1/ Craft the Rainbow: 40 Colorful Paper Projects from The House That Lars Built
My friend Brittany created this incredible book for the color lovers of the world. Inside you’ll find 40 projects using nothing but the creative power of paper! I’m hooked.

2/ Case Study Table Top Mushroom Planter with Plinth
I love Case Study’s modern ceramic planters! This is the latest I’ve added to my collection, an interesting mushroom shape in their new mustard hue. In case you missed it we’re giving one away, too!

3/ The Simplicity Collection from Aera
This little home fragrance machine helps keep my home smelling pet-free, and their latest collection – citrus, lavender, white tea, sandalwood, cherry blossom, and vanilla – are the perfect scents for this transitional time of year.

4/ Saya Designs Taro Hair Stick
I’ve been using this gorgeous hair stick constantly in lieu of hair elastics. It helps keep my hair from breaking off and the dark, reddish rosewood paired with golden tamarind is just beautiful.

5/ Eastside Design Co. Enamel Pins
Are you an enamel pin junky, too? These little guys from a college friend’s shop are my latest additions.

HOZEN

 

HOZEN‘s collection of bags are all vegan and sustainably made in California because Rae Nicoletti wanted to prove that philanthropy can look as good as it feels. The result is a line that honors and respects the planet. The bags are made from eco-friendly luxury synthetic leather and suede, zippers and thread sourced from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, natural rubber, and remnant rope, and labels and packaging made from organic cotton or post-consumer recycled paper. And it’s all sourced from factories around the world with high standards of ethics, responsibility, and governance. HOZEN’s current collection is made of up of three bag designs in six color options.

Jasmin Blanc

 

Jasmin Blanc is a one-woman jewelry shop in Romania that began in 2010 as a hobby for shop owner Erika. Since then it’s become so much more. (I can relate!) Her current jewelry line is crafted in ceramics with a focus on delicate, feminine shapes, pastel colors, and detailed textures. Jasmin Blanc also has some lovely home decor and tableware pieces in stock.
