First Time Here?

I was thrilled to tiny bits when Stylehive approached me to be a guest blogger. I spend a lot of time hiving independent design finds – but to included in the Stylehive bloggeratti, well isn’t that just “golden!” So to celebrate, I’ve got some gorgeous golden finds.

Now of course, these items aren’t solid gold….we are, after all, talking about independent designers, and in some cases it’s more of a hint of gold. For me, independent design is about creative flair and entrepreneurial spirit. It’s about work that is fabulously designed, beautifully crafted, but also concerned with environmental and social issues. Not in a lecturing way, but rather an “I know I don’t NEED another top, but its organic bamboo and I should really show my support of independent designers” kind of way.
