Friday Finds: Icewalk by ljangphotography

"Icewalk" by 

ljangphotography

This glorious picture of Maligne Canyon, at Jasper National Park Alberta was shot by Larry of ljangphotography. Taking avail of a rare opportunity to actually walk below in the canyon (which isn't possible during summer as the water thunders down as a waterfall), the viewer can see how the water here has frozen in time, up close and personal. The walls of the canyon are 50 feet high and it must be breathtaking to do the walk on the riverbed during winter. It's now on my bucket list! Larry has done a brilliant job of letting you almost experience it yourself!
See more of his stunning photography here.

Friday Finds: Recycled Chocolate Brown Winter mitts by RecycledandResewn

turquoise and brown wool mittens

Looking at this stylish pair of mitts you would never guess that they have been recycled and repurposed from an old brown and turquoise sweater! Teresa of RecycledandResewn started experimenting with upcycling old sweaters into warm cozy mitts by lining them with polar fleece, way back in 2005 and successfully sold more than 130 pairs last year alone. She has now branched out into pillows and totes as well. More of her amazing talent can be viewed in her fab shop!

Friday Finds: Fingerless Gloves by Arly

Fingerless mitts


Brrrr! It seems that the weather has changed and we've left summer behind! Now that Fall is almost here, and I say almost because the leaves haven't changed colour yet, we need to keep warm... fashionably ofcourse!
Arly has just the thing. From her studio in Montreal, she spins beautiful hats, mittens, scarves and baby accessories with luxurious, colorful yarn. My favourite is this pair of fingerless gloves in Bridal Rose. I love the attention to detail found in the romantic heart buttons. A perfect accessory for Fall or Winter!

Friday Finds: Krisuvik Iceland Rug

Krisuvik, Iceland   - 2009



Like a sad song, even the coldest and windiest of winter days can be beautiful. This scene, depicted on a hand-hooked rug, is sure to inspire thoughts of warm cocoa and spiced wine, cuddly blankets and a roaring fire.

The lonely little church and rugged landscape of Iceland come to life with a variety of different fibers, including Icelandic and repurposed wool. To learn more about this wonderful creation, and to see more expertly crafted rugs, visit Marzipan Road.
