Loving all the toys and decor from Our Children's Gorilla.

This could be cuter, but I doubt it. Dan Marty Design.

30 in Buenos Aires

I turned 30! Theo took me to Buenos Aires to celebrate! We did a lot of antiquing, flea-marketing, sightseeing, coffee-drinking and pastry-eating. My perfect kind-of trip. (Does my guy know me or what? Love you, babe!)

Doorway Puppet Theater

Love this DIY project from the June '09 issue of Country Living.

Cars Go Beep

 

Love the Cars Go Beep wallpaper by Studio Printworks in this boy's room featured in the May/June '09 Chicago Home + Garden.

Patrick Dougherty

   

I'm really into Patrick Dougherty's (no relation) twig art installations.  Photo by George Vasquez. They remind me of this (via frolic!)

Francine Turk @ Chicago Art Source

 

I was excited to see my favorite Chicago artist Francine Turk at Jayson Home and Garden's Flea Market this weekend.  Her new gallery at the adjacent Chicago Art Source is lovely. 

Tarts

I love tarts - any kind. In fact, this is one of my favorite cookbooks.  I made these tarts this week, and they both turned out so great I had to recommend them: an apricot, almond and brown butter tart (Food and Wine, April '09) and a vegetable tart from the archives (Food and Wine, September '02).

Carrier and Company

   

I dig everything in their portfolio - and don't miss their press section!

London City Gents

   

London City Gents wallpaper by Lizzie Allen.  Amazing.  From The Collection.
