Happy Thanksgiving

November 21, 2007

It’s the day before Thanksgiving. I haven’t been out yet, but no doubt the grocery stores are buzzing with busy shoppers and full carts. Homes everywhere are anticipating guests and being scrubbed and polished and decorated. Kids across the country have a half day of school and many will arrive home to the smells of [...]

Ask Design Mom: Christmas Stockings

November 21, 2007

Question: Hi Gabrielle. I was hoping that you could help me because you never fail to find the most beautiful things. I am looking for Christmas stockings that are beautiful and interesting, but I am having a hard time finding anything that works. Most of my searches come up with the handmade stockings with the [...]

More Playhouses — By Guest Mom Rochelle Greayer

November 21, 2007

I haven’t worked with Kid’s Crooked House yet, but I am sure it is only a matter of time since they are so nearby (in Maine). They have a similar look to Daniels Woodland but may be more practical if you are on the east coast. They also offer themes which is a bit different [...]

Fish’s Eddy

November 21, 2007

I have been in the market for new drinking glasses for a few months. Our last set of broke, one-by-one, and I have been slow to choose something new. We have been muddling through with very small juice glasses from Ikea for a few months now. I like them, but they are really quite small [...]

Catalog Favorites — Garnet Hill

November 20, 2007

One habit of mine, when I sort the mail, is to look through a catalog and pull out the pages of the few things that stand out to me. I seem to like to edit down already well-edited collections, to just my very few favorites. This doesn’t mean I don’t like anything else in the [...]

Daniels Woodland — by Guest Mom Rochelle Greayer

November 20, 2007

This treehouse was built by a company called Daniels Woodland in California. They are, I think, one of the only companies that use recycled wood. They source tree trunks from areas throughout the central coast of California and then they hollow them out for use as the base. If you live on the opposite side [...]

Treehouses and Playhouses — by Guest Mom Rochelle Greayer

November 20, 2007

We are building a tree house where we live — we have the base platform in place and my husband and I are in heated discussions about what will be on top. I have visions of a smaller cabin (just enough that 4 people can sleep inside) and a balcony. Even though the whole things [...]

Toys via ABC

Some of the items I loved best (with Christmas gifts in mind): This charming (and useful) little suitcase of sewing and knitting materials from french company Moulin Roty. You can get it from Tree House Blue. The My Sweet Dog pull toy. By Nara [...]

Blu Dot

November 20, 2007

One of our events this weekend was furniture shopping. A most enjoyable outing when one is without one’s children. After breakfast at City Bakery (mmmmm, homemade marshmellows), we stopped at ABC to window shop for a new dining table. We have outgrown our current table for 6 — Baby Betty is starting to reject the [...]

Beth’s Farm Kitchen

November 19, 2007

On Friday, as we stepped off the subway we happened upon the Greenmarket at Union Square. I couldn’t help but notice the tables and tables piled high with these festive boxes, at the booth featuring Beth’s Farm Kitchen. Each box holds a little jar or yumminess. Dozens and dozen of jams and chutneys. Every conceivable [...]

Fun Stuff at Sk*rt

November 19, 2007

Exciting things happening at sk*rt this week and I have to share. First of all, the smart and witty and always glamorous Laura Mayes represented sk*rt at the Rice Alliance Information Technology Venture Forum in Houston. Each company there was invited to show one power-point slide and give a 90-second elevator pitch. Apparently, Laura’s presentation [...]
