ashley thomas wallpapers

loving these wallpapers cowboy jump (above) and buffalo mountain (below) by british designer, ashley thomas. a modern take on a retro design. ashley's work has a graphical, yet quirky style combining different elements such as geometric repeats, contemporoary illustration and photography. available at hidden art shop.

umbrellaheaven: umbrellas + parasols

the classic white umbrella

i *cannot* believe that someone knows how to actually hand-make an umbrella from scratch. yet another amazing etsy moment. i mean, i guess at some point in the past they were *all* made by hand... but really? a hand-made umbrella?? for only sixty-two dollars, including shipping from the UK?? (within the UK, it's listed for $35, which as we know these days converts to, what, five pounds? maybe less. ;)

the brothers umbrellaheaven also make parasols, satin brollies, and perhaps custom frills or trim to dress yours up. perfect for a scorching sunny june day as well!
