A Few Friday Favorites

1.  I love a round cutting board (especially one with a brass handle).

2. This reclaimed teak rocker personifies the perfect balance between modern and classic designs.

3.  A two-tone draped jumpsuit to wear at [just about] any summer gathering. 

4.  Simple and elegant this bedroom beckons all nappers.

5. A mixed metal bracelet to wear on its own or combined with others you already own. 

6.  For the brass obsessed (as in me), these pencil sharpeners.  

7.  The Hitchhiker Clog by Rachel Comey (someday I'll get my feet into a pair of her shoes). 

8. With the fleeting fig season upon us, this smoothie is right up my taste buds' alley.  

Out And About: Suzuki Bean

I get very excited when new shops open in my neighborhood, especially if they are unique small businesses.  Suzuki Bean is just that.  It's owned and operated by Joji, a photo stylist, who has an eye for detail and a love for repurposed items.  She fills her store with jewelry, furniture, tableware and art, all of which is either someone's past treasure or originally handmade.
