Sponsor Spotlight: Huset

Posted in: ..sponsors

One of my favorite lines of dinnerware by Gry Fager is at the fabulous Huset, and I venture over there to daydream about owning it quite often. But that is nothing knew for Huset, because they carry so many lovely items, that I am sure they get loads of daydreamers everyday.

I love these plastic woven rugs, and I don't know what this moose's problem is but I've got to have her! Growing up my mom always had a Carl Larsson print hanging in our Kitchen and every morning as I was eating my breakfast I would just stare at it, imagining what my life would be like if I lived inside it.

Sponsor Spotlight: Human Empire

I decided after spending sometime over at Human Empire it would only be fair to think of what I would like for my husband to wear. I love sweaters on men, no not Mr. Rogers or Bill Cosby sweaters (sorry guys) but boat captain type sweaters or jackets. And please let it be fitted…no thanks square shapeless coats of doom…I like to see what my husband is workin' with. So here and here are my picks for my husband this winter.

And no, I did not forget myself – that would be ridiculous. Here and here are my picks for me and I am also loving this and this as well. Okay so I might have spent a tad bit more time shopping for me. I am weak.

Blue Hour Designs is a handmade modern silver jewelry shop, the creation of Alysia Sánchez Melnikov. I think jewelry making is fascinating and you can see glimpses of how Alysia does it on her blog. Did you know that she uses recycled and reclaimed sterling silver and gold for all of her jewelry? My picks (pictured above) can be found here and here.

You can find more of my picks here and here. You can also purchase Blue Hour Design's jewelry via etsy or her website.

Laura Di Francesco's work is so whimsically peaceful that it makes you feel light, safe and happy. This print and this print are especially sweet, and I can't help but love this print as well. Since I've been living in the country for several years now, I find that art that depicts nature in soft serene ways really resonates with me because it is what I experience out here.

Sponsor Spotlight: Wall Paint by Number

Posted in: ..sponsors

Num1

Let me get this straight – I can submit a picture to Wall Paint by Number and they'll convert it into a color by number pattern on wallpaper, to which I then get to paint it whatever color I want to? Can you say AWESOME! I love stuff like this and honestly – what a unique idea. Since you all already know my total obsession with my bulldog's – an idea like this to me is like one more glass figurine to an elderly lady – I MUST HAVE ONE!

T1

Above is a picture of my two bullie dogs – I could use this one, but I might try for a new shot of them since the possibilities are endless. Also if the idea of painting all those numbers feels daunting, Wall Paint by Number offers a "pre-printed" option in which your masterpiece arrives already finished.

Sponsor Spotlight: Moop

I am not sure what is more adorable about Moop, their bags or their awesome studio. Either way I am a fan, and I am currently crushing on their Very Useful Tote (now in brown or sage) and their Market Bag (provincial blue is my favorite).

M2

Though I typically gravitate towards larger bags, like the Porter – I find that a smaller clutch would be a lot more useful in certain situations and think the Letter Clutch would fit that need perfectly. I see that Moop is offering flat rate holiday shipping right now and a 10% off code (tinymoop).

Sponsor Spotlight: Bee Things

I just spent quite sometime staring at Bee Things gallery section on their website. Their use of color is gorgeous! Above are two of my favorites from their shop, and below are my favorites from their gallery section. My only complaint is that I would like to see some actual bee prints, but that is only because I have a very very soft spot for bees.

BT2

I was happy to see that Bee Things sells holiday cards because I've got my eye on this one, and did you see their snack sacks? That is such an awesome idea, it makes me want to pack my lunch even though I work from home.

Sponsor Spotlight: DA Custom Frames

Posted in: ..sponsors

DA1

I was excited to see that DA Custom Frames was one of our sponsors on Bloesem! I have been a fan of David's work for several years now, and the walls of my home are filled with his frames.

I was glad to see that DA Custom Frames now offers Bikle Mirrors because I was just saying to my husband the other day how hard it is to find a mirror that is both handsome and affordable. Yes, I like my mirrors to be handsome, not so much pretty – too much scroll, gold, or color and I start to feel like a Disney Character.

DA2

I am currently crushing on their red bikle mirror, but there are so many styles to choose from – cove, distressed (my personal favorite), stacked, traditional and the best part is "custom" isn't just in their name to sound fancy, it actually serves a purpose – if you can't find the frame size you need DA Custom Frames will build it for you.

Sponsor Spotlight: Emeeme

I have a confession to make, I don't wear jewelry. I just never have, the one exception is my wedding band and I guard it like smeagol. My mother never wore jewelry, so I just grew up not thinking about it…until today, when I had so much fun looking through emeeme shop. 

Maria does such a lovely job and I really think her jewelry designs are perfect for those looking for a classic touch or something with a modern flare.

Em2

I am crazy loving Maria's red resin beads and bow necklace and have picked out a few other favorites (which are pictured above) here, here, here and here. What? I said I really enjoyed looking through her shop and I meant it.

Sponsor Spotlight: Mengsel

Fabulous pillows are hard to fine, I would know this because I have spent hours and hours trying to find some for my couch. There is a lot of pressure that goes into picking the right pillows for a room, because they can determine the feel of the space or not, depending on how awesome the pillows are. Lucky for us, there is a sweet little spot on the internet called Mengsel.

SS1

Mengsel doesn't stop at pillows, they've got gorgeous prints and tea towels too. One of their latest prints is of two robots in love – yes, robots can love and my favorite print is the whale in olive green. Even Mengsel's gift voucher is adorable, which means I must have one of those too.
