Unison is evolving, and we love it! They’ve taken some of their current pillow patterns, like the sweet Juniper print that everyone adores, and transformed in into placemats with matching napkins. Other patterns now act as tablecloths. Aren’t you loving this?
I really like that they’ve also put so much care into finding gorgeous, very modern Finnish ceramics sold in limited quantities. Great modern offerings for Spring, very stylish, don’t you think?
These Juniper print placemats are my favorites – lively, yet tame enough for those stream-lined lovin’ modernists out there.

Say hello to my new pillows straight from Amsterdam. Thanks to Danielle over at the Style Files who blogged recently about Absoluut (that’s with two u’s and no vodka is involved), these retro babies belong to me. And no, I haven’t a clue where I’ll put them, but like most of my spontaneous web purchases, I’ll make it work. Don’t you love the texture of this fabric and the bold, bright graphics? Absoluut has many to select from, and for $25 each, you can’t afford not to find a few to perk up your space.

I purchased this mini clothesline kit from Linea Carta last night on Etsy; I rather fancy the idea of clipping some of my favorite photos, cards, ticket stubs, etc. on it to display over my workspace. And yes, I know I could made this myself, but by the time I purchased the wire and got myself completely tangled in it, I could have supported Linea Carta – her kit is a mere $4.
I’m thinking of using mine as a bit of a rotating inspiration gallery… Linea Carta also offers beautiful prints and cards, so you can start collecting her art and build from there.

I always love to peek in on one of my favorite shopgirls, Peggy Lo, to see what she’s up to over at Figments. I was thrilled to see that she has my favorite roost vases on her site, I purchased one in her Providence location last year and keep it over my sink on the windowsill, it’s so delicate and beautiful, I really love it. I have the one shown on the bottom left and keep a single bloom in it always. Currently, I have a yellow tulip, see? If you’d like one for yourself, click here to purchase from Miss Peggy for only $18.50.
She’s also offering some gorgeous journals ($17 available here) and my favorite, colorful sarongs (on sale for $48). I don’t think I’ve worn one in years, but my husband gave me one in turquoise and white when we were dating, and it usually ends up on the sofa as a throw in the summer when the wool ones are stored away for the season. I just love the patterns that Peggy has below. And because they’re so lightweight, I think they are perfect for when you want something light and cool to cover with during those breezy summer nights. You can even use them as a summer tablecloth, remember — when it comes right down to it, it’s fabric. You don’t always have to use something for its intended purpose.
