Light and Time

lights and clocks

Welcome back Maquette friends! I hope you had a lovely holiday with family and friends and that you are having a splendid start to your new year. It’s going to be a great one, I can feel it. I wanted to do a post today about clocks and then I happened upon some fantastic lights so today’s post is about lighting and clocks that also light up your space (see the connection?). This is just the way my mind works. I set out on one trajectory and then another path beckons. Anyway, I hope you like these lights/clocks and that you have lots of time this year to shed light on your dreams.

Cozy Button Scarves. Stay warm, stay cool.

button scarves

Can you feel that chill in the air? It’s time for scarves. I’m partial to these button scarves. They’re chic and stylish while totally functional!!! It’s a miracle to find form and function all in one. I own this Mike & Chris one from a few years ago. I feel like I discovered them. I know that’s not true but let me feel clever for a nano second. Now they’re all over. I saw them in Vogue and Shopbop (here’s what their own site says about them). They’re a couple you know. Cute. Anyway the other two brands featured are made by hand. So if you took the handmade pledge this year you’re in luck! Stay warm.

Check out these awesome Wild Thing dolls. That story is still one of my favorite’s of all time. AdamX Maquette’s trusty advisor suggested the link.

Mike another frequent Maquette advisor pointed out this great article about the Etsy phenomena/ craft 2.0 movement here and here.

Also, I hope you noticed Maquette’s little face lift? New banner, new colors. I threw the original one together and never liked it too much. So now it’s revamped. I hope you like the new look! There’s also the new category “portfolio”. It’s a link to the temporary home of my illustrations till the site is done.
