Market Baskets

I went and checked out a new bookstore in Charleston last week, Heirloom Book Co. It's a beautiful space focusing on cookbooks with a little area in the back for gardening goods and plants. All the furniture and fixtures in the shop are for sale and I totally fell for the lighting. They are made from antique, Chinese market baskets and cast the most amazing honeycomb shadows on the wall. Perfect for a kitchen...

Wanderlust

Happy first workday of 2011! I'm so thrilled to start a new year with new goals and a new focus. I didn't get to travel much in 2010 and that's going to change this year. I (like many others) get the most inspiration from travel. Discovering new cultures and that sense of adventure...there's nothing like it. So...2011 is the year that I give into some feelings of wanderlust! Here are some goodies to accompany and inspire your travel bug.

Train Photo, Printed Luggage, Dopp Kit, 'The Travel Book', Travel Journal, Scratch Travel Map
