• JR's inside out project at times square.
• these a détacher sandals did not come home with me, but they sure were pretty.

National Stationery Show 2013

as promised, here are some images of our booth from last week's national stationery show. as you can see, lots of new things coming your way, including peacocks, mythical beasts, and volcanos.

we had a great time -

the nss is so different from the international gift show, mostly as it reminds us of the amazing and generous community of paper people that are out there. plus, i am still not tired of you new york. you may not be the lady of my teenaged dreams, but you still got it.

 

we're baaaaack

hello. it's been a whirlwind. spent the last week in new york for the national stationery show (it was awesome, more tomorrow). in the meantime, here are some other bits to inspire:

• my dream garden from t magazine. alas, endless rains here in vancouver, and my agaves only rot.
• perfect summer uniform from rachel comey.
• if you are going to have tchotchkes around the house, they might as well be a pair of 5th century bc greek eyes.
• this image of pierre bonnard's studio. 
• quite amazing sailboat kimono with stenciled warps, hand tie-dyed wefts, and supplementary metallic threads. from the blog daily japanese textile.

a few things

hi. i haven't been blogging much.

between pinterest and instagram and blogs and other assorted media consumption, sometimes i need to step back and look carefully at the cherry blossoms.

here's a hit of stuff, until i can capture all the spectacular pink outside.

• a book cover, from this amazing antique book site.
• ceramics from jeff reich.
• an amazing mix of prints, followed from an antique red and white caftan, both from this brilliant tumblr.
• watermelon. from pinterest. because summer is 60 days away.
