Where has this bag been all my life? It's from Makr Carry Goods, I went on their website to look at their wallets (also beautiful) and saw this new item. It also comes in brown as well as gray...I love it!

I got distracted looking at the work of Swedish architecture/design studio TAF this morning. See more of their amazing work here.

My absolutely favorite resource for fine teas is finally shipping to the US! Check out Le Palais des Thes' new website for US-bound orders. If you're an Earl Grey fan (like me), do check out their Blue of London, it's the best I've ever had.

In case you haven't seen these...I first heard about Coralie Bickford-Smith's designs on Design Sponge. They're so beautiful I couldn't resist not passing this along. She's a senior designer at Penguin Books and recently designed their hard-bound classics as a series. Each cover has a different pattern, using a symbol inspired from the book itself, 2 colors and a metallic finish. Each one is so unique yet clearly part of a collection. See the interview on Design Sponge here. See Coralie Bickford-Smith's website here.

I saw this wallpaper in the Anthropologie catalog this morning. It's by Tracy Kendall and is only available on the store's website. She took Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and hand-stitched a passage of it onto the wallpaper. It must have a nice effect once on a wall, with the tactile effect of the stitching.
