Dino Sanchez’s One Off Goods is a beautifully crafted collection of one-of-a-kind leather and wooden goods. Each piece is so thoughtfully designed and executed that his work is sure to gather heirloom status from each proud owner.
As a steadfast beard lover, I of course gravitated toward Sarah Tanat-Jones‘ illustrated Beards of the World. The 28-page picture zine depicts “fashionable facial follicles across continents and cultures” and even includes your own beard to cut out. You know, for those of us who can’t really produce our own. Pick up your copy right here.
Long Island City’s Romi Hefetz is the talent behind the self-named Romi Ceramics. Take a peek at her lovely and modern selection of signature porcelain housewares, each piece created and finished by hand. These envelope vases in Romi’s Etsy shop are calling my name!

January is not only the coldest, but the month demanding the highest level of coziness. Thankfully Snowe recently released the perfect throw blanket for the job. I’ve been carrying it from room to room for the past week as I work through my day, because it’s just that functional and versatile. It’s a great throw to curl up with during a nap, and the super luxe cashmere, merino lambswool. and silk feel as amazing as they sound.
I’ve been trying to get back into my reading groove in the new year. This throw is the perfect thing to curl up with in my favorite chair – just add a book and a steaming mug of tea! Not only does this beauty look seamless in my living room, it’s also static resistant so it attracts less… like my pups’ hair.
Last, but certainly not least, it’s ideal for curling up in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine. Just like all of Snowe‘s goods, it’s exceptionally made and thoughtfully designed. I’m looking forward to adding more of their pieces to my home over time.

Cold Gold is one of my go-to jewelry lines of late. I wear my black and brass hexagon studs at least one day a week, and have gifted a few pairs of speckled gray and brass bar studs to raving recipients. Next on my list is snagging one of Alaina’s confetti patterned leather keychain wristlets!
London-based Richard Keeling‘s Shadow Shapes series makes my graphic-loving heart explode from delight. And there’s really only one thing that can possibly make it any better – you can purchase your own prints!

Though it carries a hefty price tag, I can’t help but stare at the Rayleigh Table Lamp. When switched off it comes off as a pretty pastel geometric sculpture, but flip the switch and light flows through a series of prisms to create a spectrum of neon hues.
Installations, paintings, graphite, pastel, sculpture… and dimensional drawings. Ajean Ryan‘s portfolio is a robust one, full of experiment and whimsy. And the last category above is the one that intrigues me most – dimensional drawings covered in bits and baubles from everyday life that all but jump off the page at you.

Posted In create, mixed mediaI was first introduced to spaghetti squash back in the 90s when my mom was on a clean eating diet. Being a picky teenage vegetarian at that time, I fell hard for the weird squash that took on the form of one of my favorite foods. These days it’s everywhere, and in about a hundred more forms and recipes – here are twelve I’d love to try.
