BIGGEST Sale EVER

Blue Foulard throw pillow is NEW!

Flowers & Twigs Blue bolster pillow is also brand new!

And I do mean EVER. Plover is on One Kings Lane today with a MASSIVE sale—the first time we've put our bedding on sale at these prices. Quantities are very, very low, so if you've been coveting anything from the line, now is the time to buy!

We're also unveiling our brand-new line of throw pillows on the OKL sale, so check them out. We'll have them up on our site next week. These throw pillows are a steal—100% organic cotton twill with a removable insert., and only $29/each during the sale!

Also featured: Virginia Johnson's amazing textiles (which I can never get enough of) and the understated chic of Cristina Dos Santos' linens. Happy shopping!

Simple Song

I've been listening to and loving this song for many months. (Even my 2-year-old knows all the words by now!) Anyway, it's a super exciting day now that everyone can hear it. I hope you enjoy!

Right Now! One Kings Lane

Unframed Pierre Kittler gouache, 1968

If you read this blog post in the next 3 days and 9 hours, go to One Kings Lane immediately (!) to check out their sale on Docantic, Inc. vintage goache pattern prototypes. You could spend hours browsing the sale and looking at all the patterns close-up (if you're anything like me). Or, if you act quickly, you could actually purchase some. (I confess I just spent way too much money, but it was too tempting!) But if nothing else, go for the inspiration.

Best of Recycled Ornaments

I'm a sucker for Christmas ornaments, and every year I add to our collection with some vintage ones, some my kids have crafted, and handmade ones I'm lucky enough to find in Portland. The selection here of handmade and recycled options is amazing. But what's exciting to me is that this year, the range has expanded online and anyone can get their hands on beautiful, special and sustainable holiday decor. I hunted around online and put together a list of some of my favorites. If nothing else, let this be some DIY inspiration...

Pointy Paper Star made of recycled magazines, at Worleys Etsy shop, $13.20

This Pine Cone Garland from Worleys is not an ornament, but I love it so much I had to include it here! $7.80

Recycled glass bottle ornament by Dean Wolf, $32

Shotgun Santas at Etsy, $4 (thanks, Great Green Goods)

Finally, something to do with champagne corks! Chunky Snowman Ornament, on Etsy, $4.75

Recycled Tin Tree from Crate&Barrel, $3.16

Having a Pendleton Moment

Harding Cardigan at Anthropologie

This Pendleton carry-along blanket is available at Shopbop

The crazy holiday shopping season has begun for me. (A little earlier than usual, which I'm proud to say as a proven procrastinator.) But so far I haven't seen much out there that I want for myself, except for this cozy piece of eye candy from Pendleton's Portland Collection. This I could live in all winter. My husband probably wouldn't be so into that, but that's no reason not to get it!  

Not to sound like a mouthpiece for Pendleton (it's so hard not to be a huge fan!), but I am also getting a bunch of the carry-along picnic blankets as gifts. Who wouldn't be happy with one of these? They're practical and chic, and at $88, very reasonable. A fell in love with them when I saw one on the floor of Leann's car in Philadelphia (thanks, Leann!)...which is just where they belong.
