WEEKEND // Warm Food on a Cold Day

It's cold and rainy in Ireland today, a perfect day for creamy seafood chowder and a chicken and broccoli bake from Avoca. 

WARDROBE // Block Shop

These are the most beautiful scarves I've ever seen (and I am a scarf addict). They are from an Indian based printing company called Block Shop run by two sisters from the United States. The company makes each scarf by hand using hand carved wooden blocks and non toxic vegetable dyes. The scarfs are a blend of Indian silk and Indian cotton. Its too bad that they've been so popular that they've completely sold out.

WALL SPACE // Animal Magnetism

 I just discovered the Animal Print Shop. I can't wait to get back to having an apartment in Toronto where I will definitely adorn the walls with at least one of these prints. I just don't know how I'll choose.

Mud Australia

Beautifully simple tableware by Sydney-based Mud Australia. Every piece is handmade so each item is unique. All of the pigments are blended with the clay giving the colours a depth not possible with coloured glazes. This little pitcher is definitely my favourite.

Embroidery and Geometry

Lovely quilt from UK designers Custhom. I love the contrast between the modern geometric pattern and the craftiness of the embroidery. Nice subtle tones too.

White Horizons

Some beautiful shots of the North American prairies in winter by photographer Michael G Zimmerer. I would love to have a large print of one of these my house one day.
