I love the simplicity and fresh design of Catherine Holm kitchenware. I would love to have a couple of pieces for my kitchen...  eBay?

SCOUT & CATALOGUE

Gorgeous wares from a new to me Etsy shop Scout & Catalogue - based in Toronto. Proof that amazing photography sells products.  I'm swept away by the images on their website {and definitely wouldn't mind adding a couple of their scarves to my wardrobe}...  so lovely!

ON ANOTHER NOTE...

check out this deliciousness:

To me this is the requisite Valentine's Day "box of chocolates" updated and perfected. Yes, please!

Theo Chocolate is an organic, fair-trade, game-changing, award-winning chocolate factory based in Seattle and distributed everywhere! (at least in the U.S.)  You can also find the delectable pictured here online at Terrain.

SPREAD THE LOVE.

Loving this print by Spread the Love - seen on Etsy.  Their shop is full of really great posters, calendars, cards, etc.  {I've posted about them before here.} Check them out!

HAPPY THINGS.

succulent terrarium 

A couple of weeks ago I spent a day at the Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco.  So many amazing vendors and handmade goods.  My craft fair partner - a.k.a. my mom - said she wanted to buy me a little gift while we were there and as soon as I saw the Planted table that was it.  Afterall, how long could my love for succulents and terrariums go unrequited?  So now this little beauty sits on my bedside table and provides me with joy on a regular basis.  I know - kind of amazing from a little plant, no?  I highly recommend creating your own.  I know I plan to have a few around the new apartment...

Planted is part of Chandra Abel Designs - an event floral design firm located in Orange County.  Such beautiful work - definitely check out her website.  She loves what she does and you can certainly tell. 

And for more beautiful images and sources for terrariums, check out this post over at SFGirlByBay...

CURRENTLY COVETING...

These shelves spotted over at desire to inspire...  not sure where they are from, but I desperately need something like this for my growing collection of books and assorted treasures.

SPARTAN

I just discovered an online shop called Spartan and fell in love with this locket that they carry from Trois Petits Points in Paris.  So stunning and THE perfect treasure to give a special lady in your life {or a treat for yourself to celebrate how brilliant and amazing you are}.  They also have really beautiful, simple utilitarian products - a few of my favorites here:

Old letters.  Found some par avion striped envelopes here that I might just have to order...

RIFLE PAPER CO.

I have been seeing a lot of Rifle Paper Co. products around lately and have fallen in love. The vintage look combined with fresh color combinations = perfection. I think I will buy the holiday postcards this year - so cute - but am also loving the recipe cards. Great gifts!
