Somehow a catalog from King Ranch Saddle Shop ended up in my mailbox, and this leather iPad cover with notebook and pen holder looks like a perfect gift for a corporate/sporty/or rancher dude. $156
The Portland Collection by Pendleton
October 6, 2011
Pendleton Woolen Mills, a century-old Pacific Northwest company known for it’s Native American inspired blankets, rugs, and apparel, has teamed up with three Portland-based designers to debut a more fashionable line–The Portland Collection–which still embodies the classic heritage of Pendleton. It caught my eye in a few fashion magazines, and when the new Anthrolopolgie catalog arrived, there is was again.

“Favorite Throw” Is Seriously About To Be Your Favorite Throw
October 4, 2011
I was at a meeting at a friend’s house this morning, and we decided to sit outside and enjoy the crisp fall air. As we moved outside to her patio, she came out with a basket of the most deliciously comfortable throw blankets, which seemed like lightweight cashmere. The friend I am writing about happens to be one of the most stylish people I know, so I’m thinking the blankets probably came from Barneys and no doubt cost a fortune. Wrong. They are from West Elm, and are you ready? $29 each. They happen to be appropriately named “favorite throw.”

You can find it this weekend at The Dallas Flea, and after that via her website, Paradisedesignco.com. To revisit my first, long ago post about her imaginative designs, click here.

Anorak Bedding, Sleeping Bags, etc.
August 6, 2011
Another phase I am looking forward to? Sleepovers. And sleeping bags. When the time comes, I’ll be buying them from Anorak.
The modern animal prints are also available in bedding.
And trunks.
And all types of bags (use this one for the beach!) And a lot more.
Dirt Flowers – Dallas
July 13, 2011
Passed by the lovely new downtown storefront of Dirt Flowers today and fell in love through the window. I would have taken a photo, but some child I know was not cooperating. You really need to check it out, but in the meantime, here are a couple of bouquets from their website. The modern arrangements in the window were of the sunflower and succulent variety. Looks like a much-needed addition to downtown. They also do weddings and home arrangements. And there is a Bishop Arts location.

How can you not instantly love a store called Howl? Check out the story:
And some of the creations:
Thanks to my friend Jackie of VOD who constantly fills me in on her worldwide discoveries and adventures. I was literally zooming in and studying all the photos on her BlackBerry from Howl. Very Austin. Very cool.
