What:nots...

It's almost the weekend! The boys and I are ensconced in San Francisco airport, waiting for our flight to New Zealand. Super exciting to be heading home for a few weeks to see family and friends (and to get some much needed sunshine). Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful weekend - here's what:nots. 

Elegant photograph found over on b for bonnie.

Something to try and remember.

Clever leaf brooches printed with old photographs from Puur Anders.

I discovered Catbird's candles over at Ink & Peat last week. With notes of incense, Turkish rose, and pencil shavings (!) - Tarot Deck would have to be my favourite.

Loving the current issue of Anthology.

Alyson Fox's simple necklaces.

Looking forward to the release of Lucy McRae's short film for Aesop.

Seriously coveting this maple cutting board.

I recently heard a favourable review of this book, and will be adding it to my reading list.

And a little bit of Duke Ellington to end with.

Images from b for bonnie, Puur Anders, Catbird, Anthology, Alyson Fox, Lucy McRae, Elsa + Sam, and Alain de Botton.

Weekly what:nots...

February already...do you ever wonder where the days go? We are once again three with R in Germany for a week. The boys and I have hunkered down and between homework and study have been making cookies and watching Narnia. We took a stroll this afternoon and the first tentative signs of spring are appearing...a few brave blossoms and snowdrops can be seen. I do hope you've had a lovely week, and thanks ever so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment - they always make me smile. Here's a muddly what:nots...

An utterly stunning Amber Valletta from Vogue Italia (found via Lou Boos and Shoes).

Hankering after Terrain's maple pate board.

Stylish + comfy pentronella pants from Anthro. Their in-and-out pants look pretty good too.

Wonderful products from Aesop - loving their camellia nut hydrating cream.

Jac + Jack's crisp linens.

Stories of love and serendipity on the streets of New York by Ariel Sabar.

Timor's adorable bird, duck, or maybe a penguin...complete with hat.

And This Way of Life - a heart-breakingly beautiful documentary about the Karena family and their horses.  Espousing a simplicity of life and a recognition of one's place in the world - it's a must-see.
