Pink is the navy blue of India.

"When fashion editor Diana Vreeland famously declared that 'pink is the navy blue of India,' I imagine she said it with more than a twinge of envy." - Remodelista

What We Love Today: John Derian

Some great new pieces, now in stock.

Behold, the bathroom of my dreams.
But only if I had no stuff. And never needed a mirror.
And liked to imagine I lived in a mental institution, circa 1953.

Those floors. I die.

A cement (?) sink??! A kitchen lamp? Yes please.

And that's what I have to say about John Derian.

What We Love Today: Small Things in Other Small Things

I have some serious hoarding tendencies. My poor little 5 year old son has inherited this unattractive trait - I noticed it yesterday when he refused to throw out a very ripped, crappy Thomas the Train birthday hat. Oy. Sorry kid. The best I can offer you is to teach you the joy of sweet, little containers in which to contain your treasures. Hoard away.

John Derian Letter Tray, $165

What We Love Today: Dishes Lined in Gold (of course)

Why shouldn't you keep your bobby pins in a dish lined in gold? Seriously.

Also, as I witnessed this weekend, they make a great birthday gift for the gal who has it all. Right FB?? ;)

Gold Lined Porcelain Dish, $20

Lilac Wine.

The color of Neko Case's walls, offset with the black lampshade, really speaks to me. When my husband was little he thought purple was a mystical color. I think he still does. I've always loved a certain shade of lilac, and violet even more, but thinking of my husband as an 8 year old, channeling creative energies in a purple tee shirt makes me love these shades all the more.

The Sound of Winter

This icy weather is making me want to brew up some cinnamon hot chocolate (I just made that up) and watch The Sound of Music with my kids. I have never actually seen it! However, my young son, shown here about 2 years ago, seems to be quite smitten with it.

Thanks Refinery29.

More delicious flaves right here. Also check out some of our favorite non-jewelry gifts under $100, right here.

Mirrored Steps

I can not focus today - at all. One day I want to do this to steps in a house that I will one day own. One day. Maybe that day I will focus. 

Mirrored Prisms - a multi media experience!

New from The Wild Unknown - mesmerizing hand made mirrored prisms with a soft-sounding bell inside. Listen as Leigh shakes it and hypnotizes you into a relaxed state of being.

Mirror Prisms, $65

Almost there.

Right, so I've got the Wild Unknown prism and the stack of books. Now all I need is the Louis Vuitton steamer trunk to perch it all on.

What We Love Today: Native American Plates

Finally back in stock: ceramic plates, perfect for collecting those bits and bobs, printed with beautiful. sepia-toned photos of Native Americans. A catbird best-seller.

Beautiful Room

This room is total perfection to me. (No idea where it's from. It has been sitting on my desktop consistently for over a year, inspiring me.)

Holy Hot Pink Macramé Batman!

Thanks design*sponge for totally agreeing with me that nothing beats neon pink macramé holders! 

This image is actually from my living room. See, I fell so hard for these that I bought one before we even had them in the store. I couldn't even wait one week. Available in the store. Email for info.

See the design*sponge feature here.

Niceties

Finally, linens fit for the laundry-hater. Or, for the party-thrower who lives in Brooklyn and doesn't want their food encrusted table linens sitting in the laundry basket until they haul it to the laundromat, hungover and wearing an evening gown (read: last stitch of clean clothing). Also makes a stellar gift.

pads of 50 disposable placemats, $22, multiple patterns available in store

Sneak peek at the renovation!

True fact: the chandelier is from Elizabeth Arden's walk-in closet.

2 AM shot, while we were still working. Note the beautiful Hefty bag.

We re-opened this Saturday! We are feeling so great about the super snazzy new space, and our lovely customers seemed to feel the same way. Please come by and say Hi!

p.s. Mark your calendars: we'll be having a little cocktail party on Tuesday April 12th, from 4 to 7 that will be sponsored by Pernod Absinthe. Details to come.

HHH's Acquisitions.

Our favorite whale (other than Fudgie, of course), looks proud to be in such esteemed company.
Whale Scrimshaw Box, $44

Back in stock, floaty as ever.

These glass encased feathers (how do they DO that!?) were enormously popular last year. This year, to minimize bloodshed, we got more in, and we got them early. But don't let those words lull you to sleep. Act fast - they will be gone soon. $9-19

Magical mystery tour

Moroccan tea glasses, $9 (in store only)


Today is my birthday, you see, so if you walk by the shop and notice a girl in black luxuriating in a zebra chair, feet up, drinking magical looking libations, pay it no mind.
