Eye Love You

Monday, January 24th, 2011

For a stationery hoarder like myself, a visit to Mr. Boddington’s Studio always results in new additions to my wish list. Their Valentine’s Day cards are cute as can be and almost make me wish I was on the female equivalent of Sister Wives (Brother Husbands??) so I could have a reason to buy both sets! All kidding aside, I think I’m leaning towards the eye chart. It reminds me of  this poster I’ve been coveting from Keep Calm Gallery.

P.S Did you spot the Eames lounge chair on the second card? Now I might have to reconsider my choice. LOVE!

Love Notes

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

You will certainly get lots of hugs and kisses if you send out gorgeous love notes this Valentine Day from Rifle Paper! I plan on picking up the assorted set because I couldn’t possibly decide on a favorite. I might even be tempted to frame one for my desk, they’re just SO pretty!

P.S If I could, I would send each and every one of you a note for your sweet comments recently!

A Winter Wonderland

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010
I’ve admired Amanda Brooks for her sartorial wisdom in I Love Your Style, but after seeing photos of her family’s mountain home featured on Vogue.com, I’m thinking her next book should focus on interiors! I honestly would love nothing more than to spend the winter hibernating in this Aiderondack retreat. Have you ever seen a more inviting cabin? I think a cup of hot chocolate and a stack of books is all I’d need by that roaring fire…

The Stockings Were Hung

Sunday, December 19th, 2010
Stockings were one of the things I dropped the ball on this year in our holiday decorations. I was so excited to hang one for each of us (pup included!) from the fireplace mantle but I just never found the right stockings. At home, we use personalized stockings hand knit by my Nana. They’re stretched from years of being stuffed with gifts, but it only adds to their character. These stockings from Roberta Roller Rabbit and Circa Trade may not have the years of family history, but I’m still a huge fan and would happily hang them from our mantle. Maybe next year!
Do you hang stockings for the holidays? Passed down or store bought? I’d love to know!

That’s A Wrap

Saturday, December 18th, 2010
 
Since we’re each headed to see our families this year, the boyfriend and I are exchanging gifts and having our own little celebration tomorrow. Isn’t it fun when Christmas comes early? Someone still needs to sit down and do some serious wrapping (I’ll give you a hint.. it’s not him!) and these awesome Washi masking tapes would add the perfect amount of pizazz to my packages. I’m partial to the metallics and stripes for the holidays. Do you have a favorite?
