{ toast }







Thinking about this wintery assortment at Toast right now on the dreariest of rainy days. Did I mention my friend Judith works in the house and home department at Toast headquarters in Wales? Swoon!

We went heli-hiking on a glacier and I got to wear crampons with spikes. Would like a pair for New York snow days...

{ the flea }



A few photos I quickly snapped after setting up with the Design Co-op at the Brooklyn Flea last Sunday.
It was good to see Rebecca from Moontree Letterpress again and meet the friendly folks behind Maptotes. I caught up with Lena (and Gus!) at the very end of the day. Somehow, things look much more orderly in her photos!

{ photos from nz }


I know I need to post some...it really was the most gorgeous place ever. But I'm a little overwhelmed in the studio right now. I knew I'd be busy when I returned, this time of year always is and I'm still never quite prepared for it.
And now with Thanksgiving happening right smack dab in the middle of everything, I'm just ready to go relax, hang out with family, and meet my brand new niece (Sydney)!

So I'll post some very soon...I promise!

{ design co-op at the brooklyn flea }


Odette NY goods will be at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene this Saturday, Nov 21 as part of Lena Corwin's great Design Co-op. Look at the good company, can't wait!
Here's a peek at a past Design Co-op, and a little clip of Martha Stewart stopping by the Co-op a few weeks ago here!

p.s. Awesome poster is by Wayne Pate. I'm having blogger re-sizing issues and I can't get it to fill up the space properly but I give up.

{ odette ny dachshund in instyle mag }



While I was away, this little guy made it in to December's InStyle Magazine gift guide! Look for it on page 330...

p.s. Taylor Swift on the cover is just a funny coincidence...
p.p.s. Little Dachshund is making the rounds...thank you Liberty London Girl for this!

{ good package }



This pretty package from Sofia's autumn swap arrived while I was away with provisions for fall comfort; tea, chocolate, fingerless mittens, etc. wrapped neatly inside. She even included personalized bookplates and a beautiful collage. The sender, Shelley, is a talented artist and illustrator who lives in a cottage in the woods (how dreamy!) in California.

Check out her lovely blog; Oiseaux and etsy shop for her beautiful art and collages: oiseaux noir and adorable bookplates based on vintage children's book illustrations: oiseaux. Thank you so much Shelley!

{ new zealand }





A little Flight of the Conchords love today because...I'm leaving for New Zealand in a few hours!
I promise I don't normally travel this much, it just all got bunched together this year. But this one is a REAL plan-ahead vacation involving beaches, fjords, glaciers and mountains, oh my!
This city girl is in need of some fresh air, full report when I get back!
