This beautiful candle has a 75 hour burn time and comes in a beautiful 22k screen printed glass that can be used as for cocktails when the candle has burned.
Redraven Studios’s Porcelain Ring Bowl is a beautiful embellishment for Mom’s dresser and a great place for her to keep all that jewelry you’ve given her over the years.
This soap from Herbivore Botanicals is 100% Natural and scented with essential oils. This soap is refreshing, citrus/floral, and smells delicious. It has a silky smooth texture.
2. Moglea - this stationery company is truly hand crafted. Many of their products are hand painted and each one is one of a kind.
3. Herbivore Botanicals - while we do carry a few of their products on our site, you should check out their online store, they have a lot of awesome gift sets up for the holidays.
5. Sycamore Street Press - If you need beautifully simple holiday cards, they have them!
6. AHeirloom - beautiful cutting boards and other things for entertaining (perfect hostess gifts). This gem shaped cutting board is what I got my best friend for her wedding.
7. Red Raven Studios - we carry this ring bowl (perfect for the jewelry lover that you can’t buy jewelry for). But she also makes lots of other beautiful porcelain pieces.
8. Scout & Catalogue - we’re obsessed with this small leather marbled wallet. Beautifully handmade.
We love our Dads, and we’re tired of not knowing what to get them each year. So here are four awesome gifts (that aren’t a tie) that you can give Dad this Father’s Day.
1. Leather Catch-all - These awesome catch-alls come in 3 sizes and are handmade right here in Grand Rapids, MI. Dad can use them to store his keys, change, and whatever else he needs to keep neat. Each catch-all is made with oil-tanned leather and features a colorful suede interior. Gunmetal snaps at each corner fasten to create the form; unsnap for flat storage. $32 - $60
2. Reed Wilson Coasters - No matter where you’re Dad is from there is a coaster for him! East Coast, West Coast, North Coast and the Gulf Coast are all represented. $32 for a set of 4 coasters.
3. Oakmoss + Leather Soy Candle - One of our best selling scents is a favorite with guys. This scent is a sophisticated blend of oakmoss and leather are carefully crafted with notes of black peppercorn, patchouli, musk and citrus. Your dad might also enjoy the Sage + Cedar scent. Or get them both! $32 each.
4. Lostine cutting board- These bespoke cutting boards are hewn from maple and white oak, then finished in a rich food-safe oil. Crafted from soft hand-tooled saddle leather, the loops on each board are anchored by metal hardware to hang when not in use - functional, custom art for the kitchen made by hand in Philadelphia. $62
6. This cozy bed was the most repinned item from my Pinterest boards this week. While the image is lovely sadly I cannot give credit because searching for it lead me to a virus :(
I will always love notepads! My desk always has two or three notepads on it at any given time. Here are some of my favorite notepads in the shop currently.
1. Palm Triangle Notepad - This was one of the first notepads I bought for the shop. If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with triangles so triangles + notepad was a win/win!
2. Do Something Awesome - This notepad is from Moglea and EVERY SINGLE PAGE is letterpress printed with this inspirational saying! We also have ones that say Seize the Day.
3. Mini Jotter - For those of you who like a smaller notepad this mini jotter is perfect for you. It’s slightly taller than a post-it but still won’t take up too much room on your desk.
4. Oil Pastel Notepad - I love this notepad for it’s vibrant border but also because it has a place for you to put the subject and the date.
5. Triangle Mountain Weekly Planner - And finally the biggest notepad of them all! This notepad is a hybrid notepad/planner. I never could commit to a real planner but this lets you keep all your to-do’s for the week together in one place that you can view at a glance.
We have more notepads (as per my obsession) over in the Notepad/Notebook section of the online shop. Check it out!
5. Our candles were featured on Victoria McGinley’s discoveries this week. She did a great round up with lots of other treasures.
6. Lastly, it’s finally Peony season! Are you excited? I certainly am!
I’m headed back to NYC this week for the National Stationery Show and my younger sister’s NYU graduation! I’ll be posting finds from the show on our shop instagram. Follow along and you can help decide what we buy for the new season.
I’m loving this copper/pinkish beige tone lately. I’m coining it “The new Pink”
A while back I started a Pinterest board called Modest Fashion. It quickly became my most followed fashion board. This surprised me but I couldn’t exactly identify why.
I grew up in a pretty conservative household and I’ve always been conscious of how I dress, how much skin I’m showing, etc. To some people dressing modestly has to do with their religion or some kind of outward regulation they are following, to others it’s just a style choice.
I’d love to know what modest means to you, and do you consider the way you dress as modest?
