Crushing on the animal pottery of Barruntando.
The original, modern pottery of Spain’s Barruntando initially caught my eye with the colorful little bears above. What I found when I dug a little deeper only made me more excited. Little clay creatures with tons of personality, unique and functional household pieces, and combinations of the two.

Sayonara 2014, aloha 2015! Last year was full of much success on both personal and business levels, but it was also filled with turmoil and challenge. Some good, some bad. I’m looking forward to grabbing the new year with everything I have and squeezing every last drop of potential out of its 365 days. Here’s to a good one!

A virtual fist bump full of Silhouette rings to all of you for making it through 2014! This was a tough one, full of Big Huge Terrible Things in the world we live in and consistently difficult challenges on a more personal level. While I’m not sorry to see it go, I am happy for all it’s taught me. See you in the new year!

RJ Gemmell‘s somber illustrations seem perfect for late December, where grey days abound and the days are still short while the nights are long. I love the offbeat perspective each one exhibits because they take me back to how my mind as a child translated dimensions.
I’ve been taking full advantage of the lower temperatures each evening and curling up under a blanket with Bebe as I finish up work for the day. (The fact that dogs are essentially electric blankets is totally underrated in this day and age.) I’m also looking for a good reason to tote my heaviest camp blanket outdoors to either enjoy a hot beverage in the backyard or hang out around a campfire. And while I’m all stocked up, here are eight camp blankets I’ve got my eye on.
ROW 1: Modern Scout Throw // Civil War-Style Wool Blanket // Derailed Eco Throw
ROW 2: Black Kantha Quilt // Vintage Throw ROW 3: Antique Buchanan Tartan Cashmere Blanket //
Signal Stripe Throw // Mega Knit

Scotland-born, Brooklyn-based Katy Smail has a portfolio full of pieces that exhibit her modern illustration chops. I especially love the way she handles hair on the ladies that grace her work as well as her tendency to show great detail in some features, while keeping others as stark as possible.
Since I first spied these HausCraft spell kits from HausWitch I’ve become a little obsessed. Each of six kits comes with whatever stone, cauldron, candle, incense, etc best aligns with your need/desire. Choose from wishes for a cozy home, harmony in relationships, balance and calm, space clearing and refreshing, finding your perfect place, tending to new year’s resolutions, and protection and positivity. Kind of perfect for starting 2015.

Italian photographer Giampaolo Sgura staged supermodels Magdalena Frackowiak and Elisabeth Erm as packaged living dolls for Vogue Paris’ December ’14/January ’15 issue. Major labels such as Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino (among others) are represented in perfectly curated sets. Each one going so far as to include accessories, shoes, and bags attached the “walls” as an ode to Barbie.
