Fifteen/Eleven :: creative workshops

Just wanted to share that we've posted some new workshops at the store for late spring + summer!

Go here to sign-up or for more info. 

linda & harriett :: sale

I just stocked up on some of my favorites over at Linda & Harriet's sale ... so many goodies and you can never have enough cards [trust this from the girl who works with paper every day and owns a paper shop!] ...

Go check it out ... before she sells out [sale ends Tuesday]. : )

beta5 chocolate

Pretty packaging + yummy looking treats by BETA5 ...

new favorite sketchbook

I have a pretty good collection of notebooks -- for notes, sketching, list-making, etc., -- and whenever I find a particuarly good one, I get excited. For example, this one is my new favorite sketchbook ...

Its the perfect size, has a pocket and all sorts of handy information in the back.  Designed by Studio8 for Magma. 

on my mind

A few things I've become semi-obsessed over ... some new, some old ...

1.  Milk Bar cookies.  I usually stop to pick some up when in NYC but I'm thinking about ordering some to fulfill my craving.

2.  This new Discover Monet site is fantastic.  

3.  Finally getting around to reading this book and so far, so good.

4.  This J. Crew bag just came out and I think it might be my spring obsession. 

5.  Love these flats so much.

6.  I tried to get this print for the shop when we opened but wasn't able to. Might just have to get for our home. 

7.  The Grid System has a newly updated site and its pretty great. 

tucker

I'm a long-time fan of Tucker and some of the favorite pieces I own are from them. They make the best silks with great, timeless colors + patterns ...

Love.

analogue life

Perfect home goods from this Japanese shop, Analogue Life ...

Love the simple, bold black. 

nyc :: buvette

I spotted Buvette, a little French Bistro in NYC, in the most recent Martha Stewart.  Love, love everything about it and can't wait to try on my next visit ...

Everything from the small plates [including simple spoonfuls of Nutella] to the wrapped hard-boiled egs to the chalkboard menus look like perfection. 

paul thurlby abc's + 123's

Pretty much every day I get emails from people looking for the source of this image/post I did a couple of years ago.  It got pinned on Pinterest but unfortunately linked to just my homepage. I try to respond to all the emails but I thought I'd share the source again ...

And good news is, Paul Thurlby, has even more fantastic illustrations + a book!  The book looks fantastic ... I just ordered it and excited to receive.  

The Noun Project

Love this site/project, The Noun Project, a library of free, downloadable icons symbolizing objects and concepts ... 

Found via The 99 Percent, where they have a great interview with the couple who founded the site.
