Yet another reason to plan a visit to NYC...

The Sunday Styles section is my favorite part of the NYT.  Can't wait for the Bill Cunningham documentary to come out in March!

Love at the five and dime

My little sister's post reminded me that now that it's February, it's time to start thinking about Valentime's Day.  I'm not quite ready for pink and red hearts, but after listening to this little ditty by Nanci Griffith, I'm one step closer.  Enjoy.

Wouldn't it be nice?

When we visited my in-laws in Pennsylvania this past weekend, my sweet little three-year-old great (or is it grand?) niece couldn't stop talking about fairy princesses - Snow White, Cinderella, and all of those new ones that I am secretly proud I can't name..  Wouldn't this Laurel Denise print be a perfect gift for her? And perhaps one for moi to help me get over that I am someone's great aunt. Gulp.

A new wind blows in Freeport?

L.L. Bean's Signature Collection catalogue arrived in the mail yesterday (along with the lovely J.Crew - yum).   I was about to throw it away, but then decided to give it a look see.  While you'll find your standard Freeport, Maine fare, there are also a few lovelies tucked inside that could be great additions to a wardrobe.

East Village Oddities

My husband found Oddities on the Discovery Channel and knew this show would be an instant hit in our household.  Can't wait for a trip to NYC to visit Obscura Antiques in person.  Cow for a kitty, kitty for a cow?

Around the world

During the delay on our way back home, I caught up on email and uncovered these saucy globes from ImagineNations via Rachel Zoe. A lovely example of refaire at its finest.

The royal treatment

Loving these Royal Tenenbaum pencils from Tiniest J's Etsy shop. Might have to pre-order me some Rushmore pencils.
