Jewelry designer Michelle Meronek just launched her shop Gold Hearted on Etsy, and everything is beautiful! Go see for yourself, and be sure to stop by her blog as well.

Deborah, Sarah and Ron Powell work from a studio on the south coast of England, taking inspiration for their jewelry shop Rah and Rah from archaeological pieces. All their jewelry is made by hand, so each piece is unique.

I’ve come down with a cold and am completely backed up with work, to make things worse! I’m going to take this week to try to catch up (and get some rest, I hope), so I’ll see you back here again next Monday.

By the way, last week I switched servers and a few of you have noticed some glitches in the blog (like commenting problems, for one)! If you see something, please shoot me an email (mintdesignblog at gmail). It’s important to me that we get the site running just perfectly and it’s hard to catch everything (and it can be browser-dependent, too). Thanks for your help!

These beautiful photos were taken by Lucy Feagins for her blog The Design Files. You can see more photos and an interview with jeweler Katherine Bowman (whose home this is) right here.

Have a good week!

If you don’t know Italian art/design collective Studio Fludd, you should! Such great color inspiration, for starters… and I love Fludder Caterina Gabelli’s handmade business cards. Jewelry, cards, and more available in the Studio Fludd etsy shop.

You must know the feeling of finding something for the first time and feeling like you’ve been under a rock? That’s how I felt when I stumbled on Closet Visit last night. But, I hope like me you are also seeing it for the first time — if so you are in for a real treat!

Artist Jeana Sohn (blog/art) photographs stylish women in their homes, and there’s so much pattern and creativity that I could spend hours soaking it all in. (That’s Jeana’s painted egg above).
