Loved this post from Black*Eiffel of tulip fields in Holland (via Seesaw Designs).

Ok - I usually don't get excited about wedding attire for the groom but look at these gorgeous ties by Cyberoptix Tie Lab (via  Earth Friendly Weddings).

I'm still basking in the glow from Tuesday's outcome.

Love this yarny wreath with vintage bits over at The Constant Gatherer...

charming

I love all of Portland artist Trish Grantham's paintings - I can never get enough - such wonderful and whimsical imagery. Check out her art sale starting in the wee hours Wednesday morning here.

Love this revamped vintage suitcase over at Jersey Maids at etsy...

non-traditional holiday

Loved seeing this article in Home Companion about textile designer Amy Butler's holiday decorations with husband David in their modern home in Ohio. Love their color palette of sour apple with robin's egg blue, silver, white, and wood tones. Catch the vintage paintings mixed in with bits of industrial furniture. And I especially love the poufs under the Christmas tree made with Amy's own fabrics - they almost look like giant gifts. 

Absolute eye candy.

Fall always puts me in the mood for faux bois - look at this fab set of cement faux bois stools and table over at Foley & Cox at 1st Dibs from 1900...

What would we eat at that table? Maybe a smoky gouda mushroom tart, roasted chestnut soap, and crisp apple cider? 

precious metals

I am so excited to start carrying this line in the shop. Jennifer Sarkilahti designs Odette jewelry in New York. The natural forms are so lovely. You can read more about her on her blog here...
