naniIRO textiles

I just love the fabric + textiles by Japanese designer naniIRO ...

Such great colors. 

i *heart* french macarons

I'm enjoying a special afternoon snack today ...

From my new favorite local french macaron maker [they deliver to!].  Yum.

And speaking of delivered macarons, does anyone have a favorite?  So far I've tried Sucre + they're quite yummy too.

japanese craft books

A few Japanese craft books I've got my eye on ...

I recently came across the Dear, Sweet Home series ... and that just added to my 'need' for one of these books + to start a little collection.   And since I don't sew, these are purely to just enjoy the pictures.  :]

ps.  any other Japanese craft book recommendations + a good place to buy them?

Have you seen the Polaroid subscription Melissa of you are my fave is offering? 

I just signed up.  Love the idea of getting little surprises in the mail.  Especially cute Polaroid surprises.

Love these office goodies by Mateo Ilasco ...

I've seen those round clips before but hadn't seen all the other great paper goods in her line.  And the office desk set is just about the perfect gift to me :].

blog love

Hope you had a good weekend!  I thought I'd share a few blogs I've been loving + have added to my blog reader in recent months...

Lisa Golightly [the amazing talent behind Kiki + Polly], inchmark [former art director for Martha + amazing designer], all stripes [genius behind Black Pearl Press], + Ritzy Bee [Maria puts together the best wedding stuff ... and she's as nice as nice can be]. 

Happy Monday!

They're so simple but I'm totally loving this custom correspondence by Kate Spade ...
Those envelopes are great.

Like many, I love stripes.  And I'm loving these scarves ...

From organic giraffe [via mint]

And so sad about Domino.  I'm going to pull out my old issues + enjoy each page.

I *heart* all the prints from Bold & Noble ...

I've posted about metal baskets on this blog so many times but I just can't help it.  Don't you love these metal storage goodies? ...
