A Few Of Our Favorite Decor-ations.

Feather vase, from Brooklyn Rehab.

Modern mobile, from Marco Mahler.

Magnetic spice rack, from Salt City Spice.

Pink picture frame, from Emma Shirley.

We love to decorate our apartment. In fact, I can envision a spot for each of these fabulous items (as I'm sure many of you can too!). Of course, we're partial to feathers, geometric shapes, spices and a dab of pretty pastels--but if we listed all of our favorite home decor items, we'd be here all day!

Part of our week long "Featherette Favorites" series. And since this week was a bit shortened (due to my bicycle crash), this will be a two-week special. So stay tuned next week for more of our faves!

A Few Of Our Favorite Finds.

1960's post office box door, from The Fancy Lamb.

1960's, Mexican copper enamel trays, from Mascara Jones.

1930's lithograph advertising label, from Daily Memorandum.

1950's apothecary lab glass bottle, from Lackluster Co..

If we listed all of our favorite vintage finds, this post might be 2 miles long. These are simply a few of our current faves. Although, we must say, the post office box doors may just be the most awesomest vintage find ever!

A Few Of Our Favorite Cuts.

"Crocodile Scales", giclee print, from Farouche.

Axe print, from In Haus Press.

Geometric notebooks, from Pawling.

3D card with glasses, from Wit And Whistle.

I love the immense creativity behind each of these designs. Plus, I'm a sucker for silhouettes, geometric shapes and patterns, clever color arrangements, and of course, 3D viewing--so naturally, all of these tickle my fancy!

Theme Of The Week: Featherette Favorites.

My favorite food is homemade macaroni and cheese. It forever reminds me of the summer picnics I used to frequent, back in Virginia (think June, sweltering 95° heat and you get the gist). True, I hated the hot weather,  but I loved the food: fried chicken, greens, casseroles, and of course, macaroni and cheese. Yum!

This week, we'll be spotlighting a few of our handmade / vintage favorites--favorites that take us down memory lane, spark innovation / creativity, or simply make us smile. We'll also share a few more of our favorite foods and recipes too.

Rubber Stamp Nirvana.

Hand-carved Kurt Cobain stamp, from This is Just to Say.

Just discovered an awesome shop out of Stockholm, Sweden: This Is Just To Say. I love the geekery and playfulness of their hand-carved stamps. I dig 'em all! But I especially favor the "Happy Whatever".

We hope you've enjoyed our "It’s A Small World" series this week. Have a wonderful weekend!

Show Your Bones.

Paper ribcage with heart, from X♥.

This reminds me of a project from my 2nd grade class. Everyone had to create a representation of the internal human body--my choice was the rib cage. Long story short, my mom basically made the entire thing, and I ended up being grounded for not doing my homework. I did get an "A" though.

Tickling The Tiny Ivories.

Vintage (tiny) grand piano music box, from Maison Paulette.

All that's missing is the tiny sheet music! But I'm sure this little music box, from Maison Paulette still belts out quite the tune.

Theme Of The Week: It's A Small World.

Let's face it, tiny is cute. Miniature is cute. And for that matter, most things of small stature are cute as well. But there's more to tiny, small and miniature than just plain cuteness.

This week we'll explore the world of all things small. Miniature and tiny are coming along for the ride too.
