i heart brooklyn designers: Perch!

There are a few things I love about Amy Adams, designer for Perch ceramics….1) her products are handmade in Brooklyn 2) She went to Pratt (go Pratt!) and 3) her pieces are totally cute, functional, and make great gifts!

I’ve already gotten the small perch basket for myself and keep it near the kitchen to drop my ring in on the rare occasion I wash some dishes It looks great next to my Pamela Barksy piggy bank…

Mixed Greens Gallery

Did you know you could register for art at my absolute favorite gallery, Mixed Greens? Getting a Leah Tinari would be WAY cooler than getting a crystal swan.

Fifi-Lapin

Here’s something I found on Etsy a while back and had to post because I’m completely OBSESSED! Fifi Lapin is a little rabbit out in the UK who wears the most stylish clothes (Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, just to name a few) and sells original drawings of herself in them for only $40. $40 for an original drawing? Who does that?? Little do people know, that Fifi will happily wear any outfit of your choosing and send you the picture at no extra cost. After I finally picked out my wedding dress, I jumped at the chance to have a drawing of Fifi in it, and its absolutely lovely. I’m waiting to hang it until after the wedding, so its hiding in a safe place for the time being (i’ll post it when the time is just right). What a great gift for a bride or a bridesmaid! I’m planning on having another one made later on to give to the designer as a gift for such a beautiful dress. Fifi also has a blog you should definitely check out.
