Modern Clay

Look at all these lovely ceramics from Paula Greif. She will be having a sale this Sunday.

So charming and I love the blues and whites...

How cute are all these new designs coming soon from Darling Clementine! Looks like they have teamed up to do a collaboration with Norwegian tea company Crema, to make "Harvest tea which consists of four tasty flavors." Also shown are adorable tea towels, calendars, and cards - so charming!

proud mary

I love these textiles from Proud Mary. Bold graphic patterns made into scarves, pillows, and purses - and a fair trade company as well!

"Proud Mary was started in 2008 when owner, Harper Poe returned from volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in South America. After falling deeply in love with the indigenous peoples and brightly colored textiles she decided to combine her passions into a sustainable design business promoting social change. By providing a global exploration of textiles, Proud Mary, supports and empowers global artisans and their families while celebrating their beautiful work!". Find their work here.

retro chic

How fun are these pieces from Orla Kiely? The leaf jacquard towel would brighten up any modern bath. Hmmm....where would I go for lunch with gals in this mustard wool suiting pocket dress and structured rosemary bag? I think it might involve an Arnold Palmer...

flower dreams

I almost jumped out of my chair when I got this press release this morning - Heather Moore of Skinny Laminx has just lauched a fabric line of floral prints - Flower Dreams. We carry her towels and pillows at ink & peat and I just love her sense of color and pattern - modern but quirky and whimsical. What fun!

Here is Heather's take on one of the prints in her new line: Wild Flowers
"The centrepiece of the collection is called Wild Flowers - a large-scale two-colour screenprinted design that manages to be lots of things at once: It’s a bit Japanese, it’s sweetly feminine, a little Folky, a tad popp-y, and just a little bit mad!"

fun mod finds

Love some of these furniture and decorative pieces from H.D. Buttercup. I hope to go there next time I visit San Francisco. HAve you been? Maybe it's time for spring but I can't get enough of clean lines and shades of orange!

bold and beautiful

Here are just a few of Madeline Weinrib's rugs that are inspiring me today...

Just a jolt of color and pattern to start the week off right!

Love these new cushions from British designer Megan Park. I always appreciate her sense of color and way of combining ecelectic patterns and textures  - playful and hip without being overbearing. Fab!

woodland

Just wanted to pop in and post about these adorable new posters from Swedish artist Camilla Engman of Studio Morran. They are so charming and clever and I really appreciate her sense of color. They would be perfect in a little cabin in the woods.

Natural Christmas with Sibella Court

Doesn't this sound like a blast? Following Sibella Court through the fabulous gardens at Glenmore House in Australia to make an eclectic and natural tablescape? A lovely lunch and picnic made from the garden's bounty is included. What fun! Info is here.
