Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Happy gorging of all things turkey and pumpkie pie, but most of all, take time to give thanks. We're taking a little day off for Friday so I thought I'd include an early "Thanks-Giving" cupcake for our cupcake Friday post.

Seed Clothing

I love the delicate finishes and silhouettes by Amy Brea of Seed Clothing. With a jacket or cardigan, these are perfect work to cocktail frocks!

Greedy Girl Calendar Swap

Caroline, over at Greedy Girl let us know about a fabulous calendar swap that she's hosting! You have until November 30th to email her. You will then be assigned a "swapmate" to send a calendar (of your choosing between $20-25) to. How fun..and ahem, not to bias you all but I can think of a great eco-calendar to send off.

Sixth and Elm

These zen-like boxes and bonsai replicas by Sixth and Elm are the kinds of objects you want near you on a cold, fall night when you're curled up reading a book.

For the Love of Lace

I don't think I will ever get tired of lace patterns, especially in household objects and accessories. So romantic, charming and timeless!

This little owl cake is too adorable to eat... And I am loving that one owl's long, wispy eyelash!
Happy Cupcake Friday and weekend everyone!

Sweet Perfection

I have a ridiculous affection for felt creations. And don't even talk to me about macaroons...I have known to swallow the lavendar ones at the Boulange whole without blinking. These little gems by Smarmy Pants have definitely combined the best of both worlds!

Cardboard Safari

Looking for affordable, eco-friendly animal trophies for your walls? Cardboard Safari carries an endless collection of 100% recyclable cardboard moose, deer, rhino that you can assemble into paper sculptures. I love the moosehead!

Shop Friend: Natalie Bowen Designs

Without fail, Natalie Bowen's floral artistry always blows us away. She is so gracious and talented and we were the lucky recipients of this gorgeous peony, hydrangea and mini-tangerine (aka "cuties") arrangement. I can honestly tell you, the photo doesn't do it justice... Our customers ogled this arrangement all weekend! Click here to visit more of Natalie's incredible work.

Vlieger & Vandam: Domestic Bliss

Why not covet the accessories of modern domesticity...a man (and his 'stache), a woman, and their wool felted dachshund wristlet. Leave it to Dutch design couple Vlieger & Vandam for such novel creations!

Bella Bella

I just love these iconic notecards by Bella Bella. How fun to buy an assortment to invite your friends to a girly get together or shower!

Wind in Mind

We love things made of swapped and recycled materials. I think these little pouches made of recycled sailing materials by Swedish company Wind in Mind are so cheerful and clever!

Mad Men Frock

I've been having Mad Men withdrawal ever since its season finale. This saucy retro wool peacock sheath by M. Holland is made from Liberty of London fabric and can be custom sized. You can channel the inner Mad Men in you with this!

Eco Chic Calendars at Anthropologie

Looking for a compact desk calendar? Our line of Eco Calendars have arrived at Anthropologie and are also available online! We used reclaimed lumber and 100% PCW papers so that the start of your new year is packed with the good intent of being eco-friendly.

Kate Cusack : Zipper Jewelry

Kate Cusack is an artist of many expressions, but her zipper jewelry just stopped me in my tracks. As you know, this season it's all about big statement jewelry and these pieces will exude a polished "wow" factor to any wardrobe!

Shu Uemura: Tokyo Lash Bar

Look at what Shu Uemura's cooked up for lashes...everything from lace to feathers to crystals! You can purchase these Fantasy lashes online or at the Tokyo Lash Bar.

Blofield: Inflatable Chesterfield

For the non-commital decorator: Blofield has created an inflatable Chesterfield sofa which is just genius!

Virgil O. Stamps

At Virgil O. Stamps, you are encouraged to send in your "trash." From there, he will convert anything from gym floor tape, old books or children's drawings into letterpressed business cards and invitations. I thought his business cards were brilliant and a perfect eco-friendly option!

These business cards were made from floral paper
(and would make great placecards for a wedding too!).

Halloween Hangover

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween! Here are some pics of my Boston "Terror" and his Halloween day at the studio. A bumble bee costume could not be found, so he donned an iguana suit that I had to sew him into because of his thunder thighs.
