I love this guy! Maurizio Santucci (aka Bomba) is an Italian illustrator with a passion for paper craft and an imagination gone rampant. Check out his very cool portfolio here.

bedtime!
4.27.2010


My new favorite linens are from Matteo.  I love the hand crafting and natural color palette.  Their website isn't fully functioning yet, but they do have a wonderful video which gives you a sense of their quality.  In addition to linens they also have a clothing line- nice, simple and neutral.  Click here to visit the Matteo website.

Blooming beautiful
4.23.2010



These hand-stitched flowers and accessories by NYC company EmersonMade, are exquisite (lovely photographs and styling also). As you can imagine, their designs are a big hit with weddings, however I think their little flag banners and floral garlands would be perfect in a nursery - especially this time of year!

Keep on Moving
4.20.2010


Isn't this a great screen print? I love the mixture of type and colour, and who doesn't like old bicycles? It was put together by the very talented chaps over at Telegramme, a bespoke design studio based in sunny London. You can take a peek here.

Florence Broadhurst
4.19.2010


Broadhurst fabric and wallpaper swatches from Signature Prints

In Australia, you can't get five minutes into your design education without falling in love with Florence Broadhurst. She was a fabulously strong and interesting woman and her designs are still in high demand, adorning the walls, carpets and furniture of stylish homes all over the world. I love her bold colour palette and would DIE for a wall covered in the yellow bamboo print...

Hooray for Monday

Photography by Hannah Scott Stevenson

These lovely photos (from the very cute online childrens magazine Papier-Mache) have brightened up my day. Kids really do have all the fun... I wish I could get away with wearing this fabulous petticoat by Grandma Takes a Trip.

Maira Kalman Exhibition
4.09.2010


I love Maira Kalman's bold use of colour, her unique wit and the way she manages to capture so much personality in her portraits. This is why next week I'm heading over to the Julie Saul Gallery to check out her latest exhibition: Further Illuminations (it's on until May 1st). If you don't happen to live in nyc, then you should take a trip to your nearest book store or library to take a peek at her most wonderful books: The Principles of Uncertainty, and Elements of Style.

Up in the air somewhere
4.07.2010

 photography by Ben Syverson

I don't know if it's because Spring has returned and with it, my obsession with unexpected pops of yellow and gold, but I am LOVING these beautiful ceramics and papier-mâché vessels by Up in the Air Somewhere. Susan Dwyer has found the perfect blend of clean lines and delicate, organic elements. Delish.

Easter Eggs
4.05.2010



After a very indulgent weekend full of wonderful food and too much chocolate to mention, I thought I would post some of my favourite Easter ideas on etsy. From the top: an adorable little robin's nest from ShabbyChic Cottage, pretty vintage hymnal eggs from pumpkin papers, cute speckled eggs from green baboon designs, and finally these beautifully coloured, hand dyed eggs from Syrendell.

jenna's got it
4.02.2010



J Crew collection!  It just keeps getting better.  We love the "Jenna's picks" section.  Sometimes when you look at J Crew online, you just don't see certain things or ways to put them together.  But Jenna's picks does a great job of sorting it all out for you when you don't have time.   Click here to view the spring 2010 collection line and here to view Jenna's picks.
and...Happy Easter!
