Sneak Peek

 I love the incredible beauty wrapped up in these utilitarian pieces. Simple lines of form and function rule and the bits that make me weak in the knees come only with time and use. I strive to surround myself with pieces that inspire but that is not to say that I want a house filled with precious objects. In fact quite the opposite is true. I want my life to be reflected in the objects around me in the most tangible of ways - look at the yellowware batter bowl below for example. It has been worn in such a way that could only be achieved over many many years of stirring in that same bowl. How many meals were started here.  This aged beauty stops me in my tracks. Perhaps not a batter bowl anymore but certainly perfect for mounds of fruit or other such unruly pantry staples.... all of these lovely things will be coming to the shop very soon. 

 Though not specifically about the kitchen~ the wear, utility and age are as evident in these pieces as in any above. 

looks for these pieces and more in the shop over the next few days 

kitchen envy

gorgeous, no?  A little bit of kitchen envy for the weak week. Such drama in these spaces. The wall color keeps the top one looking very modern and very chic in an otherwise lovely old space. Love how it plays so well off the floors. Below, that irresistible soap stone sink. Its all about the is high back splash. 
enjoy.

flowers for friday

 I cant help myself during daffodil season. They are just such a spectacular little bloom. As i mentioned in last weeks flower post , they remind me of the gardens and fields at my parents house - growing wild with daffodils and edelweiss at this time 

 it seemed like a very quick week, didnt it? Im looking forward to lots of activities this weekend - a museum, a new restaurant, and of course the flea market on sunday. I booked a beginners knitting class too and im very excited to get that set up! 

Its supposed to rain so hoping these blooms will be cheery on an expected grey weekend. 
HAPPY FRIDAY~
