My Favorite Things Today

A spin around the shop floor had me noticing some things that I thought would be fun to feature today. The above honeycomb orb candlesticks are just plain gorgeous. Whether singly or grouped together. They are also quite heavy.

B.R. Cohn makes just the best stuff. This makes me think of Summer. The drawing on the bottle reminds me of Chez Panisse.

Our new 2014 Watson Kennedy calendar towel that Le Jacquard Francais makes for us each year arrived when we were in New York a few weeks ago. Boxes and boxes of them. I love how some customers have started a collection and have one from each year since we began having these made. Lovely to use in place of wrapping paper and wrap around a bottle of wine or bubbly for a host/hostess gift.

My new favorite ribbon.

Have been really enjoying the color red this past week. Interesting how your eye gravitates to certain colors at times. Mine is going to red at the moment.

Always loving anything to do with hands. Always. Hands tell so much about a person.

Just a pretty, pretty book by designer Michael S. Smith. Actually handsome is a better description. His work always a nod to earthy colors and strong architectural influences.

Diptyque re-packaged their edt’s in a new beautifully shaped bottle. Our order arrived the other day and I love seeing all of the new boxes lined up ever so neatly together. Visually I like seeing many of one type of item together.

Murano glass and shells, oh my.

Just the sweetest little dog figures to have on a shelf or desk. Spunky little fellows.

There you have it! How is it almost August already? Hope your Summer is all that you wish it to be…
