parisian inspiration ...


Strolling through a design quartier in Paris ... spotted this amazing window spiraling above...so many possibilities spring to mind when viewing it ... the soft shades of grey for a chest ... the design of the iron glass frames worked on to a pillow ... the reflective glint of the light and murky shadows beyond produce a mirrored quality (how could that be replicated in design?)

le sigh ............ !!!

Valentine treats at Mignonne


Just in time for Valentine's Day, Mignonne is offering a new line of handcrafted luxurious body treats, captain blankenship.

A one-woman workshop founded in 2009 and run by Jana Blankenship from her home in Berkeley, captain blankenship products are prepared with organic and sustainable ingredients.

When Jana was a child she loved mixing her mom’s discarded perfume into signature fragrances like “Scents of Hawaii.” These heavily sniffed concoctions resulted in an allergy to synthetic scents, but also led to her love of smells. After starting to make her own lip balms at home and sharing them with friends and family, she quickly expanded her line into luxurious soaps, bath salts, body balms and scents. All of her products are made with organic or wildcrafted ingredients, essential oils, and a heavy dose of love.

Jana is also an artist and a curator and a lover of wilderness. The smells of the outside world tend to drive her wild, especially after it rains.

We are so lucky to have these special items for your Valentine ... crafted from a host of tantalizing scents and body-comforting ingredients....

Express your love with handcrafted soaps, perfume and bath salts from captain blankenship ... local, artisanal and one-of-a-kind!

(captain blankenship never uses synthetic scents or preservatives....only essential oils, absolutes immersed in organic jojoba oil, vegetable glycerine and plant derived colorants... )
