{at the shops: cinq design}

. . . much like cranberry milk, tokyo-based cinq design not only has beautiful photography & styling, but also happens to be positively filled with charmingly rustic things fit for long summer days in provence: lace tablecloths and straw hats, cheese boards, enamel teapots, cookie cutters and wooden spoons, and wicker baskets perfect for those sunlit afternoons among fields of lavender . . .

{p.s.} more at the shops:
* the society inc.
* crucial trading

{also:} more wicker:
* summertime
* paint-dipped baskets
* afternoons in the park & here & here
* breakfast in paris

{an enchanted forest}

. . . nearly always drawn to bright spaces -- white and sunlight -- that is, until happening upon these moody and atmospheric chandelier-filled rooms that feel as if you've fallen into an enchanted forest . . .

{styling inspiration: time-worn nostalgia}

. . . charming styling by japanese design studio, jamo associates, with the same wonderful, time-worn nostalgia as sibella court -- bits and pieces and memories from travels, tiny vases and slants of light, but drawn most of all to the vintage cadbury glass case, perfect for storing and displaying old and favourite books . . .

{at the office: work + play}

Have always been fascinated {and often inspired} by the workspaces of others, such as this pretty and remarkably calming and creative space . . .

Have a borderline obsession with stationery and office supplies and have been known to use only my own pens, in any given situation.

Love the Japanese styling of this assortment -- bright and cheerful, with the perfect combination of work and play . . .
