clip-n-save: martha's best sources

Even if you’re not someone who normally picks up Martha Stewart Living magazine, you may want to grab a copy of the June issue. Inside is a special anniversary story called “15 Years of the Best Sources” which is definitely worth saving. It’s a listing of 80 sources that they’ve used over the years, on everything from antiques to tangerines. It’s not online yet, though that may be because they haven’t updated their site for this issue. Here are few of our favorites on the list, including Purl Soho, the knitting store that always inspires us with its selection of scrumptious yarns (like the Rowan Biggy print, above, $14.75). Also, if you’re looking for a great design source links list, check out Domino’s Black Book — and no, we’re not just recommending it because we’re on the list. We really do use this page of links all the time.
