Flights of Fancy

One of my favorite blogs is I Suwanee. It really is the only one remaining in my inbox and the only one I open on the regular (besides Alexandria Stylebook, of course). Jamie Meares has an incredible way with pattern, mixing suzanis, plaid, and animal print with a deft hand. And, she’s clever. Her writing is well done and her sense of humor is dry and witty. While we don’t have the same sense of style, I truly enjoy what she creates.  If you are looking for someone new to follow, look no further than I Suwanee. I tell you this because I’m going to steal one of her regular features, “Flings.”  This is when she shares some of the things she is currently loving, following, wearing, watching, reading, etc’ing. It’s a clever way to get a quick sneak peek into her style and find new resources. Since you subscribe to Stylebook and have received us so warmly, I thought you might be interested in some of the things that have caught my fancy as of late.  So, here are a few insights just for you…

Owner Amy Rutherford started Red Barn because she wanted to deliver a service — to provide both old and new in one place. No longer will busy shoppers be limited to reproductions or forced to shop multiple flea markets for the look or gifts they want. The trick in blending old and new, vintage and modern, classic and quirky, is balance. And Amy’s knack for mixing rustic antiques with urban chic has created a look that is both fresh and familiar.

Located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, Penny Post is an independent boutique specializing in custom stationery and wedding invitations. Inspired by the art of personal correspondence, the power of handwritten notes, and the smell of freshly printed stationery, we surround ourselves with quirky, hilarious, and classically beautiful things to make life a little brighter.
