I have always been a huge fan of anything Orla Kiely, especially after visiting London this past fall, her hometown.  Who wouldn’t love the distinctive multi stem pattern that is so widely recognized these days… it’s happy, bright and just plain fun!  So, when I saw this shirt from Boden USA… my wheels started to [...]

I have a long history with horses… yes, horses, you read it right!  While I love them, think they are beautiful and wouldn’t mind having a few grazing in my backyard… I’m a bit terrified of riding one.  Due to an unfortunate incident which has deeply scarred me, my heart always skips a beat when [...]

If money wasn’t an option (and it always is), I would own Hermes Bangle Bracelets in every one of their juicy colors.  But alas… reality has set in and at at $560 a piece, I have come to the conclusion it’s just not going to happen today…. but maybe, just maybe one day! Write more… [...]

Today is a very exciting day for me (and you)…  It’s the first in a new weekly series we will be running over the course of the next few months, featuring the fabulous work spaces of some of the most wonderful stationery designers out there.  We’ll be allowed a glimpse into their worlds… see what [...]

I don’t know what it is about squirrels but I just can’t get enough of them.  Never mind the fact that they are just beautified rodents with bushy tails who steal the bird food and run out in front of my car… I think they are cute little nut loving creatures! Write More… Type Less, [...]
