letters.

yesterday, a letter in the mail from one of my very favorite people. nothing pulls at the heartstrings quite like a typed-up letter, does it?

other things:
* love notes.
* a gilded alphabet.
* letters on transit street.
* new york diaries. what's a diary if not a letter to yourself?
* my new favorite pens. in brown and grey.

tisane de tilleul.

a cup of linden tea on a quiet morning.

the right thing for easing into the day. even better for easing out of it.

cedar birds.

found in a box of old things. wintry inspiration for a tiny space.

* winter scenes caught on film.
* a seriously impressive list of hot chocolate recipes.
* my tribute to the stars.
* and this piece, which i've been thinking about non-stop since sunday.

night sky.

in reverence for winter's dark skies, a tribute to the stars:

* this special-edition calendar via allison. $5 from each purchase goes here.

* the new york premiere of our friends' amazing film, the city dark. go see. 

  there will be telescopes and stargazing post-film. and me.

* these necklaces by julie. 

* these embroidery kits. {and best wishes that jessica gets back soon}.

* the place i got my first honest-to-goodness view of the night sky. more here.

* these favorite words from shanna.

* this backwards zodiac.

go find some darkness. look up.

holler & squall.

in between picking up champagne and cornichons for our new year's eve festivities, james and i popped into neighborhood shop, holler & squall. it was as lovely inside as the view into its windows suggested and i'm currently coveting woolly blankets and the warm glow from wee vintage lamps. yes, even more than usual.

other things:
* a quirky source for edison bulbs in nyc.
* a smirky article on edison bulbs in nyc.
* more woolly blankets.
* and this gorgeous sweater. because.
