We are working on some changes here at the ranch — and as you can see, things are a wee bit of a mess. We will get it straightened out as soon as possible!

elemental pendant

winnow & sift — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 05:48:00 +0000

Bamboo can grow three feet a day. The United States produced more than 110 million tons of steel last year.

Despite this profusion, a square of bamboo framed in stainless steel can feel rare and precious.

This striking pendant is a good reminder that worth and value are often as much in the intention as in the raw materials.

leaf tray

winnow & sift — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 08:20:00 +0000

I love the feeling of stillness and the monochrome tranquility of this patterned tray. Perfect for a Valentine’s breakfast in bed.

Made by a family-owned company, too.

100 bucks from elsewares

vintage valentines labels

winnow & sift — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 13:23:07 +0000

Sweet vintage valentines labels to stick to wherever you choose.

Isn’t it great how all things super-sticky-sweet, that might be borderline saccharine or cloying in other circumstances just work in vintage?

Set your inner mush-ball free!

9 bucks from magic cabin

The unexpected material — cork — elevates this bowl from simple to stunning.

wild soap

winnow & sift — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 21:14:25 +0000

I really love this soap. It doesn’t smell soapy at all — but like the forest. Woodsy and fresh and natural. I wish this were the way I smelled naturally, but I don’t, so I buy this soap.

6 bucks from Juniper Ridge

measure by measure

winnow & sift — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 14:43:57 +0000

A theory I am working on: flakier crust through better taste in kitchen implements . . .

Simplicity and ornamentation in perfect measure, how could these lovely measuring cups not result in better baked goods?
