Gingham Style

Warmer weather has us feeling preppy and picnicky. We have spotted a lot of gingham around the office lately. We’re taking a look back at some great moments in gingham, as well as showcasing a few of our favorite, checkered products.

Great Moments in Gingham

In Celebration and Support of Boston

If you’re looking for a bold way to show your support for Boston, Brendan Buckley has created pins that simply state, “Boston’s Not Afraid of You.” All proceeds go directly to The One Fund.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” —Martin Luther King, Jr.

In the wake of what happened at the Boston Marathon, our hearts, though grieved, are filled with hope as we continue to see beautiful things rise above the tragedy. Incredible stories of love, compassion, and community continue to shine like rays of light through the darkness. In addition to our thoughts and prayers, we offer a celebration of Boston and a few of its talented artists in hopes that it will add to the support of that great city and her people.

Boston, we love you!

Shelf Life

Maybe you received a pile of books for Christmas (lucky!) or you’ve made a New Year’s resolution to read more. Either way, these helpful accessories that we adore will keep your bookshelf stylish and organized.

Row One (left to right)
-These mystifying magnetic arrow bookends will keep guests guessing.
-The end is always near with this simple statement bookend.
-Flat metal bookends lend a helping hand on your bookshelf.

Row Two (left to right)

-Need a little more organization for your voluminous collection? Try these index-tabbed bookends for the ultimate in efficiency.
-All of the leather animals from this bookend collection are super cute, but we would especially love this brown bull bracing against a stack of books on our shelves.
