Back to work

We're all finally back in New York after our summer vacations and are very excited to be bringing our travel inspiration into the studio, so stay tuned for all sorts of fresh Petite Alma designs coming your way!
Of course, a return to the studio calls for new stationery, and our go-to store is Muji. They are right around the corner and their products are beautifully simple and so usable. They also have fab travel products (for next time we all decide to hop overseas).Labels: shopping |

If you've been feeling a little grey lately take a stroll over to Felissimo and brighten up your world with their 500 pencils subscription - every month for twenty months a small parcel will arrive at your front door containing twenty-five pencils of all different hues and tones. With names like lemon drop, Norwiegen sky, tea with milk, drizzly afternoon and lobster bisque, you'll never feel colourless again!Labels: art, hobbies, shopping |

Quirky Ceramics
5.04.2010
|
I thought I would share with you the wonderful ceramics of Rae Dunn. She is influenced strongly by Wabi Sabi, the Japanese philosophy that embraces the idea of imperfection and the transient nature of beauty, which results in some beautiful, playful pottery. Her little birth plaque is such a sweet simple idea for a newborn baby.Labels: art, shopping |

It is so very cold outside today and I am quite jealous of these little fashionable eggs in their warm and adorable felt ensembles. They are available from the lovely Brooklyn store, Abitare. Visit their online shop and keep your eggs happy all winter long... Labels: shopping |

match

Ok, so I love the look of silver - so elegant, so refined. I, however, do not love caring for it. I do not have the time or the patience to sit around polishing it every time it looses it's luster. Nor do I have a cleaning staff to do it for me. But, don't worry, there is a solution... pewter!
Pewter looks just like the old Hotel Silver that is so popular right now. If you use and wash your silver (a lot) it will begin to look like pewter- worn and loved. The pewter line by MATCH is phenomenal. The serving pieces are to die for- I want all of them (and a big house to use them in!) To view all of their lovely pieces, go to the MATCH website here.

To market, to market...

 For those of you who have left their shopping until the very last minute (like me), there are so many wonderful markets popping up all over the city. Kat and I explored a few of them last week and met some very lovely people selling some very lovely things...

DIY Christmas
12.20.2009

 These gorgeous paper christmas creatures are part of a simple print-and-make-at-home kit available from mibostudio. What a great kids holiday activity! I am absolutely in love with the sleepy little pink thing (i can't quite work out what it is). It would look cute on my desk all year round...Labels: children's toys, shopping |

 The ABC home window display
 Inside ABC home... drool
 Not entirely practical... but the coolest bed ever (in Soho's Anthropologie)
How fabulous is the holiday season!!! The snow has arrived at last and the cold is no match for the fun, cheery vibe that you can feel in the streets. My neighborhood is alive with celebration, twinkle lights and crazed shoppers. Speaking of which, stores have well and truly stepped up this year. Check out a few of our favorite 'wintery' displays from ABC home and Anthropologie...
Happy holidays to all! Labels: interior decorating, shopping |

Grown and Sewn
12.17.2009

We recently discovered Grown and Sewn, an absolutely beautiful store in Tribeca that has created the perfect male pant: "Kax" are a mix between jeans and khaki's (why didn't I think of that) and are obviously super comfy and versatile. If you've still got gifts to buy for the men in your life, I'd suggest taking a stroll down there or visiting their online shop. Labels: fashion, shopping |

 Never Abandon Ship by Eric Otto
 October by Devon Kelley-Yurdin
Next time you find yourself in the West Village, be sure to drop into Charmingwall Gallery on West 4th (between 6th and 7th Ave). This gorgeous little space is home to a lovely variety of fine art prints from some very talented artists – a perfect solution to brighten up your child's bedroom (or your own). The best part? Unframed prints are only $20 each! Gotta love that...
Or, if the cooler weather is not agreeing with you, check out their website and online store. Labels: art, interior decorating, shopping |
