Pretty finds from J.Crew’s new arrivals for May. (I can picture myself sitting on a dock, toes dangling in the water, wearing the tunic top shown above.)

Howe London Chairs

salon chair

Simple, elegant chairs abound at Howe London. The salon chair pictured above would be perfect as a bedroom accent/slipper chair. (I’ve been looking for one.) Then again, I can’t get the orangerie chair out of my mind. It’s stunning! Give Howe’s site a look (full of pretty things for the home), and if you’re in London, stop by their shop  on Pimlico Road to see much, much more.

Fieldwork, A Floral Operation

prototype 1

This must be the week for fortuitous floral finds (and yes, the alliteration is intentional). Portland’s Fieldwork has me completely charmed, from arrangements to workspace. (Love that their trademark wrap is reproduction vintage fabric!)

You Are My Sunshine

iron curtain press 'you are my sunshine' card | simple pretty

I love this card.  So sweet + minimal, not to mention that the phrase is from a favorite childhood song. From Iron Curtain Press.

Pantry Press

customer appreciation evening/love the scallops!

I rediscovered Toronto’s Pantry Press over the weekend (remember their beautiful peony invitation for Martha Stewart Weddings?) Lots and lots of pretty to see with careful attention to detail: a few favorites sampled here. (Wish they were going to the Stationery Show. I’d love to get a better look at their designs.)
