(skona hem via Space For Inspiration)So tonight I'm speaking on my second design panel in two weeks. Last week I was flattered to participate in the Washington Post's Fashion Washington anniversary celebration with local designer, Sally Steponkus (love her!), HGTV stars and designer extraordinaires Robert & Cortney Novogratz, and the evening's host, Mitchell Gold. I loved spending time with all of them and hearing what they had to say on trends and such. Wild how we all seemed on the same plane...which made it funny. I almost tried to think of some design controversy just to spice things up a bit :) Alas we all agreed that when it comes to design we all think that pieces reflecting the owner should be of utmost importance--personal decorating! No pics to share except one snagged from K street Kate : (K street Kate) Tonight I'll be at the Dunes, dishing on "Mastering the Art of High/Low Decorating" with Kelley Proxmire and Judith Carrig. More details here. Come by! Update: you can read about the night here. All these panels remind me of another variety that's been made a huge comeback in recent years...one that I'm naturally a little more comfortable with than its verbal twin--wood. Salvaged wood. It makes the most interesting type of paneling: (living etc) (Jute Home) Ok and this isn't technically paneling, it's flooring, but it's too awesome.

As we approach the Queen’s official 90th birthday, we republish an article from the spring 1970 edition of our Number Three magazine.
No liquid beyond water is more storied than wine. It’s the subject of literature and art, legend and myth. Good batches are part science: climate, grape genetics, yeast growth, water impurities and otherwise. The best wines are an almost indefinable art, an essence, feeling or quality that many try to bottle, but few ever uncork. To celebrate those wines that have become legendary to collectors around the world, here are the 10 most expensive bottles of wine in the world. $24,675 - 1941 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Citing its dark, deep and “vibrant” flavors, Wine Spectator in 2001 lauded...

About In this stunning addition to the Assouline Ultimate Collection, Enrico Bernardo, the world’s best sommelier, imagines the perfect cellar filled with the most exceptional wines of the twentieth century: The Impossible Collection of Wine. Weighing the virtues of rarity, terroir, taste, and historical mystique, Bernardo’s is a list any connoisseur could only dream of. To turn grapes into bottled poetry, the winemaker must be a kind of alchemist. Despite changes in technology and tastes over the past 100 years, the craft has remained largely unchanged; a great wine remains the product of countless factors, not least of which is the smile of providence. In these pages, Bernardo celebrates the most exquisite vintages around the globe, from the 1928 Krug Champagne to the 1951 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 to the 1973 Stag’s Leap Estate SLV, inviting the reader on a journey through history to savor an impossible collection. This hand-bound oversize luxury edition, featuring hand-tipped images and presented in a wooden crate, will be a must-have for the library of any true wine connoisseur. The non-uniform effect in the middle of the book can be attributed to the handcrafted nature of our Impossible Collection series. Complimentary white gloves and signature canvas tote bag are included with each purchase from Assouline's Ultimate Collection Enrico Bernardo made his name at the Four Seasons George V in Paris and was named Best Sommelier of the World in 2004. His two restaurants, the Michelin Star–holding Il Vino and Goust, focus on pairing the perfect wine with each dish—and the perfect dish with each wine. Bernardo consults for numerous restaurants, and cooperates with the Association de la Sommellerie Internationale to promote wine culture for a new generation. He is the author of five books, including How to Taste Wine (2006) and How to Pair Wine (2011). Michael Broadbent, Master of Wine, is a wine critic, writer, and auctioneer. He served as the head of Christie’s wine department for thirty-two years and is the author of numerous books.
From the late 1800s to mid 1950s, before the use of mass produced cardboard boxes, fruits and produce were packed and transported to the marketplace in wooden crates with colourful, informative labels attached to the ends. These labels were an important part of enticing consumers to choose one brand over another and this competition kept packers working to design the most appealing labels. Introduced to America by European artists, this profession became known as lithography, the first commercial art. As the fruit market grew larger each season, immense competition at the local markets erupted. Orchard owners used this new concept of lithography to bring attention to their fruit. L'Orange ~ L'Arancia ~ Orange By the 1950s, regulations and economy caused packers to begin using preprinted cardboard boxes instead of wooden crates with their beautiful labels. An American art form was lost with the crate and its label. Today, this artistry is finding new appreciation among collectors and anyone looking for unique vintage prints. I've got my own modern version of citrus crate labels and now have them available in my Etsy shop ~ a crateful of goodness. Limone ~ Citrus Cooler ~ Citron Limon ~ Luscious Limes ~ Limetta Pompelmo ~ Pink Grapefruit ~ Pampelmousse My "crate labels" were originally illustrated in pen and ink and then painted with gouache and watercolour on acid free canvas paper. I have printed these illustrations in my studio on 8½” x 11" Kodak Ultra premium high gloss 74 lb. photographic paper. The image size is still approximately 6½” x 9½” with a white border allowing for framing. The price is an affordable $15 and each print is hand signed in ink before I ship. The colour is as intense and the originals and they fit perfectly into a standard frame. Another option is to mat them to a larger format and place them in a larger frame or hang with simple glass and clips. They are terrific as a set of four, but also great individually or in groups of two or three. Citrus Cooler Set of Four Gift Tags with Natural Raffia Ties These too were originally hand illustrated in pen and ink and painted with gouache and watercolour on 140 pound cold press watercolour paper, these “Citrus Fruit” tags have been printed in my studio on Strathmore, acid free, 100 lb. smooth finish Bristol board, hand cut with a deckle edge, and are mounted on an over sized hand cut, deckle edge tag made of the same Bristol board. Generous twenty four-inch (24”) natural raffia pulls through a punched hole for tying. These are terrific for any gift adornment, charming place cards for your Spring or Easter table, or pretty cards to attach to a bouquet of posies or a gift basket of fruit. Also great for bookmarks all year long or even recipe cards. ~ ~ ~ Now for some delightful news...I am the featured seller on the Cottage Style Street Team @ Etsy this week and just found out that last week I was the featured seller on Etsy Cottage Style.

Wine glasses are a lovely thing to have around, whether you’re enjoying a glass of vino while watching your favorite TV show or hosting a dinner party for 12 people. But this kind of glassware can also be very delicate — we’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve broken a glass while washing dishes or just by setting one on the countertop a little too vigorously.

BARGAIN BRAND ORANGE CRATE LABEL. MUPU CITRUS ASSOCIATION, SANTA PAULA, VENTURA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA CIRCA 1930S. LABEL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AS SHOWN IN SCAN. LABEL MEASURES APPROX. 10X11". GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC. Original vintage commercial advertising label. These labels were pasted on the ends of wooden crates packed with oranges lemons apples and other fruits and vegetables. These colorful crates were shipped nationwide via the railway system to be sold in the local markets. Packers and growers would order labels from printing companies that specialized in this work, these companies employed commercial artists in large numbers. The artists were not paid well, and rarely received any acknowledgment for there creations. Most commercial use of labels ended during wwii due to commodity rationing and shortages. The cardboard box was adapted to ship fruit and labels were almost completely phased out by the 1950s. I will ship all items flat, sandwiched between two study pieces of cardboard. Item will arrive in excellent condition and well protected. I usually ship the same day, unless item is purchased after 2pm in which case I will have it out the following morning.
