Le Owner: Yay or Nay?

I'm having a hard time deciding if this little ottoman is actually cool and useful or just trendy and an eye sore? Thoughts?

Le Owner: Lighting

These are kinda good in that simple and modern way, though I don't buy a lick of the 'Caravaggio' based marketing lingo on the product page...

Le Owner: Totally Sweet...

Such a loving sentiment. More here.

Le Owner: Obnoxious Mom

SITE is about to turn two. God. Where does the time go? I'm really not sure. It's already time to talk lease renewal, I wonder if the carpet tiles aren't ready for a face lift, and maybe, just maybe I need to paint again? Oh. No.

Like any good mom, I'm throwing SITE a big 'ol party, cupcakes and all. I've got my fingers crossed for three amazing trunk shows (please!), so watch here for more party updates.



We've been getting in, as the kids say, hella merch these days, and the store is packed with some pretty cool things. Wanna see pictures?

Emily: Yay!

The sun came out!

Emily: Why I love Moo

Nancy turned my on to this site Moo, based in London that grabs images from Flickr or Etsy (and other places that do not concern me) and let's you make your own printed materials. My pictures show a set of postcards that I ordered to send to my customers to thank them for their business.

Le Owner: Kinda in love..

How pretty would this be in a femme little powder room? I'd switch out those candle sleeves in a quick second- maybe some kelly green or aqua ones?

Or, what about these kinda cute lights for the kitchen? Available in lots of colors, but the blue really hits home for me.

Emily: stupid winter!

It would seem that the weather is taking its cues from the market...I took this picture in the front yard yesterday and it was cold and dark and rainy. It looks like a black and white, but it is in full color, folks.

Le Owner: Yes, Please

How completely amazing is this necklace?

Le Owner:

I've started a new blog! Come join me over at Economy This!, where I'll be talking about small business tips and tricks in 'this economy'.

Le Owner: Heartbeats Make Me Happy.

Kinda cool. More here.

Le Owner: For Em

Eddie Ross (don't know him? More here) started a new Etsy shop, and I'll bet there's lots for Em to enjoy.

Le Owner: Hide/Unhide Rug

I'm totally mad for this....if money were no object i'd be clicking and ordering one now for my Living Room...

Le Owner: Bye=Love

I'm totlly madly in love with the paper art of Yulia Brodskaya. More here.

Le Owner: Dutch Kills

From the uber well known bar owners of Milk and Honey, a private bar that needs membership for entrance, comes Dutch Kills. Named after the area of Long Island City where it's located, DK's interiors are rather intriguing to me. I'm loving the dark and brooding ambiance all that wood creates, but the sawdust back room for live music? Uh. No thanks.





As with lots of other bars these days, the speakeasy effect is in full force here- no clear markings to the bar. This really is the front door!

Emily: Cars

Okay, so I promise not to post about Etsy all day...but.....

I love these little Avon cologne bottles, they are the man version of that yellow birdie perfume bottle you sold at SITE, to Heidi if memory serves....

Emily: I love these prints. Period.

I was thrilled to discover these vintage prints, which I just posted to my Esty shop. Graphic, perfectly colored and playfull, my favorite part is how their titles are a simple statment with a period; "Coulds." , "A Dandelion." and "Stilts." Love! Love!

Emily: My vanity

Le Owner: Balloons

Have I ever mentioned I have thing for balloons? No? Ok.

Le Owner: What I'd Do With Ten Million

I have always wanted a loft, duh. But a loft that was once a church or school house is high on my list....

behold, the best way to spend about ten million dollars in the SF Bay area!

Le Owner: New Ad!

I'm having a little Valentine's sale at SITE online. Also, doing some additional ads, this time over at More Ways To Waste Time!

Le Owner: Kinda Good Flowers

Leave it to Martha to make something typically so gross into a really great resources. I found myself needing flowers fast, and was not disappointed at the selection of Martha Stewart floral in her signature containers (above( over at the mostly icky 1800Flowers...
