The first time I saw these pillows was 2 years ago in a charming little home decor store in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. Since then, I’ve been fascinated by these hand embroidered comfy pillows. How great would it be to have a pillow for each State and city I’ve lived in. Catstudio makes them, and now they even have dish towels, beach towels, totes and much more with this city motif.

H&M and Lanvin
I absolutely LOVE Lanvin dresses by designer Alber Elbaz. They are so feminine and modern, so I can’t even say how excited I was when I heard about his collaboration with H&M for the Winter 2010 collection.

Sur La Table sells a pack of 24 mini tart shells for $9.

A calendar for your home office, an entryway note area, a kitchen grocery list spot, or a place just to write love notes for family, a chalkboard wall can be all of these things. Moving beyond the walls, adding a chalk surface to storage containers is a great idea for the kitchen or home office. Store-bought formulas come in traditional green and black. …
