Rachel Perry Welty

Posted on

Sometimes I wonder how I don’t know so many awesome artists exist already until someone points them out to me. That’s exactly how I felt the other day when Charlotte told me about an exhibit she saw at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The artist’s name is Rachel Perry Welty and she is actually […]


Peter Batchelder

Posted on

A few weeks ago I was up in New Hampshire, once again visiting the Sharon Arts Center, which is regularly a source of favorite painters, pastel artists, etc. I saw a few works by Peter Batchelder and was really taken with his use of color and, of course, the barns and houses he represents through […]


London Find: Pols Potten

Posted on

While conveniently hiding from the rain at Selfridges in London I came upon their little shop within a shop of wonderful Dutch design items mostly to wear or for the home. I saw a really beautiful lantern and picked it up – that’s where I learned about Pols Potten.  The lantern was the one below […]


London Find: Luke Irwin

Posted on

Driving through London last week I spotted a rug hanging in a window – I quickly whipped around (I was in the back seat) and jotted the name down on a lark, Luke Irwin. Turns out it’s an awesome thing I did because Luke’s custom rug making studio makes some pieces that are reminiscent of […]


Julie LaBulle

One of my favorite sites for shopping is Svpply. With everything going on lately I have been derelict at checking it but today I did and came across the very cool works of Julie LaBulle, otherwise known as Giulia Dolci. Giulia is a London-based graphic designer and illustrator whose Hairy Series reminds me of Marilyn […]


London Find: Luna del Mar

Posted on

The last week has been a complete whirlwind of returning from the UK and moving my home up the street! We got the internet sorted and I’m back in action, as it were. I have a stable of cool people and products to post about as well but I’ve been so busy doing the necessities […]


London Find: Sue Binns

Posted on

I spent today in London doing two things: eating and shopping. I was mortifyingly late to a brunch with my friend through Nest, Anju, who graciously let me infiltrate her weekend only to have me nearly sleep through brunch due to a Blackberry that decided it had not switched timezones. After a brief recovery and […]

Textile Arts Center has a fabulous blog full of wonderful fiber artists so many in fact it’s just hard to keep up sometimes with everything cool that they share. I don’t even try but sometimes I just want to post on the same artists over here because they’re great! Such was the case when I […]


Pendant Lights

Posted on

Interior design crisis…sort of. We spent Sunday morning in the new place taking measurement for the move, slated for a week from Thursday! The large pendant lamp that the former tenants had above their dining room table was gone (as we suspected since it isn’t a cheap one) and in its place is a sub-par […]

In Chicago last weekend we went into the City one day and walked up and down Michigan Ave. In our true nesting mood we stopped into Anthropologie to look at their homegoods. As a lover of delicate porcelain and knitting my attention was grabbed by the below items. I immediately fell in love but since […]
