summer crush

This past summer I had a major, I'll call it a crush, on a famous donut shop's iced coffee.  A medium Vanilla iced coffee with lots of cream and lots of sugar, to be exact.  This relationship with an iced beverage was getting out of hand.  Some might call it an addiction.  I had to go cold turkey. 

I just love these coffee cups.  They are too cute.  But they are just a painful reminder of my summer crush and I think I just might have to let them go.  I have been thinking about selling some of my vintage stash in my  etsy shop.  I have to start paring down, terrible as the thought may be.  But it's for my own good right?

The Messy Bed sells vintage?

So I get this email from my daughter, Rhiannon, that just has a link, no explanation, no hints as to what it is - very mysterious.  I click and am brought to Space 47.

I had heard that my daughter and her roommate Abby, from college, were talking about doing some kind of  long distance collaboration and documenting it somehow. Space 47 is it.

To see the first installment of this visual conversation between them is inspiring.  The desire to continue their collaborations beyond college, so creatively, makes me proud of them both.  The site is well designed, the art, thoughtful and so lovely to look at.

It is beautiful stuff.  And that's not just the mother in me talking.

Go on, go check it out.
