i find the vintage shops at etsy to be an interesting addition to the bunch- i’m eager to see how it works and if prices will raise with interest like ebay. in the meantime, i’m digging this little vintage tray at nice’s shop. it’s only $16 and available right here…enjoy! [there's only one so order quickly if you'd like it]

i’m loving these pen and ink trunk drawings from the quiet revolution. so pretty…

casanova is a fantastic (relatively new) danish shop that carries modern home design with an eye for scandinavian products. the owner’s boyfriend emailed me this weekend and explained (since the site is in danish) that they definitely offer shipping overseas as well as e-commerce for those of us in the states. despite being in danish the shop isn’t really that tough to cruise around. if you click a few times it’s pretty easy to find furniture, lighting, etc. i personally loved the ligthing selection and was thrilled to see so many yellow pieces- a nice bright yellow light sounds perfect right about now. you can click here to browse casanova’s collection and shop online- enjoy!

i love hot pink right now. i can’t get enough of it. thankfully for ac i think my obsession will be short-lived and won’t find its way into any permanent home decorations. but these hot pink rose placemats at rockett st. george are too cute to ignore. pink? and translucent pink at that? be still my heart. click here to grab these hot pink beauties…

just a reminder about updates at ds* on hg today: a post on the jaanus orgusaar’s work, two affordable under $100 finds and two splurge-worthy things we love.

we’ve talked about kiki van eijk before but i wanted to add a few pieces that i hadn’t posted before. i’m loving ceramics with highly textured, almost chunky detailing these days so kiki’s “laced” and detailed vessels are right up my alley. they were produced in 2004 so they were definitely ahead of the curve (it seems like the dutch are always ahead of the curve). click here to see these pieces and view the rest of kiki’s collection.

i first discovered céline saby’s work when i visited french touche last summer. she makes the most wonderful lampshades that excude a sort of boho meets asian style. recently she added a collection of lamps with woodland/mushrooms themes on that that remind me of jill bliss‘ work. each one has such a playful vibe and plenty of color to perk up a dark corner of your home. you can view céline’s work right here or here at french touche. [you'll need to email to place an order and once they arrive just drop it off at your local lamp shop and they can switch out the wiring to work with us systems. i did that with a lamp from french touche and it only cost $25.]
