Wow! here is an ultra-modern play idea for both boys and girls. From Toideloi is a solid wood, modular stackhouse. You can purchase the components separately. I love how each stackhouse encourages creativity because it's a virtual blank slate, meaning your child can make paper cut outs or use Army men to play inside these stack houses, whatever they happen to be "in to" for that week. The play set literally grows along with them:)

I adore anything made with mother-of-pearl so this gorgeous Initial Love Bracelet from the talented women behind Waxing Poetic really caught my eye. They also make this in a pendant necklace too!

Martha Stewart's Dreamers into Doers Feature
Well, I guess you could say Christmas definitely came a few days early over here at InkSpot Workshop?
I was completely flattered when Caitlin, of Martha Stewart's Dreamers Into Doers contacted me about being their "Doer of the Week". OK, it's what prompted me to get some new head shots taken if you really want to know the truth:0 Each week I look forward to reading about the new Doers of the Week and I'm just so thrilled to be part of this group.

Paper Wreath Tutorial
I spotted this Loop-De-Loop Wreath
today on the
Crate Paper Blog
such a cute read you must check it out!
These would make great handmade gifts or a fun pre-Christmas winter day project to tackle with the kids. I'm also thinking it's also a great way to use up some scrap wrapping paper, scrapbook paper or even a great use for your old Christmas cards.

Enjoy!

Ever since I first learned about momAgenda
on Daily Candy Kid's last year, it seems like everywhere I click, busy moms I know are all singing the phrases of this little black (or leopard, or fuchsia, or faux crocodile) agenda book. I went paperless 8 years ago when I started using a Palm Pilot, fast forward to today and I'm an avid Blackberry user. Now that I'm running InkSpot Workshop and my household full time, I'm starting to think this is the missing piece to my organizational puzzle:) I just picked up a Desktop Planner in fuchsia and was able to save 25%! and get FREE shipping! (you can too, click link below) Stay tuned as I plan to blog about my transition back to paper with momAgenda
Wish me luck!
One of my favorite sites to shop for fun desktop and office inspiration is See Jane Work. I recently discovered the Jonathan Adler Collection and did a cartwheel! All accessories come in several bright and modern patterns and there are sooooo many goodies to choose from! Here are some of my favorites

Several years ago my good friend gave me a Black Orchid, Timothy Jay candle as a gift. Ever since I first lit it and smelled the essences of gardenia, tuberose and wild orange, I was a goner! In fact it's the ONLY candle you will find in my house! This is the most unique smelling candle you will ever own, scout's honor. I keep one lit in the guest while entertaining and it always becomes the topic of discussion. Even when it's not lit the entire house fills with Black Orchid.
While visiting Belgium a few years ago, I discovered the {almost heavenly} shop of Santa Maria Novella. Heavenly is a word you may use to describe this line literally because their bath, body and home fragrances were originally was made by monks in Florence, Italy and in today's world they still make all of their recipes exactly the same as they did hundreds of years ago. This is a very rich line made with pure extracts, flowers, oils and plants. Back then you could not get the products in the states, so I loaded up. Now they are available online and in person from Lafco New York. The bath oils are decadent and worth every penny!!
If you haven't yet discovered the unique, layering fragrances from British perfumer Jo Malone, then you're really missing out. There is only one perfume I wear and it's Jo Malone's French Lime Blossom. I have tried layering it with some of their other scents, but I'm sort of a purist and just like French Lime Blossom all by itself. It was inspired by a "stroll along the Champs Élysées, French Lime Blossom is a romantic, full-bodied floral. The scent of sweet lime blossoms with a twist of bergamot and tarragon is evocative of the first day of spring" according to Jo herself.
