papier-mâché deer head

I got this newsprint papier-mâché deer head
{sans pom}
at 

West Elm for Piper's room.  

I was happy to find this video

of how the heads are made in Haiti.

Awesome.
They come small + large in silver + newsprint.
Oh and the MI AMOR wall hanging is from
Lucky Fish.

fredericks and mae's worry beads

When and if you're worried and stressed,

you should carry around your worry beads.
Put them in your pocket.
Pull out and count beads to yourself

the lunch bag + lunch bots

After a long search, I finally found THE lunch bags for 

Everett + Piper

This bag is insulated, has a nice long strap for wearing across shoulder

like a messenger or backpack

when hands are full + short handle for carrying in hand.

It has a nice mesh pocket on the outside back 

(not pictured)

+ 

also a waxy surface for easy cleaning

+

it's PVC-free, phthalate-free, + lead safe.

The colors + designs are fab.

Check out the

SoYoung site 

for lots of design choices + sizes.

The greatest thing about the small bag is

 a small ice pack

+ 

one small + one large rectangular 

(or 2 large or 2 small)

LUNCH BOTS

stainless food containers

stack perfectly.

So everything is upright.

These are great because they're 

dishwasher safe + seal nicely.

Find LUNCHBOTS 

here or at your local Whole Foods.

I am gearing up for blogshop NYC next month!

Oh the excitement!

(check out the thunder bags....my yesterday post!)

nothin' but

I'm hooked!

I found Nothin' But granola + bars at

The Westport Farmer's Market 

last Thursday.

I have been meaning to stop by the 

booth and boy am I glad I did.

The nicest gal named Jerri

makes the delicious granola

which comes in a variety of flavors:

coconut, chocolate, almond

(super yum...perfect when you need a fix o'chocolate)

ginger, lemon, cashew

+

cherry, cranberry, almond

(I sprinkled a bunch on greek yogurt + honey...so so tasty)

If you are local...you must find Jerri at 

The Westport Farmer's Market

on Thursdays 10-2pm

or if you are far

shop at the site.

cozy thing

I know come January or maybe even sooner...

I will want to be in one of these
sipping a nice hot cup of my new favorite tea.
(Is it a giant turtleneck sweater???
Are the legs + head in the sleeves???
The neck where the hands are???)

camp cot

My friend Jane...

I could go on and on about 

everything she bakes + cooks + makes.

She has the best hair.

She has 3 great kids + a cool husband.

Her house is cozy and bright.

Jane said I could share her latest greatest idea.

She wanted a place to take a nap outside...

she stumbled upon this camp cot from Walmart.

Online, the cot is $33.88 + free shipping.

I love it and would love one for our backyard.

It's so fab with her ikea pillows!

I love Jane.  

She is the best.
