the best blogs...

One of my favourite things about the internet is the wealth of really great blogs. When done right blogs can be a great way to inspire people and showcase the work of emerging artists / crafters / designers / writers etc. I thought I would write my own post on a few of my absolute favourite blogs!

First up is Paper N Stitch.

Papernstitch is run by Brittni and Jeff, who describe the blog in their own words, "papernstitch is an online exhibition space that was created to promote talented artists, designers, and makers selling handmade goods. the exhibition space is curated monthly and showcases the best of the best on an international level. hence our tagline: hand-picked. handmade ..." I love that the idea behind this blog is a bit different, acting more as an exhibition space that the typical "blog" You can search for blogs and online shops using the drop down menu on the site, searching for things such as craft, or books and zines. I'ts very easy to use and full of delicious gems like the above image. Work from The English Pea.

Next up is that rather lovely, Decor8

Decor8 is run by Holly Becker, a freelance journalist and design consultant. Decor8 has been one of my favourite blogs for a long while! It's full of lovely artwork, design idea's, interior design tips and loads more. Hollys styling is so good - The blog is perfect for just staring at in wonderment. Mm. I like pretty things!

Another firm favourite is Creature Comforts.

I seem to love blog with damn good stylin'. I can't help it. Anything that looks good - I'm there. Creature Comforts is no exception. Creature Comforts is run by the very sweet, Ez. The blog is full to the brim with deliciousness that doesn't fail to inspire you. I even follow Creature Comforts on Flickr. Her pictures are just beautiful. It's like having a little glimpse into someones amazing, bright happy world. I love blogs! I love Creature Comforts. I've been known to spend an hour or two gazing. Yum.

Last but by no means least is Art & Ghosts.

The blog Art & Ghosts is run by Lou, and it is beautiful! I've admired Lou's artwork for a long time now, but only recently discovered her blog. I need to catch up on lost time! Her blog is packed with her gorgeous artwork and photographs. Her style is kind of naive and just generally full of LOVELY. Her use of subdued colours are really attractive. Check out her portfolio, here. Now!
