i’m flying south to virginia today for some much needed r&r with my family. i’ll be back on friday monday but for today i’ll leave it up to the people behind the must-read sites below (in no particular order). these are just some of my daily reads, for more please see the blogroll to your…
looks like a fun show- “very brooklyn” is a show taking place in montreal full of brooklyn-based designers. hivemind’s new stool is worth checking it out alone…click here for more info [via mocoloco]
buy olympia is such a fantastic site for supporting local independent artists. well, local if you’re in olympia, but you know what i mean. i stumbled upon these bookmarks from sherwood press and immediately tagged them for a future purchase. the neat thing about sherwood’s bookmarks is that they’re actually 8 page notebooks you can…

sofia sent over some lovely new prints available in her etsy shop right now. my favorite is this one- a print of birds, trees and dots over a vintage french music sheet. $18 right here…
my green chair press print arrived in the mail yesterday and it’s stunning- i might have to order some more. and lucky for me, green chair just added a new green print and some lovely coasters to their collection. the coasters are $12 and the print is only $12. i highly suggest checking them out-…
irene just posted some fantastic links over at bloesem. the post about gesine hackenberg’s work [via grijs] is really lovely…click here to see the most recent posts.
i find the vintage shops at etsy to be an interesting addition to the bunch- i’m eager to see how it works and if prices will raise with interest like ebay. in the meantime, i’m digging this little vintage tray at nice’s shop. it’s only $16 and available right here…enjoy! [there’s only one so order…
i’m loving these pen and ink trunk drawings from the quiet revolution. so pretty…
casanova is a fantastic (relatively new) danish shop that carries modern home design with an eye for scandinavian products. the owner’s boyfriend emailed me this weekend and explained (since the site is in danish) that they definitely offer shipping overseas as well as e-commerce for those of us in the states. despite being in danish…
i love hot pink right now. i can’t get enough of it. thankfully for ac i think my obsession will be short-lived and won’t find its way into any permanent home decorations. but these hot pink rose placemats at rockett st. george are too cute to ignore. pink? and translucent pink at that? be still…
just a reminder about updates at ds* on hg today: a post on the jaanus orgusaar’s work, two affordable under $100 finds and two splurge-worthy things we love.
we’ve talked about kiki van eijk before but i wanted to add a few pieces that i hadn’t posted before. i’m loving ceramics with highly textured, almost chunky detailing these days so kiki’s “laced” and detailed vessels are right up my alley. they were produced in 2004 so they were definitely ahead of the curve…
i first discovered céline saby‘s work when i visited french touche last summer. she makes the most wonderful lampshades that excude a sort of boho meets asian style. recently she added a collection of lamps with woodland/mushrooms themes on that that remind me of jill bliss‘ work. each one has such a playful vibe and…
secondhand rose is my go-top shop when i’m looking for some inspiration. they always have such a nice collection of vintage patterns that remind me to look at colors and patterns in a new way. i loved this pattern in the “rare and unusual” collection…looks so warm and bold. click here to browse their full…
anthro just launched a new home catalog today- and of course, it’s gorgeous. click here to browse.
so pretty and preppy- tableware from rosanna bowles.

i love a good bird house. despite the fact that we can’t get any birds to live on our fire escape i always bookmark good designs like this for the day we finally own a house with a yard. eva solo’s nesting box is such a nice modern vessel for giving birds a home. why…
they say the first step is admitting your addictions so i’ll fess up- i, grace bonney, am a full-on iomoi junkie. the frequency with which i check their paperweights section for updates is shameful. but i always love their new designs. they’re so perky and cute- you can use them in the office (to keep…
