Olive & Cocoa
January 31st, 2012 § Leave a Comment
Perfect timing for Valentine’s Day! I think flowers make such a thoughtful thank you but I don’t love sending 1800 Flowers when I don’t know a local option. Enter Olive & Cocoa! They have stylish arrangements along with other fun gifts like champagne flutes, tea lights and gifts for kids and pets.
On a separate note , I was impressed when I received my catalog yesterday (just in time for Valentine’s Day) and then saw their ad when I was reading one of my favorite gossip sites (realitytea.com.. so trashy but so fun). While this makes me feel very predictable and unoriginal, hats off to whoever their media planner is. You managed perfect timing and exposure. 
Anyway, I’m happy to know about this site and can’t wait to surprise someone with a fun gift!

Little Nest

Indulgent? Yes. Ridiculously cute? Totally! Little Nest makes child size reproductions of iconic 20th century furniture. I love the mini Barcelona chair and the Eames lounge chair.
Full disclosure, I have a total weakness for mini furniture and I did splurge on a Bert chair for Oliver and he actually loves it! He makes himself a “meal” in his mini kitchen and then brings it over to his chair and eats. It’s adorable.

MARCH Pantry
January 27th, 2012 § Leave a Comment
My Mother-in-law forwarded me their opening announcement and I can’t wait to visit the new MARCH Pantry shop on Sacramento St. in SF. The MARCH Pantry space used to be MARCH, a fabulous store that sold high end antiques. It looks like their antiques are still available on 1stdibs.com if you want to take a peak.
The new store is said to focus on “the best custom-made tables, ethereal handcrafted tableware, vintage baking equipment, antique kitchen furniture, traditional Belgian linens, all very healthy and eco-aware.”
From the pictures, the space looks fresh and sophisticated and while I’m sure it’s a bit pricey I can’t wait to visit for some inspiration!
