Pretty Things I’m Loving…

Even though we write about home design (and related topics) almost all of the time, I always say that I love ALL design–from really cool industrial work to beautiful packaging. (Speaking of which, these new green Bon Ami cleaning products have the best labels, don’t you think?)

Here are a few things I’m admiring today…

These pretty custom silhouette necklaces from Le Papier Studio. I know silhouettes are everywhere, but I just love the idea of preserving my 15-month-old’s sweet profile in this way!

I could pretend to be sipping my coffee at a bistro table in Provence if I had these tea towels from Bochard.

(Ok, I admit that I’m crazy about tea towels these days. If you’re looking for a great–and inexpensive–way to add a bit of artistic flair to your kitchen, buy three tea towels with different but complementary styles and have them framed. Viola!)

So here’s another great source of French tea towels, particularly for wine-lovers among us. This company reproduces famous wine labels on tea towels. Tres chic.

These cards are the perfect gift for the font geek in your life. (Guilty as charged.)

And finally, how about this pretty vintage vase? Just makes me smile.
