warm up

Nos Da Throw/Blanket, via Horne

As the chill gets harder to break, I continue my blanket/throw search. I still haven't been able to make a commitment (quality v. price v. my-unwillingness-to-spend-over-$100-for-a-throw). I'ld rather not succumb to the usual suspects, but when it comes to price, it's hard to avoid. I'm keeping my eye out on these lovelies, maybe there is a sale in their future?

Hibernia Blanket, via Toast

These MacAusland blankets are really at the top of my list. They're quite a bit cheaper if you buy from them directly, as I learned from Katy Elliott's great blog. And nothing helps me make a decision like a testimonial.

soft maps

Ah, blanket season. I love the idea of these map quilts by Haptic Lab, especially as a baby blanket.

art of mcsweeney's

The talented folks at McSweeney's have published a nice book chronicling the quarterlies 12 years of super book design. If you haven't seen their books, I advise you order a subscription.

It can be purchased through Chronicle Books. Here are excerpts from the book over at Sight Unseen. Here is a nice little vid too.

nice identity

Love this identity for Berg & Berg. Check that personalized stamp!

best cinnamon roll ever

While in Kansas City for a bit of a mini vacation during the Fourth, we ate at a great breakfast joint in the Crossroads District/Crown Center area, You Say Tomato. The perfect cinnamon roll, a warm up with icing added.

I'm loving this Jack & Marjorie Alcott tote spied on Belkina. Available here, on sale for $170.

I'm really taken with this cover design spied on Book Covers Anonymous, one of my favorite book design feeds. I think I may need to purchase it.

our garden

Gratuitous garden shots. The pollen has been kicking my ass, as it does every year, but I can still enjoy the garden and all it's new blooms.

There's D, in all his garden glory.

I bought this bakers twine from Divine Twine, in yellow, for Sun's Valentine's Day party favors. I was wondering how else I would use this large spool of left over twine. Well, of course, thanks to D who used it to tie up some homegrown oregano for drying, so cute!

harlem @ the riot room

Caught Harlem at the Riot Room Friday night, and they did not disappoint. Wasn't really sure what to expect from the post Hurricane scene, but it was good for people watching (unfortunately didn't grab a good shot of the dude in short shorts and a fanny pack).

Nice, big marching band kick drum? Okay.
