Rifle Paper Co. iPhone Cases

We found Rifle Paper Co. and were thrilled because it's a boutique stationery company that specializes in whimsical, hand-painted designs. Husband and wife team, Anna and Nathan Bond, founded Rifle in November 2009 and it is now one of the most exciting brands in stationery. Their vibrant, unique and colorful products appeal to all kinds of customers who appreciate both modern and timeless designs.

We love that Rifle Paper Co. is a small company and all their products are made in the US. Not to mention their use of FSC-certified paper stocks and environmentally responsible printing methods.  

We especially love their fabulous iPhone case designs and think they make a wonderful gift!  Available in 4/4S and 5 as well as in one additional design (pink ombre).  Which will you choose?

We LOVE Lotta Jansdotter's New Melamine Collection!

We have always been a fan of Lotta Jansdotter and her new melamine collection is simply divine! The patterns are perfectly simple in colors that fit with any decor. The shapes of the plates and bowls are unique and very organic. The collection is designed with the Scandinavian aesthetic that we love. You'll want to use these everyday, or for outdoor entertaining. If you were looking for a tasteful set of plates and tumblers for your kids, this collection is perfect!

Tea Towel Love!

I love the new line called Studio Patro. The design aesthetic is amazing, the colors are muted and gorgeous. They are beautifully made (in America) and just get better with use. Use them to dry your dishes, wrap a baguette, protect your hands when holding a hot pan, wrap a bottle of wine, or to "decorate" your stove. We love objects that are beautifully designed and useful- they make perfect gifts! Watch this great video for some ideas!

Gorgeous New Chan Luu Scarves

I love a great scarf- there is something so comforting about it! Especially when it gets chilly at night in the spring or summer or on one of those cold, rainy days. They will dress up a plain top and add just the right amount of color pop to an outfit. I fell in love with these scarves from Chan Luu because they are subtle, sophisticated and in wonderful colors. Best of all they are lightweight, so they are perfect for summer and into fall.

Meet the Kelvin.23 Ninja Tool!

For those of you who can make and build things- I applaud and admire you because sadly, I do not have that talent! Meet Kelvin.23- the coolest all in one tool that you will love to own and give. We offer it in Ninja black and pink for you lady do-it-yourselfers! They both come in a fabulous gift / storage box. The design is all around excellent! Check out the video!
