SR wall pockets

today i was admiring ben and makoto's bookcase in the sneak peek section of design*sponge which led me to their studio website, www.scoutregalia.com. they actually make said bookcase as well as DIY patio garden kits and these geometric wall pockets. check it out!

black and white

these delightful items can all be found at the marimekko concept store upper east side new york. and luckily online too!

toast

i just received my early spring toast catalog in the mail this week. it's awesome.

i haven't been able to get jeff to wear colorful tees or even neutral patterned shirts so i've talked him into colorful socks to brighten up his look. luckily jcrew has a great men's selection this season.

birds!

it's pretty obvious that jeff and i love birds so it was such a treat to find abigail's shop this week. all her creatures are hand-made in london, england.

ellie evans

i was looking into embroidery and cross stitching the other day and ran across ellie's pin cushions. i love how she combines the traditional art of embroidery with a modern mix of fabrics and designs.

potato prints

snow day!
calder and i spent a couple of hours making valentine's for his class party on friday.
super easy and super fun!

makr carry goods

although i already found my perfect backpack, i still love searching for new bags. some people have a million pairs of shoes, i collect bags :) check out makr carry goods, started by jason gregory in winter park, florida .

loyalty and blood

i bought a cool geometric shaped necklace from we are 1976 a few months ago not knowing it was by the husband and wife team, loyalty and blood. these fellow texans now live in brooklyn where they run their company. be sure to check out the goods!

oh anthro

im always so inspired by the anthropologie catalog and the new february edition is no exception. the gorgeous photography, unique product, modern, creative layout and cool typographical treatment really did it for me this month.

i found frank chimero on the poster cabaret site this weekend and thought i should share these amazing illustrated covers. see more of frank's work on his site, the office of frank chimero. enjoy!
