…at BlogHer! I’m leaving on Thursday and will be gone for three nights. And I’m not at all kidding when I tell you that I LOVE packing for any trip – so packing for three days in NYC is more fun (for me) than you can imagine. Okay – so I’m not going to give…

sneakpeeq: Cuffs!
Do you know about sneakpeeq? I think I got a marketing e-mail a while back, and while I never followed up with the contact about whatever freebie or giveaway or discount code she was offering, I WAS smart enough to click the link and sign up. And I have to say, I find some really fantastic and unique…
Wish List for June 4, 2012
After a year without posts (and a brief attempt at a return), I’m bringing back my Wishing True blog! Now a page on The Big Piece of Cake, I’ll use this space to write about all of the beautiful things I find online (and there are many). This will include everything from jewelry and fashion to textiles…
Fern Collection from Conroy & Wilcox
No words… Okay – one: prettyprettyprettypretty…. See more HERE!
Needful Things: Jill Rosenwald Studio
How cute is this little lamp? What about this tall one? Or this one? This would be great for holding keys by the front door (do you think anyone would get the Greek Key thing?) Probably not. So I’d just tell them. Also loving… She also does monogrammed pieces! And custom work. I could go…
Jessie Lauren Online Boutique
A little over a month ago (right before my unplanned blogging hiatus), I found a brand new blog, Jessie Lauren. Jess is a cute, young Aussie with a background in the fashion industry and fabulous taste. And her posts promised the imminent launch of a new online shop. Since I was working on something similar,…
Remember when…
…it was the ’80s and you could buy espadrilles almost anywhere for less than $10? Aren’t these cute? You can buy them HERE. For $48. I’m sure that the craftsmanship is far better than that of the espadrilles I used to buy on street corners… But at the end of the day, you’re wearing baskets…
Plümo Pretties
I bookmarked Plümo a while ago when I saw some images on An Indian Summer. There isn’t that much detail to be found about the company on the site, but it sounds like they look for original products that can’t be found in your typical retail mall setting. All from “artisans, co-operatives from Africa to…
Did you Like Natalie’s Tassel Earrings?
I thought they were an elegant alternative to the usual sparklers that are borrowed for the red carpet. Not that I have any problem with the sparkle mind you! I recently bookmarked an online jewelry shop, A Little Hamster, that works with pretty silk tassel details. Obviously not the same kind of tassel that Natalie…
Jacaranda Color
I just discovered a lovely blog, Lilly’s Notebook. One of the first posts I read featured gorgeous pictures of otomi fabrics from an online store: Jacaranda. Drawing inspiration from the jacaranda tree as “a reminder of nature’s perfect design,” this company champions natural and handmade goods by importing unique, indigenous items from Mexico, Central and…

Mother to three children (four if you count my husband), keeper of a moderately sane house, admirer of beautiful interiors and fashion that becomes more and more "young" for me, textile junkie and believer in the power of wishing really, really hard. I wage a daily battle against feet on furniture, "outside voices" inside, the ever widening chasm between now and "when I used to work," wrinkles, a lack of personal time, dust and the constant arrows that having a special needs child shoots directly into one's heart. So far dust and wrinkles are winning, but only because even the best of multitaskers have their limits.
