"But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn't know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there's anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman... S-T-A-U-N-C-H. There's nothing worse, I'm telling you. They don't weaken, no matter what." — Edith "Little Edie" Beale

This week's edition of News From the Craft + Style Blogosphere has spacey dyed clothing, illuminating evidence on what folks hold dear, photobooth kookiness and drool-worthy interiors.

Read on!

Mociun is, hands down, one of my favorite up-and-coming designers: the dye techniques, the Navajo prints, the spacey prints and flattering silhouettes are very of the moment. I love the vibe of their fall line, as well as the images by Kara Healey. [Via Slow Progress]

You can tell so much about a person by what they deem important enough to carry. Francois Robert's photographs speak to this notion, showing how much (or little) individuals need to exist. I love the inclusion of the hands. [Via SeeSaw Daily Inspiration]

UK photographer Lucinda Symons has an eye for interiors. These photos make my urge to decorate short circuit. [Via Desire to Inspire]

The photobooth portrait is an indomitable medium that opened up photography to the masses. Within the confines of little more than a curtain enclosed closet, you can be anything your heart desires: the vamp, the weirdo, the mysterious one.

Oh, Etsy, this is not helping me get any work done... and it's not helping me to curb my urge to collect EVERY old B&W crinkled (or pristine!) photo that I find. I'm hooked! And totally inspired to do a little organization around here, too ;P

Oct. 29, 2009 at 4:37 p.m. SmallEarthVintage

Anything that starts out with Edie's S-T-A-U-N-C-H is okay by me. :) I want to re-do our living room with raw floorboards and autumn leaves now.

Fantastic photos!!

Oct. 29, 2009 at 7:29 p.m. mazedasastoat

Love the interiors & the photos of what people carry with them... but for me you'd need the whole floor not just a tabletop! :-D

Oct. 29, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. mazedasastoat

And THANK YOU Etsy for trying to reduce the amount of spam we've been getting here lately!

Oct. 29, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. breadandroses2

Well done & quite right: interiors to drool over & more fun from Square America. The bedroom is a dream with big windows and painted wood floors. Surprised no one's snapped up RegalVintage's Pendleton jacket yet. Such a deal! My trusty old, c.1950 blanket plaid Pendleton jacket is still going strong after countless winters' wear.

Oct. 29, 2009 at 8:02 p.m. sweetsmilesbaby

love love love! The pics of what people carry with them are so great. Makes me very curious to look everyone's purse!

Oct. 29, 2009 at 8:58 p.m. catchalljewelry

I love photo booths. plus the hands in the "what people carry" photos really make the pictures. And I can hear little edie saying that quote so clearly. she delivered that line pretty darn well:)

I LOVE the blogosphere posts. But I HATE storque spam. Get a life spammers.

Oct. 30, 2009 at 8:19 a.m. Shadeofshadow

The pared down Scandinavian-inspired teriors make me go giddy (in a good way):)

Nov. 5, 2009 at 4:09 p.m. DarkBluebell

sorry, interiors rather than teriors. Clearly too giddy to type properly.
