trend watch: hexagons 04.02.2013

Move over mod circles and contemporary squares, there’s a new shape in town…welcome the hexagon! Quite interesting on it’s own and when partnered with others, it makes a honeycomb pattern that feels fresh and new! We are wanting hexagon-everything from home accessories to jewelry! And check out these two home shots where the main focus is our new favorite shape!

{honeycomb necklace, retro honeycomb pendant light, honeycomb card case, stacked hexagon rings, laquer hexagon tray, hive vase, Hello Honycomb notecards, honeycomb tile silk pillow} & {blue honeycomb rug from  Inside Out Magazine, April 2013 via brightbazaar.com and honeycomb shelves}

    I love that baby blanket, but I’m not a baby, and I don’t have a baby. I’d still get it for somethin’.

    Best,
    Jane

house & home: table tonic 01.22.2013

We are loooong time fans of Table Tonic, the blog & the shop, but some of the latest shop acquisitions are just sending us threw the roof with excitement!! Kilim rugs, Moroccon pouffes in every delicious color, including some pretty wonderful neutrals, and the best selection of feather Juju hats one gal can find! Not to mention, a great selection of cushions! Every time we pop in to the Table Tonic online store, we’re reminded how much fun you can have with some great color and texture in your home – don’t you think?

On my mind: Thanksgiving Dinner 11.21.2012

I can’t even express my love for Thanksgiving properly! I freaking love it. I love the cooking, the family time, football in the yard, and like every holiday now, it is just so much sweeter when I get to see it through a toddler’s eyes. Here are a few picks for what I’d like to wear and have on the table! Cheers!

1. Weft Saturation Jacket 2. Happily Grateful Quotation Book, 3. Copenhagen Coaster Set, 4. Gaffer Decanter Set, 5. Terrain Bakeware, 6. Ingot Ring, 7. Orange Asterisk Stacking Dish, 8. Dina Suede Pumps
