My Donna Wilson wish list

1. Melamine tray entitled “breakfast in bed”. Perfect for just that.
2. Rainy day throw in pink. I would love to have this at the foot of my bed to pull over us on a chilly night or for cuddling under while watching a movie.
3. Lovely screenprinted glasses. Speaking of breakfast in bed, this would look perfect with some orange juice in it.
4. I’d love to put some stalks of lavendar and chamomile in this one. How pretty would purple and yellow look together through some graphic clouds?!

Another Donna Wilson wish list:

Beautiful items for your home

Over the weekend we went to a birthday party at our friend’s house in Red Hook, Brooklyn. She made her own beautiful cake with pale pink frosting. I told her that she should create a baker’s portfolio to document her beautiful creations before we all devour them. Sunday, we hung with friends along the waterfront in Battery Park. We picnicked on chili, cornbread, orange salad and brownie bites….yum! Hope you had a tasty weekend too.

Blue Carrot Shop

Maquette reader Alexandra just wrote to tell me about her adorable shop full of delightful ephemera including this sandwich bag with cool font “delicious” that I could see scanning and turning into a giant poster for the wall. She also has a great assortment of letterpress letters for displaying on your bookcase or perhaps actually printing with. Maybe you could find your initials and print them on all of your snail mail letters? Also, just look at that cool vintage beach chair. I like it for indoors as much as out!
