LOVELY LITTLE FIND: CASA DEL AGUA

It is not a strange occurrence to find yourself surrounded by water; after all, our bodies are composed of 70% of this very lovely substance. Water plays such a major role in our everyday lives, that we run into it as soon as we begin the day. I was fascinated though, when I ran into the beautiful project of Casa del Agua. Located in Mexico City's Roma neighborhood.

This delightful water dwelling offers sophisticated filtration technology that brings forth artisan water that is pure, fresh and beautiful. Each lovely glass bottle is produced with great care, using the standards of Casa Del Agua, whose goal is to evoke and appeal to all which is well-made, and represents all that which is valued for what it is, and not for what it pretends to be.

LOVELY LITTLE FIND: CARTA INC

Recently I came across the delightful items featured in Carta, Inc. Owner Angela Liguori has curates beautiful ribbon, and vintage postage stamps and glassine envelopes. I fell in love with the Italian tight weave spools and I can't wait to place an order. Interestingly enough, I bought a bag of vintage stamps a while ago through a stationary purveyor, but I never visited the actual source, so I was delighted by this little find.

LOVELY LITTLE FIND: KONTOR KONTUR

Not too long ago while organizing a closet, I found a little pouch with random items of a single color, and I was taken back to my adolescent years, when I would collect and group objects with similar hues. For some reason I found this very delightful, and running into the color grouping project by Kontor Kontur reminds me very much of this old practice of mine.

I love all of the color groupings as they each evoke a different mood and inspiration; however, I find myself drawn to the beige and brown hues; which translates very well into my current style/preference.

I found a similar color coding project done for Warby Parker and their summer crystal collection.

LOVELY LITTLE FIND: GLEENA CERAMICS

I first came across Gleena Ceramics when looking at a set of beautiful pink summer bowls custom-made for Sunday Suppers and numbered 1-18 for their eighteen guests that evening.

Asya Palatova is behind these beautiful creations and she shares that her inspirations come from childhood summers spent at her grandmother's dacha, a Russian country house. Her designs are simple and organic, with a very classic touch.

I am in love with these beauties and would love to have some made with No.1524 perhaps, what do you think?

LOVELY LITTLE FIND: EAST OF INDIA

I am inspired by the branding simplicity for  East of India office supplies.  Raw materials cleverly displayed and packaged to give new life to commonly used desk items. I would gladly handpick one (or two) of each for my work space, and if you wonder where these beauties may be found, go ahead and visit their shop.

LOVELY LITTLE FIND: DAYLESFORD

As Christmas draws closer, I hope that you have been able to enjoy a good cup of hot cocoa, listen to festive music, sit by the fireplace and write to your loved ones; if not, it is never too late, go ahead and enjoy this season which should always bring joy to our hearts.

For those of you pressed for time, I can certainly relate, and this year, I am gifting all my loved ones with an awesome certificate created by my dear friend Anna; as I find that often, the gift of time is what we all really have at the top of our wish list.

It is common that while you seek for perfect little gifts, you may run into a little eye candy, and today I would
like to share a lovely little place in Gloucestershire: Daylesford Farmshop. I find it quaint, yet minimal and updated, and I only wish I could stop by and enjoy some of their goods. Their online shop is currently closed for the Holidays, but maybe next year you could stop by.

I hope you have a beautiful week and remember to stay in the spirit. xoxo

LOVELY LITTLE FIND: TIFA MADE

I am quite excited to have found this wonderful idea of making and delivering sandwiches and cakes using the cutest pink bike and a vintage suitcase. 

Tifamade rolls down the streets of Paris offering her lovely treats. I love the detail of the colorful plastic little spoons and the stamped paper bags holding yummy and very healthy treats. I would love to eat one of these for lunch today!
