New Stuff

Just finished shooting and cropping pictures of lots of our new goodies for the website.  It should be updated in the next couple of days but here's a sneak peak at some of the new things coming!

 

 

Interiors

Am a big admirer of the interior design in Firmdale Hotels.   Per their website:  "Firmdale Hotels' owners, Tim and Kit Kemp believe that "hotels should be living things, not stuffy institutions". Kit Kemp has designed all of the interiors in a fresh contemporary English style. Her mixture of colour and texture, modern and antique together with an impressive art collection, has combined to create a unique look and style."  Designing hotels like these would be a dream job!  Most of their hotels are in London but the Crosby Street Hotel recently opened in NY.

A Walk in the Hills

Decided to have a lazy morning so am feeling guilty about not taking the dog for a walk in the hills this morning -- gotta do it tomorrow - rain or shine!   Thinking about it, reminded me of some great pictures my sister took on Christmas day on our walk in the hills.

Lavender Love

Most of the proceeds from the sale of our Lavender Bundles goes to SOS Children's Villages, a charity that runs villages for orphaned and abandoned children around the world.  Thank you all for buying so many of them over the holiday season!  I was very happy to send them a donation yesterday as the organization scales up relief efforts in Haiti.

Digging Dirt

After being woken up on Wednesday night with a call about a water main break outside the store and rushing down to check on my baby (which was dry), spent yesterday watching workers dig a hole and then fill it:)

Heirloom LA

One of the great pleasures of being in the store all day, is all the wonderful people who come in.  Just got to know Matt and Tara from HeirLoomLA Catering.  They make a Lasagne Cupcake!!!!!  Love the creativity and the picture below just confirms that it is swoon-worthy!    They heard about Henry Road from my friend Lisa of Cake Monkey Bakery -- another story in sinful, creative deliciousness! 

Uber Talented Ann Wood

Ann Wood is a Brooklyn-based artist who makes wonderous, incredible creatures from fabric. A few of the great images to be found on her blog are below.
