{ Zoo Menagerie – Green Colorway } I love love love Eleanor Grosch. The Philadelphia-based illustrator is best known for her retro-modern, graphic animal illustrations.

I have been following Jenn Ski‘s work and blog for a long time now and knew it was only a matter of time before her designs were brought to cloth! Jenn is one of the three Lilla Rogers Studio designers that P&B Textiles recently licensed to create fabric lines. (Caroline Gavin’s Wild Thyme is already [...]
I spotted this playground print on someone’s blog today (please let me know in the comments if it’s you! Usually I can locate these things through the magic of Google Reader’s search function, but not today). This reproduction-looking print is so cute, but a closer look reveals several things make me cringe as a modern [...]
