Hello Sandwich Handmade Stationery Workshop
These little envelopes make my heart go pitter patter and I can only dream to be in Tokyo this week for Hello Sandwiches' Handmade Stationery Workshop! They'll be making super cute envelopes (just like these), lined with patterned wax paper and decorated with seals, labels and stamps! They'll also be making original letter writing sets which can be photocopied for future use and envelope holders with pockets. Oh Sandwich, can you come here? If you're lucky enough to be there and wish to go, click here for details. So fun!
NEST
I love the idea of a bean bag but have never seriously considered one because of the fabric they are usually made of. But I love these super soft eco-friendly ones coming out of the Netherlands and a shop called Zilalila. NEST is an extra large cushion, hand knitted by the skilled women of a fair trade production unit in Nepal. Available through Sukha (out of Amsterdam). Via Design Mom, Via Handmade Charlotte.

Discover Artemano...
If you've been following my blog so far, you must have noticed a recurring theme. I often stress the importance of injecting character and personality into your home by adding elements that are a departure from the rest of your decor such as lanterns, barn doors, bold patterns, textural fabrics etc.. Another way of incorporating warmth into your space is by introducing a few unique pieces of distressed furniture that look like they've been handmade by an artisan. True antiques usually come at exorbitant prices and I've been on the hunt for a store that provides beautiful handcrafted furniture that is accessible to people with a more frugal budget. Enter Artemano, a one of a kind boutique filled with unique ancestral furniture that is sure to bring warmth, interest and character into your space. I appreciate their wide array of products and price points.
As a whole, the store feels exotic/zen which is personally not my style however; selecting one or two pieces from Artemano and integrating them into a neutral/linear room that lacks character definitely makes for a winning formula... Try it!
Here are a few of my favorite pieces:
