Goodbye Summer

The start of the school year always brings about a lot of purging and nesting. I am always motivated to dig through the old and make space for the new this time of year! My husband Greg found this old sketchbook over the weekend. I had forgotten how small I used to sketch. I also got a kick out of my doodles -  looks like my dreams haven't changed much through the years...

Nantucket-esque setting + friend + cocktail = excellent time!

Enjoy your Labor Day!

Monogram Notetotes!

At the beginning of summer we did a little product research on monogramming our notetotes. Since the tote has a stiff shell to protect the paper, traditional stitching on the front pocket isn't an option. We tried out a transfer monogram and then sent them off to some great customers and industry leaders. We were thrilled with the feedback and especially this great blog post from Whitney English Kolb of Whitney English and English Paper Company. I just love the styling for the photos!

We are extending this monogrammed notetote for only $10 extra for a limited time. If we continue to get positive feedback, we will add it to our line! When placing your order please add your monogram information in the special instructions area at the end of the checkout process. Your order total shown will not reflect the additional $10 monogram charge. Questions? Please contact customer service!

Retailers, if you would like to offer this to your customers please contact Greg Geller for details!

I Spy...

How fun are these porthole doors? I love all the charming doors and walkways of 'Sconset on Nantucket. I spent a lovely afternoon (alone!) taking photos while exploring the houses, winding streets and almost hidden bluff walks.

It is fair to say I have been obsessed with the entire beach house set for the fabulous movie Something's Gotta Give - and in particular love the swinging dining room door with the porthole (image bottom left).

As I was reviewing my photos of these doors I remembered the fun books by Wendy French and the delicious cover illustrations by one of my all-time favorite illustrators Edwin Fotheringham (top right).

So this is really an "I Spy..." of some of my favorite things!
