Crystal Study No. 2 Some more thoughtful (or at least wordy) posts are coming up next week. (Also, I just realized that’s two Etsy posts in a few days. Well, I do love Etsy.) For today, let’s just enjoy the simple prettiness of these prints from Swell Papel. (More geometry, and even a little bit [Read more]
Frazier & Wing‘s mobiles far surpass standard nursery baubles. They’re exquisite works of art. Heather Frazier, their Portland-based designer, took the Blue Locket quiz this week.

So imagine a lovely shot of the peonies just opening in our garden—and a just-so-stylized one of some watermelon [Read more]
