last week i got the most magical e-mail from a lovely gal named anthea, one of the makers behind spoonful. as she puts it, ‘spoonful is a short and inspiring little publication which, in light of our insanely busy lives, can be finished by the end of a train ride. it’s quick to consume, beautifully soft, & after reading will genuinely make you smile.’

inside their latest issue, they take a beautiful walk outside in the woods of germany with photographer toni weber, and invite readers to look up into the skies in our objects of affection section. from recipes & craft to happiness ponderings and spilt milk, it’s an issue to inspire and begin the new year with a batch of soul, & enrichment!

head on over to spoonful to discover this beautiful and magical world!

some of you may know, i have a sweet spot for farms. when i found juniper moon fiber farm (via gifted magazine) i was immediately drawn in- this is the farm of farms! not only do they have the most adorable animals (am i right?), but they offer so many wonderful opportunities!

you can join their yarn csa, shop their online store, browse all of their adorable knitting patterns, watch their lamb cam (come on, people- so cute!), even vacation there with a good ol’ farm stay. if you’re a fiber lover (and even if you’re not) i think you’ll enjoy perusing the pages of juniper moon farm, you might like it so much that you want to plan a visit!

last week, i got the most delightful e-mail from mark and zoe, affectionately known as mr. & mrs. YOKE, who illustrate and hand print on the bonnie banks of the river tay in scotland. i immediately loved their quirky illustrations and brightly colored prints. i think they give a breath of fresh air and big sense of FUN to the art of printmaking. check out their world here!
