Good lord. I love the work of Christina Drejenstam so much. Watercolor + Ink + Spraypaint = Gorgeous effect. Her work appears fashion-based with work in retail, advertising and editorial. Love her style.

I did my share of mall shopping last weekend (a missed activity after shopping in Manhattan.) and ran into Bath & Body Works after spying that they were having one of their blowout sales. Got the above candles on sale for $5 and had to share. The White Barn New York line comes in so many delicious scents that are so strong for such little candles. Each candle comes in a frosted glass container with a metal lid that pops off á la the covers for the Henri Bendel candles. The labels peel off cleanly so they look fabulous in the home. I hate seeing those labels! The candles themselves are clean burning with lead-free wicks. Love.
White Barn New York Applemint, Passionfruit & Guava and Heirloom Apple candles, on sale for $5 each. (reg. $9.50)
Momomoogie is the shop and blog of the extremely talented Stella Im Hultberg. Her pouty illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, many done with ink watercolor and tea. Prints may be purchased at her shop along with wallets adorned with her illustrations, and sweet art toys.
Hello.
Beautiful work from Oliver Brinn. Delicately designed baby announcements with a vintage feel. Love all the flourishes lately and gorgeous scripts. The above are two of the four styles available. The announcements come with matching envelopes imprinted with return address and sticker seal. Lovely!
The Ella and Avery announcement styles.
I got a note from a friend to check up on the Kate Spade stationery available at Crane’s. So glad I did! I cannot begin to tell you how inspiring this collection is. The selection above of the personalized correspondence cards do not even begin to show the variety of great colors and patterns available. The cards are letterpressed or engraved and there are so many styles to choose from. I personally love the idea of matching calling cards… so chic. The gray cards above feature return addresses pressed into the backs of the cards that show through the little window on the envelope. Genius! Gorgeous stuff.
Vintage Correspondence Cards, $524 for 50 letterpressed cards with windowed envelopes. Garden Bough Correspondence Cards, $323 for 50 engraved cards and envelopes.
