Isn’t this cool? Nature is pretty amazing.

Thinking of adding an architect-style lamp to either side of the bed. A few options, arranged from least to most expensive, top to bottom:

Antique Pewter Pharmacy Desk Lamp from Target ($29.99)
Vision Max Full Spectrum Architect Lamp from Walmart ($33.88)
Hi-Light Task Lamp from PB Teen ($79)
Architect’s Smart Technology Table Lamp from Pottery Barn ($149)
Atelier Task Accent Lamp from Restoration Hardware ($249)

Isn’t this ring beautiful? Simple and classic, but with a twist — I love how thin the metal is. It’s made by a company called Bario-Neal. And bonus! All of their jewelry is handcrafted in Philadelphia with reclaimed precious metals; ethically-sourced stones; and low-impact, environmentally conscious practices. Reminds me of our little friend from last week!

What do you think — a little break from last week’s valentines? And while we’re at it, how about a little break from the winter blahs, which are definitely starting to sink in here at Casa P&P. Didn’t we move to the South for warmer weather?!*

These lovely images from Gabriel.Ryan.Photographers are just the ticket, I think. The portraits are beautiful, especially the one above, but it was the ship details he and his wife captured that really struck me. They remind me of the island off the coast of Maine I visit in the summer — elegantly nautical, coolly chic. See more here!

*Um, no. We didn’t. But warmer weather was supposed to be a nice byproduct of the move!
