We often get inquiries for slips & under garments. I highly recommend these by Farr West. They're made in the USA by a fairly run company. The quality is amazing!

New I. Ronni Kappos has arrived....

Everyone has been waiting for the New Ashely Watson Bags & they're now here. The Finch is haunting me, as well as the mint Oriole Clutch & Hip Sacks. Her other new items are, adjustable belts, mens wallets and little card holders.

The Skin & Thread merino wool crews are back in stock. They flew out the door & we were lucky to get our hands on more. -beautiful Winter White was added to the mix. The grey color is still sold though. And since we have a ton they're 20% off for the next few days! These are seriously one of the best items in our shop. They're durable, soft, flattering, never pile & go with everything.

Hang on to your hats! We just listed the most amazing jewelry by Kathryn Bentley..... There's solid gold pieces, and then an upscale brass collection as well.

Local new designer Maureen Halligan. I have my eye on this piece.

Finished rug...
Thanks to Uniform Studio, I saw this video and now I'm ready for the next one. It shows a great way to attach scraps into longer strips. I'd like to get the width more uniform :)

I have to say it feels great turning all that waste into something useful & special. My pile of scraps is less daunting to me now.

Dreamy...

Inspired to do something with all my scraps, a rag rug could to be the perfect thing. The "loom" was made from scrap wood & nails as well.
Of course it won't be as "refined" as Sea Bags rugs :)

New in the shop, hand woven in Maine & made for recycled sails. They're even more gorgeous in person.

Kinda random post, but with green intentions. These are my favorite cooking pans, enamel cast iron. The best are french vintage ones, like this one on Etsy.

New in shop, Manimal Purse! -made from canvas & recycled scrap leather.

New in the shop..... this cashmere tunic is comfort on many levels. Love the soft earthy color too.

So very exciting. Check out the new Foam magazine! Thank you Rumaan & David. Sorry for such a tiny image :)

Just finished this book, Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Loved it; his books always expand my thoughts and stay with me a long time. Blink was also great.

New in the shop. ORGANIC by John Patrick knit cable tunic. One of my favorite fall pieces. It has pockets!

Meet our new model Marissa. She's wearing a lina rennell water weave scarf, and Skin & Threads black cowl sweater. Stay tuned; we're going to start listing more Fall 09 tomorrow.....

We wanted to share this adorable picture sent by one of our loyal and fabulous customers, Kirsten of San Francisco. She has the Plover organic tea towel displayed on her couch. Thank you Kirsten!

We loved getting this picture so much that we want to invite other customers to send in their images. -anything you purchased from Beklina that you want to share, you in your favorite dress, scarf, shoes, etc. Whatever catches your fancy is welcome.

The Prairie Underground Leggings are back in stock! -black & denim. They sell out fast...

Small fully contained living units have a soft spot in my heart. The independence, modern ideas and designs, and the ease to let us live in wilderness, like a pop-in on nature. This one is like a little space ship made for the poles. http://www.icewall.com.au/

One of my favorite shops is Purl Soho. Their blog has the greatest ideas and patterns, like the above Charley Harper needlepointing.

Back from Norway, it truly was filled with beautiful faces and inspirational style, like the following from Facehunter. -and wonderful fish! and oddly reminded me of California, in that green nature & sea was abound.

Came across this post today and just loved what they did with our scarves. via Commerce with a Conscience

Love affair with color.... (does everyone have a folder where they collect bits of color they love?)

And pink pink I love you!

Inspired by the Anthropolgy catalog..... makes me laugh; she's smiling, not crying.

Having fun and reshooting some great items from the sale section....

Rachel Comey sale has started....
