30 June 2011


I apologize for the delay in announcing our winners; it's the hubby's birthday today and we have had a full day: kayaking, food truck lunch outing, the gun range (boys and their toys) and now we're off for dinner!

Enough about that; on with our WINNERS... Congratulations to Joanna N., Erika D., and Erica E.! Please email me at stets@mstetson.com with your addresses and we will get these delightful greeting cards to the post a.s.a.p.!

fallen

28 June 2011

I know we just officially entered the summer season, but I have fallen in love with Madewell's fall 2011... the layered mixes of neutrals and brights, prints and patterns. Check out the full lookbook at Mama's Rolling Stone.

bound

13 June 2011

While we're on the topic of kickstarter projects, let's discuss this little puppy: Bound Custom Jounals. You can select the type of journal you need; mixing ruled-lined paper with grid-lined paper, with a calendar, with a map... This is genius.

kickstart quatro

09 June 2011

I know some very creative, talented people... designers, photographers, bloggers, stylists. Mark Caneso is a designer, screenprinter, typography designer, and just a general maker of things. I am a huge admirer his work and especially of his digital type lab, p.s.type. Oh, how I wish I designed type. His latest venture is to expand the display typeface Quatro into a 16-font family from light to ultra black and in both sans serif and slab serif; yes, please! He has created a kickstarter project to help him get there. Go check it out!

généreux to the max

08 June 2011

At this point I am guessing you have heard how Jordan Ferney of Oh Happy Day is partnering with Mama Shelter to giveaway a trip for two to Paris. How incredible is that giveaway, right?! Well, so what are you waiting for? Get over there and enter!

Dreaming of baguettes, flea markets, farmers markets, macarons, and waking up next chubaka's lit-up face...

comfy headboard

Since we showcased the photography of Miha Matei yesterday, we naturally have to highlight some of the brilliant designers for whom she shoots... Ashe+Leandro. I was especially intrigued by this brilliant headboard solution. The scale is awesome, it looks amazing with the delicate (in scale) industrial pendant lamps, and adds a warm, organic quality to the stark space. Love it!

Wow; such a gorgeous photography portfolio from Miha Matei. Love her food gallery, as well!

shipwrecked

Today's beautiful weather makes me wish I was sailing the seas, but alas, I will have to settle for mooring in the apartment instead. Shipjack's salvaged lighting and Turk's Head coasters.

latest terrarium

06 June 2011

As my succulents mature, I make clippings to feed my terrarium habit. Here's a little peek at the latest version in a simple round bowl vase.

brilliant blocks

Just came across these alphabet blocks by Uncle Goose. Cutest blocks I've ever seen. They have uppercase/lowercase, foreign languages, braille, math... so great.
