What a Dream
Photo by Tamar Schechner
I so rarely make personal purchases these days—a combo of ecological living and cheapskatednessa high joy-to-stuff ratio—but I just had to treat myself to one of Tamar Schechner’s beyond-gorgeous fairy-tale dreamcatchers, which she tells me makes use of fabric scraps and vintage buttons. I’m enormously pleased with myself to have gotten my hands on this, because I’m usually beaten to the punch by quicker fellow admirers—the same ones, I’m sure, who snapped up Alicia Paulson’s cagelets minutes after she put them up for sale. (Whoever you are, quit it, okay? Or I’ll be forced to hunt you down and cut you.)
Equally charming are Tamara’s paper flower pins, made from recycled magazines, catalogs, and other pretty papers she gets her hands on. For more eye candy, check out her exquisite blog.
Now to figure out a way to hang my dreamcatcher without a certain kitty noticing the plump, pink bird.
