You would think that after the holidays I would be all shopped out … think again! Now I have to spend Christmas cash and use up gift cards! It would be easy to spend it all and more at my latest shop crushes – Alder & Co and Leif. Alder & Co is in Portland [another love of mine] and Leif is based in my old hometown of Brooklyn. Both shops are full of simple and beautiful things … how can I resist?

I love the look of mason jars. I even have one I use as drinking glass … so I was pretty excited when I saw these Jar Tops on Re-Nest!

Knowing my love for cookies and milk, my better half [Michael] told me about this mug. At first, I was like, “that’s stupid”, but then I saw it and now I want one.
The Dunk Mug – made by Mocha [UK] … available at Dwell for US readers.
