hey, happy thanksgiving!

happy thanksgiving everyone! i have been a bit mia, life, stuff, writing, house hunting yada yada. but wanted to pop in to say that i am wishing you all a relaxing holiday and weekend!

where are you spending your holiday? anywhere fun? i'm laying low this year, house hunting is in full force and a current time taker in my life but i'm embracing the process and hoping for just the right fit soon. when i do, i'll definitely post some before and after images as i make changes to spaces, because we have to right? :)

as you eat yourselves silly, some fun finds from around the world wide web:

i am reading this book on the train to work, PURE LOVE. highly recommend. i've been on a pretty insane pizza kick lately, so hoping to branch out this weekend and eat something new and different! in between reading and eating (and red wine!) i'll also be enjoying this rather pre-spring weather we are having in february, the other day was 70 degrees. what?! but we'll take it!

ways to display

the australian-based shop mr kitly (named after founder bree claffey's cat) is chock full of carefully curated goods for the home, a "thoughtful and considered collection of functional objects in ceramic, wood, and metal" and my favorite part of what they offer (at least right now!) are their vases and vessels, offering up pretty ways to display cut flowers...

wouldn't these be pretty on a holiday table? also great gift ideas! just saying...enjoy!

have a super (long) weekend!

it's labor day weekend, do you have fun plans?

(via)
i started this memoir the other night and am captivated by her story. i really want to watch this documentary this weekend (can imagining and preparing food be suspenseful? i think so!). i hope that your long holiday weekend is everything you want it to be!

and it's friday, so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

loving these rattan seats.

how sweet are these gator booties for kids?

gorgeous shelving.

i love what these lines turn into.

a great deal for a set of these 2 chairs.

a pretty beaded cosmetic bag.

make a statement entertaining with these "splash" dinner plates.

have you seen any good movies lately? this movie looks fun.

& missing gene wilder. i was always captivated by his sweet face, (those eyes) and his gentle body language.

10 sitting spaces

one of the things i've always loved is either entertaining friends at the dining room table or being a guest at others. especially at night, there is a comfortable intimacy about dining around a table, with people whose conversation inspires and soothes you, all at the same time...

these are 10 sitting spaces that i would love to be invited to today. enjoy!

local & lejos

local & lejos offers uncommon goods, good you just won't find in common retail stores. local & lejos scours the globe for special pieces, hand-made by local artisans and then brings them all together to help enrich your home with meaning...

local & lejos is design with intention. in english, local is defined as "pertaining to a community nearby, or belonging to a neighborhood." lejos, in spanish, is defined as "pertaining to a place that is far away, or far in the distance." so what local & lejos does is "brings homegoods to your home from far away places while supporting the artisans that crafted them."

from the colorfully woven bowls (many from rwanda that take 2 days to make!), to the soft serape blankets made in guatemala, to the elegantly block-printed napkins from india, each piece feels as if you've found a treasure. they are special. the people that made them are special. local & lejos is, well, very special too. enjoy!

willful goods with intention: etsy love

araya's etsy site willful goods with intention & her light wood products with peeks of pretty pastel & hints of neon are drawing me in today...

araya hand-dips each piece, from mini bowls to what she refers to as treasure pots (i love that!). check out more of what araya and willful goods with intention offers up here. great mother's day gift ideas too! enjoy...

plumo home

london-based plumo offeres up alot of good things. unusual fashion items (and they have a spring sale going on!), jewelry, shoes and sweet things for the home...

these were a few of my current favorites but i wanted just about everything. it's so fun finding new-to-you companies that offer up so much that meets your style. don't you think? enjoy!
