Spartan

Spartan is a beautiful housewares, furniture and lifestyle shop in Austin, Texas with outposts at Voyager in San Francisco, and Beam and Anchor in Portland. I am delighted they are now carrying khW Jewelry.

Jill Wenger at Totokaelo just sent me these images of her brand new store in Capitol Hill, Seattle. It looks as spectacular and perfect as her venerable site. The store will offer the amazing clothing and accessories they’ve become known for, along with — what I am sure will be — an unimpeachable collection of furniture, lighting, linens, ceramics, vintage textiles, rugs, objects and art.

Stepped into a corner of heaven on Sunday — a horse ranch in Leona Valley.
Thank you Gretchen!




This collection of rare, abstract Tantric paintings originates from French poet Franck André Jamme’s journey to India twenty-five years ago. They are presented together in the book Tantra Song from Siglio Press. Discovered while poking around Agnes Baddoo’s awesome blog.

Come to The Annex this Friday for a libations-shopping-music event. I’ll be there with pals Samantha Grisdale and Rachel Craven, among other talents.







Recent photos of the house from a shoot for Design*Sponge. Enjoy!




More moments from Magasin Général (by Anaise and LMNOP) which ended on Sunday with a nostalgic Irish Coffee at The Buena Vista.

Echo Park Craft Sale this weekend

Through the window of Casbah Cafe, an all time favorite.

The bathroom window at RTH, a store where everything is pitch perfect.

Purchased this cup (not around the corner from our house, at Echo Park Pottery HQ) but miles away at Gravel and Gold in San Francisco.
On a tangential note: watch a fantastic short piece on Peter Shire here.

At Busy Being in Austin. Looks good.
