Valhalla Brooklyn

Valhalla Brooklyn designs and makes beautiful handmade leather bags. The color options are perfect - cement, grape, espresso, teal, deep blue, petroleum green. I love the fact that every bag is convertible. You can wear it as a satchel, shoulder bag or cross body bag. I've had my eye on the 5-Pocket Willow Bag in Cement for Spring and will definitely be purchasing it soon!

Modern Paper Ornaments by Kissa Design

I would love to adorn my home with these beautiful handmade modern paper ornaments by Kissa Design. Kissa Design describes these paper star urchins as "a modern twist on a cherished holiday tradition, a handmade Christmas tree star ornament or Polish folk art harvest decoration often called a porcupine ball." I love the simplicity, crafted from just paper, but with such skill that a unique and eye catching work of art is created. I also love the variety of colors available. You can essentially hang these in your home all year round, simply rotating colors as the seasons change. The colors below would be perfect for the Autumn season.

Reusable Wine Totes

With summer in full swing, I find myself bringing wine when I am a guest at bbq's, picnics and beach parties. This has now become a weekly routine so I've decided I need a reusable wine tote. I started looking for one and the selection out there is amazing. Here are some of my favorite finds, one of which will soon be accompanying me to the next summer soiree.

Self-taught photographer Susannah Tucker takes beautiful photos which she then offers in coordinating sets. I love the look of photos displayed as a cohesive group. I suggest visiting Susannah Tucker's shop. She has some gorgeous prints that are so perfect for summer, many of which are currently on sale. Here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

Myan Photography

While browsing photography on Etsy to include on my Picture Wall, I came across the beautiful photography and art of L.A based artist Myan. My initial plan was to only include black & white photos and art on the wall, but after seeing Myan's beautiful work, I have changed my mind. I will instead display a majority of black & whites and include one or two brighter pieces for an added pop of color. I also like the idea of bringing in a bit of West Coast culture into my East Coast home. My husband plays acoustic guitar so I think he'll really love the first photo below.

I recently stumbled across The Aida Coronado Collection, a beautiful collection of authentic Mexican clothing, accessories and jewelry. It is described as "full of romance, sweetness, whimsical details, is indie, hippie, chic, ethnic, bohemian, natural, boho, LOVES Frida Kahlo, retro, gypsies, magic, fairies, the 60s, 70s and also the 80s, is full of handmade embroidery, dreams, colors and LOVE." And it's true - all of these words come to mind when you look at the beautiful colors, patterns, textures and fabrics. There's even a collection of boho wedding dresses which you can see on their blog. Enjoy!

Fly With Me Photography by Elizabeth Ray

I purchased the beautiful Love and Peacocks print by Elizabeth Ray and as you can see in the first photo below, I have it hanging in my home office. The black & white print looks amazing against the dark mauve wall. The wood gallery frame, in antique white, is by Pottery Barn. This will also give you a glimpse as to how my home renovation is now coming together. I am finally at the point of accessorizing! Elizabeth's shop is full of beautiful prints. I've selected a few of my favorites below. Enjoy!
