new friends, old friends

This new and fabulous Baggu polka-dot canvas tote is coming soon to ink & peat (in a few weeks!) And she's meeting up with an old friend - sailor stripe! We literally could not keep these in stock last time! So charming, a tad French, and holds anything a gal can throw at it!

proud mary

I love these textiles from Proud Mary. Bold graphic patterns made into scarves, pillows, and purses - and a fair trade company as well!

"Proud Mary was started in 2008 when owner, Harper Poe returned from volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in South America. After falling deeply in love with the indigenous peoples and brightly colored textiles she decided to combine her passions into a sustainable design business promoting social change. By providing a global exploration of textiles, Proud Mary, supports and empowers global artisans and their families while celebrating their beautiful work!". Find their work here.

busy bee

I am in love with these new cosmetic bags we just got at ink & peat from apple & bee. They have adorable patterns and coated canvas for easy use - what more can a gal ask for?!?

retro chic

How fun are these pieces from Orla Kiely? The leaf jacquard towel would brighten up any modern bath. Hmmm....where would I go for lunch with gals in this mustard wool suiting pocket dress and structured rosemary bag? I think it might involve an Arnold Palmer...

Mother's Day shopping event tonight!

blue and true

There is a lovely feature on Style Me Pretty of a gorgeous wedding we did at ink & peat last summer! Lovely photos by Rebekah Johnson. Go read the article here.

flower dreams

I almost jumped out of my chair when I got this press release this morning - Heather Moore of Skinny Laminx has just lauched a fabric line of floral prints - Flower Dreams. We carry her towels and pillows at ink & peat and I just love her sense of color and pattern - modern but quirky and whimsical. What fun!

Here is Heather's take on one of the prints in her new line: Wild Flowers
"The centrepiece of the collection is called Wild Flowers - a large-scale two-colour screenprinted design that manages to be lots of things at once: It’s a bit Japanese, it’s sweetly feminine, a little Folky, a tad popp-y, and just a little bit mad!"

fun mod finds

Love some of these furniture and decorative pieces from H.D. Buttercup. I hope to go there next time I visit San Francisco. HAve you been? Maybe it's time for spring but I can't get enough of clean lines and shades of orange!
