San Valentin

'Tis the season for red roses, chocolate kisses and love notes. If I had my way, I would surprise my boo with a big smooch, a heart-shaped breakfast, and a rocking chair built for two:

Paris vs. New York: The Book

You've probably glimpsed Vahram Muratyan's beautiful graphic comparisons of Paris and New York during your travels around the interwebs. But have you seen the book?

J'adore. T'would make a great gift. The postcard box is pretty great, too.

for the girl who has everything....dec.10

i promised my boo i would not publish anything related to what i want for christmas...so here is a list of lovelies that i would give to someone with similar taste :)

1. rennes le chateau's new leather duffle is such perfection, everything i...i mean she...is dreaming for in a bag at the moment.

2. make her these campfire orange cakes (use chocolate cake mix!!)

3. morganite studs are sweet, delicate, lady-like and soo classic.

4. i already own lena corwin's "printing by hand" and can't say enough good things about it! she gives super-detailed instructions for crafty projects involving various print methods and there's even a little pouch in the back where lena has generously shared some of her own custom patterns. i made the screen-printed baby quilt for my sweetpea niece!

5. enormouschampions' whale tea towels are earthy, neutral and cool for the kitchen. this one is lovely as well!

6. eleanor bolton's twisted necklace is a new obsession- so chunky it might even keep her neck warm!

7. an adorable teahouse to go with the tea towels above.

8. malin + goetz make some deliciously scented products, and one of my faves is the synthesized musk eau de toilette. petitgrain tonic is a close 2nd.
