Bombus Bespoke Map Heart

I can’t get this hand glazed, hand cut heart out of my head. So pretty + would make a lovely memento of one’s travels, or favorite place.
dimensions: heart is 6.5″wide; paper is 8.25″ square.

Farrow & Ball “Industrial”

Quite smitten with this “Industrial” palette from Farrow & Ball. I need a new house to paint.

Makié Linen Tote

Makié has some fantastic totes available, like this linen tote bag from Tampico. Simple + pretty and perfect for spring marketing and errands. (Can’t believe I didn’t know about their fabulous accessories until now.)

Albin’s Birds

How sensational would these decoupage bird trays look hung as a grouping on a wall? There are 43 birds to choose from + my mind is awash with possibilities …. From John Derian (a store I will be visiting again in May for sure while in NYC).

CB2 Barware (repurposed)

After a particularly clumsy month where I broke two of our bathroom tumblers, I’m pleased to have found a simple + substantial replacement. CB2’s double old-fashioned glass from the city barware line looks great on the sink, and the price is right: just 95 cents! The next “oops” won’t be costly.
