have a super weekend! (kind of late)

i had another buuuuuusy week! how was yours?

(via)
so i'm late saying have a super weekend! what are you up to, anything amazing? i'd love to hear! i spend the weekend these days resting and recovering from busy work weeks, learning a fabulous new job, commuting on the train, which i'm finding very interesting people-wise, (see my instagram images here) and trying to take care of myself in general.

so cheers to rest & relaxation, to doing fun things or doing absolutely nothing! and it's the weekend, so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

such a gorgeous handbag line. (i especially love this one)

this cutting board is just perfection really.

very cool kimonos.

ooh this rose chair.

i know it's an ashtray but i love it anyway.

reading these brief book reviews.

could this be the most amazing way to work out ever? (via)

a vintage pillow cover, etsy love.

another pillow crush.

this free form hairpin is gorgeous.

this fringe pullover would be perfection with skinny jeans.

a big fat yes to these iron plant stands.

expensive yes, but so pretty.

a curious table lamp, but i like it.

some real yummy art book selections.

super fun cards to give.

the most stylish outdoor barbecue grill ever.

lavish alice...a fresh take on the blazer.

can a rug make you happy? this one does it for me.

a pretty frilled sheer top.

really like this low "fly series pouf".

this might help winter blah skin.

i'm not really a print person, but i like this one alot.
enjoy!

gan

there is alot to love about this company gan. they are india-based and offering up a number of products made by hand, "gently"...super textural items that "become a system of shapes and volumes that redefine the concept of habitability."

gan works in india developing local economies wherever they present, they are also an active participant in "child protection programs and sponsor a women's development project in a rural setting." don't you love all of that?

i was first drawn to the bold, perfectly over-thick textural element to most of gan's pieces. they offer a particular warmth in pattern and bring a reminder of natural sensibilities to spaces. see more of what gan offers up here, & enjoy!

having fun with aelfie

the brooklyn-based boutique home goods company aelfie is offering up some fun home accessories, rugs, bedding, pillows, just alot of my favorite things to accent spaces with, but also pieces that are easy to change out often, giving your spaces quick little face lifts...

loving the high five bedding! enjoy...

monday & filling spaces

portland oregon-based filling spaces, every bit of their product line, encompasses "rich artistic tradition, creativity and craftsmanship." oh, and it's totally all about textiles, pattern & texture, color palettes that remind you of the ocean, the sky, of gardens and getting outdoors in every way...

these were a few of my favorites, though it was hard to pair it down to just these. the color palettes and patterns pull at my "i was raised by my mother who often wore hand-dyed batik indian dresses while playing the acoustic guitar" heartstrings. they really do. and she really did. enjoy!

10 things

oh, just 10 fun finds, interior accessories that i find fun or interesting today. from table top sculpture and bowls, to unusual poufs and table lamps...

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

direct links are above to each product/company. it's so fun to sort of go down the rabbit hole now and then, sifting through product and new to you companies. you find so much that is original, unusual, you find wow pieces and just pieces that might keep people guessing. and that's the most fun in my mind. enjoy!

adding texture with crochet.

as i calculate ways to add texture to wardrobes or interior spaces, i think that the texture crochet adds is interesting and fun...

(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
i don't know how to crochet, but i do appreciate the art and style that it adds to just about anything and everything. these were a few recent favorites i had saved. enjoy!

a seating menagerie.

this tuesday i wanted to share a selection of seating options offered up by northern icon...

some northern icon pieces sit more classically, some more playful and colorful (for that unexpected wow piece!), and some you are drawn to just because you really like it (like that velour circus pouf). that's what a design company worth its weight does, it offers you tons of options depending on your overall style, look, or that absolute wow piece that you are going for. enjoy!
