If you’re in the Los Angeles area be sure to stop at Hennessey+Ingalls Bookstore. It’s the most incredible book store, filled with art, graphic design and photography books… and there are 2 locations! Samsara Woodblock Patterns is full of fabulous stuff to use in your work. What a great resource! Hmmm, what can I create…

These beautifully crafted heart river stones from Amenity are a great way to tell someone you love them or are just thinking about them. And what is really cool is that when you buy one, money goes to Haitian artisans. Loves to my loves….

These pieces from Wisteria are so cool! What a great way to add some color to your kitchen or a splash of sophistication to your boudoir. This mirror is so beautiful, and they have different styles so no matter what your decor you can find something to match. What to buy, what to buy…

If “life is the bubbles under the sea” then I am going to do what I can to make it bubblier on dry land. These ocean life inspired items from Anthropologie and Taigan will bring that bit of whimsy to any home and will look so cute in mine. I can hear the waves roll by now…

These totally cool bags from mar y sol are a collaboration between artists and artisans. They are hand-made from sustainable materials. The colors are gorgeous and they aren’t overly expensive. I’m going to be broke by the end of the year…..

With these stylish watches you will be begging people to ask you that question. WeWood watches are beautiful, sophisticated and eco-friendly. These watches are made from materials reclaimed from unused flooring scraps. They have no toxic chemicals, the color of the wood is its natural shade, and for every watch you buy they will plant a tree. Next time you see me, ask me what time it is.

Recently, I visited Pigment a wonderful shop located in North Park, San Diego.They custom design and install these incredible wall gardens. Obviously they are perfect for the city and small spaces, but honestly I’d love to have the whole side of my house done like this… my girlfriend suggested getting one for the bathroom. The store is also filled with great gift giving ideas. Lovely!

I often discover wonderful things in the middle of doing research for a big project. I was looking for some inspiration for a new Hummus project when I came across this wonderful painter/illustrator. I contacted Anna to see if she’d mind having us show a few of our favorites… she takes commissions and the beautiful paintings are quite reasonable. I am already planning what I’d love her to paint for me. Illustrated paintings by Anna Kipervaser inspired by her travels to the middle east.
