Dive into the conscience of a spoon collector with the book SPOON by Daniel Rozensztroch- page after page of beautiful pictures of spoons made of glass, wood, metal, mother of pearl, bone, horn, ceramic.... enamel, porcelain.... from far flung places and those close to home, from flea markets around the world to those from contemporary designers including Ted Muehling. It is fascintating to look at continual images of the same thing, only they're not the same. It's interesting to think of the hands that made each one, why someone would use metal vs. wood or enamel vs. ceramic, the different shapes and their uses. It's beautiful and inspiring. We show a few pages of the book above with some pieces from of our own spoon collection at the shop. We have just received a few new ones including the giant slotted spoon and the tiny tasting spoons.

There is just nothing like beautiful textiles. Whether it's the material in what you choose to wear or what you surround yourself with in your home- the texture and feel of beautiful, handmade pieces make for an immeasurable depth to daily life. We love the idea of fresh, clean white pieces with an addition of color- whether it's a vintage frazada or a special throw by Jeanette Farrier (shown above). The white quilt is by John Robshaw- it's one of our favorites because it is a beautiful white cotton voile that has been hand quilted- giving it a lofty feel. You can put anything with this- whether you mix up your pillow cases and shams or put a throw at the end of the bed. It's stunning. The throws and baby blankets by Jeanette Farrier are all handmade in India- each piece is one of a kind... they are so special, yet durable at the same time. I have had one for over 10 years and I love it just as much now as I did when I got it. It is used in our house as a throw... and it is also my travel companion- being the perfect weight for plane trips and a layering piece if whether is cooler than expected <3 When things are so beautifully made, they are time proof- not only does it last, the style also stays fresh and inspiring. <3
