The Stirrup Cup...

While they are pretty darn chic... I also love the whole idea behind the stirrup cup. Traditionally they were offered to guests, filled with a little port or sherry of course, as they were leaving (and had their feet in the stirrups).

You should probably just go ahead and do what the website tells ya to do...

Noble Town Vintage!

This year, for my birthday, a friend gave me a gorgeous necklace from Noble Town Vintage... I wear it all the time and wanted to see what else they had to offer... and it turns out to be a treasure trove of gorgeous baubles!

And I love their adorable packaging. Not gonna lie... I'm totally a sucker for packaging

Check out their etsy shop

Can't put my finger on why I love them... but I do... I love these 'foks' scarves from Celapiu

Sorry it's been so long.... check out Trove

I'm back! After a very busy season for my company, Poppies & Posies, we are finally beginning to slow down a teeny tiny bit. Whew! So sorry I've neglected the blog.... Anywho.... just had to share this amazing wallpaper from Trove Studios.

This is probably my favorite wallpaper of all time... I think it would be fabulous in a guest bathroom; with all the little opera box people staring out at you... very cheeky. Loves it!

And this in a dining room with only recessed lighting..... in a black ceiling.... I really need a house to redecorate!

Check out all of the wonderful wallpaper (and more) at Trove. They're also being featured at the Cooper-Hewitt through January.

Illustrator: Arthur Rackham

It's been awhile since my last post... mostly because I've been working so much! Last weekend my company designed a wedding at the Illustrators' Society here in New York. It's such a beautiful old building and all of the rooms and hallways are lined with fantastic illustrations. For the wedding's centerpieces we printed illustrations by the bride's favorite illustrators on vellum and wrapped them around candles. We then placed the candles around the peonies, Juliet roses, and mint we arranged in vintage bottles at the center of the table. Each table was a separate illustrator. One of whom was Arthur Rackham... one of my all time favorites. When we get photos back from the event, I'll be sure to share. It was absolutely gorgeous!
