JULY 17: WILD BERRY PICKING, HARRIMAN STATE PARK


Wild blackberries and red salmon berries gathered in Upstate New York, Harriman State Park. I never had salmon berries before. They are so delicious! Almost as good as or better than raspberries.

MANILLA MADE is a blog about all things ethical organized by Helen Cuthbert, a textile designer in UK. All things ethical are all things handmade, recycled, bright and colorful! I love this blog.
My favorite pieces on this blog are: vintage glass salt and pepper shakers, handmade shadow lanterns made out of recycled metal food cans, and soy teacup candles!!!

PORTRAIT PILLOW - SCANDINAVIAN GIRL
This pillow is made out of vintage cotton handkerchiefs. I found it on Etsy and it is by an artist and designer Flyingrhymes. Have you ever wondered why nobody uses colorful handkerchiefs anymore? When I was growing up in Russia there was no Kleenex. I don’t know whether it was better or worse.
