halloween candy. Okay you got me, I was doing more than looking, I was eating it. Anyway the "Marathon" bar was one of my favorites... Sadly it is no longer being produced by Mars. Yesterday I was designing a new pattern, and I was surprised to see that it was very much like the braided chocolate and caramel candy bar I loved so much as a kid! I love when inspiration comes from unexpected places.

Organic Bedroom, Part I

Today I was researching organic bedding. I had high hopes to find a lot of interesting modern, organic fabric patterns... What I found was a lot of plain and boring bedding. I also found a lot at West Elm and Pottery Barn (remember these are both owned by William Sonoma), but I wanted quality, plus I wanted to bring you something new that you may not of already seen. Well, I found it a little frustrating, but now I know of a new niche I can tackle ;) I would love to see more "Made in the USA" Organic Bedding!

I did come across a few companies that offer organic bedding which I found promising.
