magpie fields: November 2012

IT'S THAT TIME...

Happy Friday friends! The month of December begins tomorrow and that means one thing. It's that time of year again, the time for all things holly, jolly, merry and bright!

So naturally, we wanted to join in on all of the fun and give a gift giveaway or two...or 12. That's right, 12 days of giveaways for all of our friends, and that means you m'dear!

Starting noon tomorrow, DEC. 1 through DEC. 12, keep wide eyes open here, there, and pretty much everywhere for ways to enter the giveaway of the day!

Merry Christmas from Magpie Fields!

Spreading the Love: STONE TEXTILE STUDIO

I was lucky enough to meet the talented designer + founder behind Stone Textile Studio, Elizabeth Mollen, last year at the Austin blogshop. Elizabeth recently celebrated the first year of her rapidly growing textile business by launching her second collection of original textile designs this past week!

Stone Textile's vintage inspired, modern designs are a perfect blend of textures and bold geometric patterns. I've given a set of these beautiful cloth napkins as a gift, and they were instantly adored!

Also, we want to give a big thank you to Elizabeth for having us as a part of the Stone Textile Look Book collaboration. We were honored!

That's right, those are our very own Saints Speckled Set. Aren't they fabulous in this setting? Love!!

Creative Crush: ALYSON FOX

I love living in a city filled with small business owners and creatives that encourage, inspire, and motivate one another - Austin and it's creatives are nothing short of amazing. I'm so grateful to be part of a creative group known as The Ruby - started by Chelsea of Go Forth, Ana of Grown-up Shoes, and Candice of Oh! FOX Vintage.

Last week you might have noticed, The Ruby put together a special evening event featuring Alyson Fox that was held at Kick Pleat. Alyson is a multi-talented artist that is on my creative crush list and I'm sure yours as well.

That evening, we all gathered in the trendy Kick Pleat boutique (check out that fabulous chair and rug), chatted with local creatives, made a fun take-away piece of jewelry with geometric beads, and listened intently at Alyson's story. Alyson blew me away with her warm nature, and honesty. Her work and spirit are reflective of one another - she was such an inspiration.

She has most recently collaborated with West Elm and has a unique line of products out for this Fall. If you haven't checked it out - you definitely should. This pillow is my favorite.
