Want to know one of the things I’ve been up to since I’ve been in Portland?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been working with Anna of @experimentalvintage and photographing this months curated vintage rug collection!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can we talk about a dream job?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hanging out in the beautiful space of @homebodyportland, taking photos of pretty old things, surrounded by plants and inspiring bad-ass women who run their own businesses?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yea. I’m in my element.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s such an honor to work for and with people I admire so wholeheartedly.

Slow Living | Mr. Draper

in ,

Today's post is brought to you by a new friend of mine over in Australia. 
Alistair of Mr. Draper makes the most lovely linen goods, and what's more, he is so passionate and enthusiastic about what he does, which makes his work all the more beautiful. 

He sent me one of his doona's, (for us American's that's the Australian name for a duvet cover) and I honestly don't know that I've ever loved a handmade piece for my home more than this ocean of blue goodness. 
(You can see early photos on Instagram here and here as well)

It's so soft and the color is incredibly rich and gorgeous. It transformed my bedroom into that calm, cool and inviting place I'd been dreaming of almost instantly. 
Not to mention I'm head over heels for his branding and packaging.
Alistair is such a kind and wonderful person to collaborate with and support and I hope that if you're in need of any linen you'll check out his shop! He also makes sheets, tea towels and pillow cases as well as other home accents. 
I'm also in love with his practice of repurposing your worn out linen.

"The core principal behind Mr. Draper's products is to not just buy and toss stuff every few years. Rather, make a considered purchase that will be with you for many years to come."
