Week Forty-eight: Watson Kennedy

watson kennedy, seattle | simple pretty

Right around now is when the stress of Christmas hits me. So many people to buy for + so little time (not to mention the added pressure that I’d like each gift to be meaningful!) I wish I could transport myself back to Seattle for an afternoon of shopping at Watson Kennedy. Owner Ted Kennedy Watson has an impeccable eye for merchandise (and merchandising) that I think I could knock off my entire list in a matter of hours, unless I got distracted poking through piles of paper ephemera. (That actually happened.) To persuade you, I’ve included a few photos from my August visit, but for the full effect, follow the Watson Kennedy blog – think of it as a catalog, updated (almost) daily. And yes, Watson Kennedy ships.
