comfort

'Tis the season for hearty stews and sweet squash soups. I've just picked up the latest Real Simple best recipes and have nearly the entire publication dog-eared. Wishful thinking but I'm feeling a bit domestic these days, nesting and planning. Expecting big and little changes around here in the next couple of weeks. I'm afraid I've been a bit scarce of late only to be more scarce in the near future. Sending cozy thoughts to my blogging friends and I will certainly check in as time permits. Between new baby and seasonal soups I'll be trying my best to nourish and nurture over the next few months. Be well!

sharing the love

Tooting my own horn a bit and sharing the love with a few fabulous shops. I'm so thrilled to play a small role among these thoughtful spaces and lovely designs. Periwinklebloom has recently found a home in the beautifully neutral and lush world of Line+Liv in Flensburg, Germany. The showroom acts as a gallery, simply staged and open with light, the products come alive. So excited to be well-received abroad!

Also anticipating the relaunch of fawn&forest.com, they are currently mentioned in this months InStyle magazine. Enormous gratitude to Summer for carrying my collection among a selective cast of conscientious designers.

And a kind mention by ontippytoes this month. A stylish online publication offering tips for tots, modern design, get-aways and gourmet goods. A must bookmark for moms.

Lastly, Sweet William will soon offer a few snuggly sherpa pieces to introduce periwinklebloom to the posh Brooklyn scene. Bronagh's thoughtfully curated collection features independent designers, handmade forms and delicious fabrics to layer your little one. Most of her picks use certified organic cottons and tout responsible design practices to ensure your purchase goes a long way.

Please do visit these lovely spaces making great efforts toward cozy family life and small studios. They seem to share the vision of quality over quantity with an understanding of what it means to give and what it means to create.

If you're in St. Louis this weekend, the lovely khall studio is having a warehouse sale full of delectable scents and wares for the home.

Intricate installations by Shane Waltener, 'tis the season for silky webs in cool creaky corners. These silent spaces are intriguing. I must learn more...found via the lovely sam's notebook.

neutral nursery

There are so many jaw-dropping, gorgeous sites out there to inspire our humble abodes and decorating whims. But I must share the sweetest nursery here found via the ever-inspiring vintagesimplehome. Design after my own heart, neutral and natural, layered in textured creams and raw materials, cozy forms with a splash of curious detail. I must have baby on the mind...

And warmest thanks to Angela and Gabrielle for the recent mentions of my labor of love.

beautiful billet

Breathtaking simplicity and space. Yet another Japanese shop that beautifully captures everyday items and gently reminds us of meticulous detail. The mundane refined to refresh our lives.
