kitchen, not so confidential.
i love these kitchen prints, and tea towels from etsy shop, the house of bouton. designed by portland-based designer cassie bouton, these kitchen accessories are happy, bright and add a great big smile while you’re cooking up a storm. and cassie’s used no solvents or spirits in her hand printed flour sack towels and prints. for more from cassie visit the house of bouton.

le petite flea launches.
well, since i’m moving, and kind of going for a whole new look, it’s come time to pass along some of my vintage treasures. you must understand, it is not easy for me to part with some of these belongings. many have fond memories behind them, but i feel good about passing them along to good homes, like yours. so without further ado, i bring you sfgirlbybay’s new vintage etsy shop, le petite flea.
i’ll be adding more of my vintage finds to le petite flea, from trips to london and italy, and just across the bridge at the alameda flea market, as i go through my stash of collectibles and loosen my grip on the past. time to move on. time to purge and find new, old stuff! but you know what they say, one gal’s trash is another’s treasure. i hope you find something you like at le petite flea.

swedish style from sthlm.
sthlm is the home of independent swedish design, and features a new swedish artist every month. this month, these serving trays from the current artist in residence, Maria Holmer Dahlgren, really caught my eye! what a fun way to offer your guests a cocktail, or serve up a very happy meal.
and, these colorful cutting boards from mrs. murphy recently featured at sthlm are quite festive, too. so jolly, even when cutting onions!
i also quite adore these pretty oven mitts and kitchen teatowels from Bengt & Lotta for sthlm. swedish design that’s very snappy and eye catching.
and finally, from Lotta Kühlhorn for sthlm, these are some very cheery coasters and cutting boards, too. an apple and an orange a day!
