While going through links this morning I saw that Designer’s Library posted about the Hotel Des Arts in San Francisco, California. Loved it so much I had to post about it too. Some of the rooms in the hotel are painted by up and coming artists from the area. There’s a gallery online of all the artists and room 201 above by Kelly Tunstall is a definite standout. Also see the rooms done by Damon Soule, Maria Gillespie, Jet Martinez and Eric Orr. Love this place.

Abigail Percy is a lovely jewelry designer with a fabulous Etsy shop. Her work is so lovely, great shapes and use of materials. I love the historical outline stuff as well as the things she does with pearls—so simply. Absolutely gorgeous stuff… I am bookmarking for constant revisits.

Smythson of Bond Street has some great leather travel accessories in the greatest colors. I love the above travel wallet with all the separate pockets for departure ticket, arrival ticket, passport, and ID. The personalized passport cases are so adorable as well, I like how the silver stamping looks on the cover. Beautiful.

Grace posted about Osborne & Little today and I totally was feeling the patterns she was showing. When I visited the site I was happy to see tons of patterns available in varying styles and colorways in textiles and wallcoverings. I also love the furniture by Michael Reeves… oh, so lovely.

I received a wonderful email from Robert Mahar of Mahar Dry Goods and after visiting the shop I had to post about it. The items available are all handcrafted by artists, designers and crafters for children. There are some really luscious things available… I especially love all the stuff that’s done in felt. One of my favorites is the Celebration Suitcase that contains a felt piece of cake, a little plush “I Eat Cake” monster from Fishcakes and a gorgeous one-of-a-kind card made from vintage children’s book illustrations. Beautiful!

I love the freedom to choose at Freddy & Ma… you choose the bag shape, fabric and detailing and they’ll produce it for you. The variety of patterns available is astonishing as are the patterns themselves. The website has a fantastic interface that makes it quite simple to order. I love it all… gift certificates would make great gifts for bridesmaids. (via Outblush)
