Party Paper: Pot(Luck) of Gold

St. Patrick’s Day never gets as much attention as some of the other holidays (especially when Easter is just around the corner!), but I think it’s always worth celebrating. With a potluck (of gold), that is! Throw a little gilded gathering at work, with friends or with the kids and celebrate that pot of gold we’re all searching for at the end of the rainbow. —Kelly

Pretty Paper in the Office: Address Books

There are some things that are becoming increasingly difficult to come by. I know this because I was looking long and hard for an address book for quite some time. I realized it was a good idea to have a hardcopy of my contacts when I couldn’t recite phone numbers of even my closest friends. Luckily, there are still a few fun, quirky, and even classically stylish address books out there. Better snatch one up while you still can! – Julie

NYNOW Winter 2015, Part 4

I’m back with more highlights from the NYNOW winter 2015 market! This time we’re touring a section of the show called Accent on Design, which for me was all about texture and color, from wood to ceramics and textiles. The metal pieces – particularly all the brass and copper on display – really stole my heart at the show, so let’s start there!

1. The most beautiful copper flasks (!!) and wood candlesticks from Surname Goods

2. A stunning ceramic French press and geometric brass stands from Yield Design Co.

3. Copper hair ties to elevate an everyday ponytail from Caravan Pacific

NYNOW Winter 2015, Part 2

Next up on our tour of the NYNOW winter market – stationery! Technically there isn’t a section of the show specifically devoted to stationery, but there is a large group of stationers located within a few rows of each other on the first floor of the show – so that’s what I’m focusing on here. I’m sure you’ll recognize some familiar faces here, and I’ve got more coming up a bit later today!

2. Angela Liguori’s beautiful cotton Italian ribbons make me completely weak in the knees. Angela just released a GORGEOUS new copper addition to her beautiful metallic line ribbons, joining the most lovely shades of loose weave metallic ribbon, black and white calligraphy ribbon, and her classic solid color ribbons.

NYNOW Winter 2015, Part 1

A couple of weeks ago, I ventured up to New York for the winter NYNOW market – a large trade show with exhibitors showcasing everything from handmade ceramics and jewelry to furniture and home decor. I shared quite a bit of the show on Instagram, but wanted to highlight some favorites from each section of the show that I walked (including some photos that I took with my big camera when my phone battery died!). So to kick it all off a few favorites from the Handmade section of NYNOW!
