This "Juicy Pomegranate Teapot" is a beautiful handmade creation by Etsy seller Alina Hayes. She is offering $20 off the price of the teapot if you also purchase the creamer and sugar bowl. The perfect addition to the tea set would be some deeeeeelicious teas. Rishi Tea Company is based out of Milwaukee and seriously have some of the best teas i've ever tasted. I am currently addicted to the Tangerine Ginger and these Sweet Matchas are perfect for those cold winter mornings! I have only had the Ginger Sweet Matcha, but I'm sure they are all amazing. I just discovered the etsy shop, The Portland General Store, which is based out of Portland, Maine. With the vintage inspired packaging and names like "Grandpa's Black Fly Butter", "Grandma's Sweet Potato Pie Body Scrub", and Bergamot-Lavender Old-Fashioned Body Creme", well.......sounds worth a try to me! I think this would make a lovely gift! Aaaaand.....yes......vintage clocks and cookie jars. Someday...when we live in a bigger tree house, i'm afraid we will have to make room for our collections falling into these categories. This beauty of a clock is available from etsy seller Lune Vintage, and the amazing owl cookie jar is from Bettyninja Finds.

Happy gifting!

Some favorites on Etsy

Starting in the upper left corner we have the MOOP handmade Market Bag! I couldn't resist these little "hand" soaps by FOLIAGE...juuuust our sense of humor :) The patchwork bag by SOHO MODE is made of blue and black suede and lined with satin! I love the details (and the polka dots) on this beautiful navy bag created by Made By Hank, and this wool jacket is by RoadkiLL. Yokoo makes the most beautiful knit scarves (and takes the most beautiful photographs). I would love to sport this "English Thompson" in pony grey.

My Favorites (part 1)

Well.......the idea to have this page as a storage space for all daydreams and idle fancies has quite certainly been neglected! With the holidays only a few weeks away, and the fact that we've done almost all our gift shopping online, I just couldn't help myself from making my own "favorites" list, and this seemed the perfect spot! 

Most of these photos were taken from Fred Flare. The hamburger phone....well....why wouldn't I want a hamburger phone? I am also a huge Jonathan Adler fan, although I don't (yet) own anything Jonathan Adler.....I'm hoping someday we might have a vase or two, maybe a tea pot for our tree house. I thought we could use the David Hicks book for inspiration as well as the Vivienne Westwood book. Our friend Davinia has this book and it is amazing. We collect old cookbooks and this re-make of the Betty Crocker cookbook makes me swoon.

I've had my eye on these "I'm not a paper cup" cups for quite some time and I think a good addition to this would be the NYC paper (ceramic) cup. I wish I could afford to get these Jonathan Adler ornaments as a gift (someday.....someday.....), and this bouquet from Martha Stewart Flowers is pretty darn cute. Last, but not least, another item found on Fred Flare is this 5-year journal. I used to be pretty good at keeping a journal, but in the past year or so my journal has become more of a book of lists than anything else! I think this journal is a good idea....just a few lines. Perfect! And I like the illustration on the front :)

Happy gifting!!!!!

woolgathering?

Oh hello! yes yes...we've been meaning to explain this page! This is where we will occasionally post about things that inspire us! This might be just a pic of a recent thrift store find, a drool over our dream live/work space, or maybe just a photo of some really good cookies and the recipe ta boot! We are extremely inspired by our friends and family, so please do take a moment to explore our friend's links! 

Thanks for checking out our new page and we hope you enjoy your stay!
