We are overjoyed by all the wonderful books we have received... and it's such a lovely time of year to be discovering new reads and sources of inspiration :) Shown above is Short Stories by Paolo Ventura (an incredible book- a made up world with backdrops and scenes all made and orchestrated by the artist - inspired by a beautiful light he discovered in a barn he was restoring- after a bit of the ceiling caved in)... The Delicious- A Companion to New Food Culture (a wonderful book about new restaurants around the world)... Autentico - Cooking Italian the Authentic Way, by Rolando Beramendi (an incredible cookbook - beautiful photography with an emphasis toward elegant, fresh, simple (in the best way) recipes - some that we've tried and can say were delicious!!) ... and The Skirt Chronicles (a biannual publication based in France with interesting articles on art and fashion.

Cherry wears our white raglan shirt and white gathered skirt. We love to wear white year 'round. In the winter it looks great to wear a white ensemble with black wool stockings and either a jazz shoe or a short riding boot <3

There is a special world of colorful wonders and unexpected moments - the world of Nong Rak (young love in Thai), a design and vintage studio created by our friends Cherry and Home Phuanfeuang. We have wanted these two original minds to interpret, play with and imagine an atmosphere around our own small clothing line- and the time came this summer when we sent our pieces off on a trip to visit them. We sent the box and they created magical lands around our pieces. When we received the photos, it felt like pulling the ribbon off a present- as the contents were completely unknown and a wonderful surprise. Opening them one by one was hugely exciting and we love what they created. Cherry and Home mixed in special pieces from Nong Rak- like the 1960's Chinese butterfly kite above, and others we will share as we post more pictures. Thank you for looking- we hope you enjoy!! <3
To keep up with Nong Rak, you can follow their instagram feed- @nongrakvintage
Also, we want to thank you - our friends, clients and collaborators - for your support of our collection. We have been overwhelmed by your enthusiasm, kind words, and orders <3 We hold all of that very close to us - it means so much. We see it as an evolving project of different parts, always open to new explorations. Love to you all!!!

We are very happy campers when our children's book selection is brimming with incredibly beautiful books that ask important questions like "What color is the wind"... and teach us how to write and continue writing if our "mind and heart go blank"... stories that lead us only by pictures, requiring our imagination to make up all the details not written... poetic explorations of nonfiction worlds that help us get a bit more excited by all the facts... books about shapes- one in particular called "The Wing On A Flea" !! - in which we can learn that a triangle is an admiral's hat or a bandit's bandanna. The world opens up and takes us way in these magical lands existing under the cover. We say us, because we include ourselves in the captive audience enjoying and treasuring these special books.
