The Graphic Butterfly...

Love this Graphic Butterfly Collection by Chris Waind. The nine graphic butterflies come packaged in a brushed metal tin and include a set of pins so you can put these delicate pieces of art up without causing any damage. I think they would look so cool all pinned up as a wall piece or even strung carefully and hung.

Initial rings...

             LetterRings

These stackable initial rings by Tinahdee are so pretty and delicate. I think they would look great on their own or stacked a few high. They would also make great little gifts!

Love this cocktail glass set from Furbish Studio! This would make such a great holiday gift for a couple. Just add a bottle of their favorite libation and you're all set!

Custom ties...

I love these custom ties from Tux and Tulle. Of course, you can chose a pattern or color more to your liking but I think these are great. Custom made ties are a fun and personal way to accessorize a groom, his groomsmen, or just yourself on any given day!

Cast-metal animals...

How cute are these cast-metal animal bookends from West Elm? They would make great little gifts too and could easily double as paper weights/desk mates.

Neck warming goodness...

            NeckWarmers 

I'm loving these luscious hand knit "scarfettes" for fall and winter. Sometimes I really don't feel like wearing a long, bulky scarf, so these would be perfect for just keeping my neck warm! They're made by Trisha Fern and you can find the ones above here, here, and here

Dessert Club...

                       Chikalicious

A couple of months ago I accidentally stumbled upon Dessert Club, ChikaLicious in the East Village and it was the best discovery ever! They only serve desserts and everything I had a chance to try was absolutely delicious. My favorite was their chocolate cookie eclair, but their cupcakes and puddings were also amazing. Other highlights included macarons and eclair ice cream sandwiches. So good! You can see their full menu here. I will definitely be going here quite often for a sweet fix.

Catherine Campbell illustrated calendar...

    Il_570xN.190621920

I recently discovered the illustrations of Catherine Campbell and immediately fell in love with her style. What better way to enjoy so many of her illustrations than with a desk calendar? This beautiful little calendar could also double as a piece of art for your office space. So gorgeous!
