Marketplace: Getting Fishy

When I was young, I had a pet fish named Hercules. He was the easiest pet. So, when I saw this fish bowl, I thought of Hercules…

And then I thought that I could dedicate a post to all things fish. So that’s what I’m doing.

Furniture: Garden Benches

It is almost almost warm enough to sit outside. I cannot wait to put my furniture back out on my deck, lounge around outside with my latte, and fall asleep on my hammock. I am made for summer. In anticipation of green garden life, I’ve been browsing through many garden-y furniture collections. In particular, I’ve been focused on intricate garden benches.

Marketplace: Moroccan Wedding Blankets

I first posted about Moroccan wedding blankets back in 2010 (here) and then again here. They continue to hold a prominent place in people’s homes and in the design community.  At one time, they were nearly impossible to find, but now they’re available in blanket and other forms in mainstream stores like West Elm and Anthropologie, and there’s an incredible number of items available on Etsy.
