I love all of the new stuff I'm seeing lately... brilliant summer collections, glimpses of upcoming autumn lines, a few new products (like this great collaboration that I wrote about earlier between Heath Ceramics and Dwell)... it's all so exciting! In many ways, it's what I live for -- if I didn't constantly have gorgeous new products to see and write about, life would be so dull for me because art and design is such a big part of who I am -- who you are -- who WE are, don't you think?

I can't imagine not having new seasons and collections to look forward to. It's not about being insatiable or even materialistic because I certainly do not purchase every new thing that I see. It's more about seeing people all around the world dreaming, thinking, applying their skills, creating something special... this gives me such energy! You too?

Take Heather Moore from Skinny laMinx for example... she's rad. Always thinking, always doing, consistently impressing her fans and finding newbies to convert. I've been watching her grow from the beginning and her line just gets better and better which gives me such a great feeling inside -- observing the creative process of others is food to me and no doubt to you too or else you wouldn't be reading a design blog like decor8!

Lovely new fabrics, cushions and things -- loving these colorways and patterns -- all available in her Etsy shop.
