"Need a little kick in the ass?" Yes, ladies of Orange Beautiful, as a matter of fact I do. These came right in the middle of my super busy, crazy hectic, overwhelming amount of things to to do week. Anyone else missing when summer meant lazy days?

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. . .and a nice long holiday for those in the US. Mine was spent with lots and lots of good food and good company, which is about all I need for a good time.

Catching up on my blogslines this morning. . .Jan over at poppytalk just started a great new series this month called Something Special, to coincide with Home Sweet Home, the housewares themed market at poppytalk handmade. The first feature showcases Shanna Murray and her "Spend some time with me" letterpress print and pillow are definitely something special.

An interesting post over at ChangeOrder:

The idea of Old Luxury (high fashion, high quality, high touch, high price) has fractured over the past ten years into a number of new and surprising categories that make it even harder to market a product as Old Luxury, but even easier to draw an audience into considering a purchase at a higher price point.

With the coming recession, there is going to be a shift from the New Luxury or "masstige" market into Eco and Indie Luxury.
