good morning! ac and i just got back from montana and i’m trying to jump back into life with internet and phone connections (it was so nice to be without them for 10 days). after days of living outdoors and trying things i never thought i would, i’m now happily pouring through the emails and submissions i’ve missed. thank you for all your kind notes and honeymoon well-wishes.
i wanted to start today off with two pretty pieces that have been sitting in my inbox for a few days. first up- beautiful new ceramic lanterns from alyssa ettinger. i almost always love alyssa’s work and these new designs are no exception. i have a weakness for ball jars (we drank out of them every day in montana, yay!) so i can’t wait to see these hit stores- click here to contact alyssa about purchasing.

next up is a beautiful new chair from molly at chairloom. her intern, jacqueline quinn from the moore college of art & design designed and hand made the fabric for this chair, using water-based ink. her beautiful fabric sure does this craigslist chair justice. click here to shop this design and all of molly’s other furniture makeovers.
