Spotlight: Susie Cowie Embroidery

{Accidentally came across the exquisite work of freelance embroidery designer, Susie Cowie... I especially love how this artist has balanced the intricate technique of embroidery into lace-like designs, stunningly beautiful ...each are no doubt heirloom worthy...}

For more information about Susie visit This is Naive for a feature interview.  For those interested in the art of embroidery, Ms Cowie is offering a five-day workshop in June 2011 at Les Soeurs Anglaises in the south of France. 'Creative embroidery:  learning to observe'. How adventurous would it be to travel to the south of France to feed your passion?)  

Inspiration: {Hair Envy}

{Quite adore the cuteness of this photograph, but am really drawn to the hairstyle... why? Have always adored backcombed hair, flipped outwardly at the ends.}

Editorial: {Globe Trotter}

{Good Monday Morning, I hope your weekend was filled with sunlight, warmth and adventure. I for one did not get to experience as much leisurely past times as I had hoped, nor, unfortunately, was my weekend as glamourous as Hana Soukupova in this editorial... enjoy and have an exceptional week!}

I would also like to welcome new followers, yay! And on that note, have a truly lovely weekend!}
