Clever
http://thecleverblog.com/
A place for savvy creatives who don’t always fit nicely within the confines of Pinterest boards and DIY blogs. It’s not that we don’t love beautiful things: We do. We are stylish, spirited and always seeking inspiration – but prefer things a little more real than perfect. Ever-developing, our interests span too wide to be ‘obsessed’ with something crafty for too long. We have a good run, and then we move on.
