I’m sure many of you are familiar with the work of Anna Bond and her company RIFLE Design, as well as her recently launched Rifle Paper Company, which she runs with her husband Nathan. Her whimiscal depictions of nature, business people, and bridal parties alike have taken the blogging world by storm and given a fresh look to event design and personal stationary.
Anna was kind enough to share a little about what she does in ...

I got to know Jess Constable when the blog world really exploded with excitement about her jewelry line, JessLC. When I started reading her blog, MakeunderMyLife, I was totally blog-crushing. Not only with her beautiful new apartment, cute boyfriend, fabulously successful business at the age of 25, or her gorgeous jewelry, but (yes, there’s more!) with her thoughtful intentions to live an uncluttered, valuable, and helpful life. One of my favorite features of her blog ...

Last spring when I took Holly Becker’s Blogging Your Way e-course (which, by the way, I totally recommend), I was lucky enough to “meet” some fabulous bloggers that I might not have come across otherwise. Michelle Ward is one of them, as our blogging genres don’t exactly cross-over. But her blog When I Grow Up Coach is a daily source of inspiration for me. Michelle is a life coach who helps creative folk navigate their ...

I first “met” Christina when I noticed she’d left a few sweet comments here on Magchunk. I clicked over to her blog, Down and Out Chic, and was immediately smitten. Christina definitely has her own style and fun writing voice and I always love seeing what she’s posting about each day. You could get stationary, fashion, puppies, or Elle Decor! She just opened up an etsy shop with darling jewelry and accessories (my fave are ...

When I first discovered the blog Inchmark I felt incredibly inadequate (in the way only a truly amazing blog can). Then I found out author Brooke used to work for Martha Stewart and didn’t feel so bad anymore for my lacking craftiness! Inchmark is stuffed to the brim with inspiration and projects, and her love for her children and husband nearly oozes out of it. It’s a great happy place to spend a quiet afternoon on the ...

Wouldn’t you know it, the same day I posted about Sublime Stitching, I got an email from one of their staffers in response to my request for a Q&A with founder Jenny Hart (that should show you how impatient I am…). Jenny was on the road, but agreed to answer some questions via email. In another twist of fate, Jenny was on her way to Seattle, where she was signing books at the Urban Craft ...

If you haven’t been to the hottest new blog on the block, well, you’re in for a treat. Dress, Design, and Decor is full of lush images arranged in new and inspiring combinations. Author Daniella is the kind of blogger who puts a watermelon, a kangaroo, and a shirt all in one post and leaves you nodding and wondering “how did that all just go together perfectly?” Check her out the next time you’re in ...

Last week I stumbled upon quite a treat: artist Kate Gabrielle and her three very distinct etsy shops. I immediately fell in love with flapperdoodle, her collection of sketches of two lovely ladies (and a few friends) from the twenties who love to eat ice cream, dance the Charleston, and play hopscotch. I emailed Kate and crossed my fingers, and lo and behold, she agreed to answer some of my nosy questions! I hope you ...

Hello birthday partiers (yes, that’s you!). Today I have a very special treat for you: an interview with the lovely and talented Chelsea from Frolic! If you don’t already know about this adorable and inspiring blog, well, you’re welcome. Chelsea is another Northwest girl, calling Portland home. Besides scrounging up inspiring photos and events on the web, she also shares her own styling work, some of which I’ve shown below. But be sure to add ...
