Still haven’t found a replacement for my everyday “just because” florist that closed. I’d love to pick up something like this arrangement today. Winston Flowers, do you feel like expanding to the northern suburbs of Chicago? Just for me?

These brand new personalized labels from Felix Doolittle caught my eye this morning. As always, I’m smitten by the illustrations, and feel compelled to master a macaron recipe as I think that label is my favorite! Each one is completely customizable: see all 32 choices at the Felix Doolittle website. Sold as a set of 15 for $30, but right now, they’re 20% off. (Yay for sales!) They’d make a great gift, too, when you finish plotting what you need!

Looking for a holiday party invite that’s simple and extra sweet? Don’t miss the delightful selection at Petite Alma. My three favorites shown here. Loving the Santas, and the calligraphy! (Click on a photo to link to that invitation.)

It seems that London is the epicenter (for me) of all things design these days. Ben Pentreath was recently featured in World of Interiors for his careful and beautiful work reproducing historic mouldings. I had no idea when I googled him (to learn more about the mouldings) that I’d discover an amazing online shop. It seems curated just for me, full of beautiful accessories for the home. I’ve selected a few of my favorites to showcase here: the coffee bowl pictured above is so simple and perfect that I’m thinking it might fill the void left when my favorite “Utility” was discontinued. But honestly, I’m just scratching the surface. Please click over to the Ben Pentreath website to see it all. And don’t miss his blog, Inspiration, either. You can catch a glimpse of the Rugby Street shop as well as plenty of swoon worthy houses. I think I’ve found a most magnificent obsession. And I must get to London, soon. If you’re there now (lucky!), head on over to the shop’s current exhibit, “The Cabinet of Curiosities”. And report back, please.
