Giveaway: domino, the book of decorating

I bought this book as soon as it came out and I still reference it for ideas - most recently for curtain and color inspiration. I was so sad to see domino go and will miss the little surprise-party feeling I got when I saw it in my mailbox. This book is a testament to the beautiful, talented and thoughtful work for which domino came to be known & loved. Simon & Schuster has generously allowed me to give away two of these books to you, my lucky L&H blog readers! Just leave a comment below by this Thursday, April 2 at midnight. I will compile a list for random.org to do the drawing and announce the lucky two winners on Friday. Good luck! And thank you, S&S.

And because the shipping is on us, we're only able to ship within the US.

Jeff Tweedy

We saw Jeff Tweedy play a solo benefit concert this weekend in Beacon, NY. Man oh man, do I love his solo shows. There's something about the atmosphere at a solo performance that just makes me so happy.

See one of my favorites here:

With Thanks: People Stylewatch

Thanks to People Stylewatch for featuring our note cards in their Easy Eco piece! Many letterpress printers use soy-based inks. Perhaps too wordy for the spread is that the paper we use for our note cards is 100% wind-power produced and 100% carbon-neutral. And unrelated - but I just have to mention it - this is my favorite layout of our note cards in a publication. Often they are photographed alone and standing up - and sometimes the color is even off. Not here. I love the pattern play and overlapping of cards. I suppose that goes along with their "easy" look for the page - but I also think it highlights the cards nicely. Well done and thanks, People.

Happy Birthday John!

In honor of Wilco's biggest fan - or at least the biggest one I know - on his birthday, a favorite print of mine from the crazy-talented Nate Duval.

From his biggest fan, hap-happiest Birthday, John!!!!!

Vintage Wallpaper

I took a trip over to Second Hand Rose yesterday to source some new vintage wallpaper. I didn't find anything that fit my specific project, but there were so many I wanted to come home with. Above are just a few.
