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.

Biscuit Bags

 

This collection of biscuit bags and accessories based off of English biscuit tin classics made me smile! The range includes the Bourbon, custard cream, jammy biscuit, digestive, cookie, and gingerbread man. I appreciate how subtlety designed they are, you’d really need to be within a few feet to notice the detailing and be in on the joke.

Futagami Key Rings

 

OJI Masanori and YAMAZAKI Yoshiki collaborated to design these solid brass Futagami key rings that are meant to make everyday life easier. Choose from three shapes – round, square, and hexagonal. (Tip: Place your house key closest to the plate, making it easy to find.)

Chuchu

 

Most would say millinery is a dying art form, but not Chuchu. The Hong Kong-born, New York-based creator makes most of her headpieces from paper! Her work has strutted down runways, been spread across the pages of high fashion magazines, and attended the chicest parties. (I think I’d have to display mine prominently after wearing!)
