oh, papa!

i love the interior styling of rosie brown. i can pretty much move into anything she’s had her hands on anytime the invitation shows up at my door. i love her online shop papa stour, too! she’s recently added over 70 new products to the papa stour collection, all created by skilled scottish artists and designers. papa stour is a fantastic mix of rustic meets handmade quaint. here’s just a few of my very favorite things, from shoe bags, and egg cozies, to deer antlers and embroidered bookmarks.






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.
