Best of Lonny's Fall Issue (Celebrating 2 years!)

I'm finally putting the finishing touches on my new place and departing a bit from the modern aesthetic I purvey. Indian, Ace Hotel, Earthy, Awesome. I spent early Sunday morning lurking around the new issue of Lonny where I spied a couple pieces that would fit in perfectly. Such as;

The Altamura Armchair by Casamidy.

Lonny featured it in black on black but I love the orange powder coated frame, brown leather, and olive green cushions shown here. Yum-Yum. 2 please.

I am also going gaga for flatweaves. I have a custom one on its way for my living room but wish I had seen these guys a bit sooner for inspiration (because they ain't cheap!).

aren't they pretty?

Who hasn't been counting down the days until Target launches the Missoni collection (less than 24 hours people!!)??? Im dying over the clothes (and makeup, and scarves, and shoes...) but need the housewares too. Love these trays....

 I'm really feeling the Oly bust...

I am the proud owner of a monogrammed Fez hat (story to follow someday) that I do display.... just not this prominently. Maybe I should rethink that. 


There are more goodies but I have to get back to work. I did buy the most epic set of Moroccan woven drapes yesterday that are going to change my living room and my life. Pretty sure the purchase was inspired by this issue. Or the Pasadena heat after hours wandering Rose Bowl. Fingy's crossed the final product is as pretty as I am imagining. Will share pictures as soon as they're up.

Billiardette Table

billiardette.lead

A couple weeks ago we bought this small 10 pocket pool table off one of our local pickers. Originally we just thought it was a parlor or pub game but in doing some research I discovered it had some unusual history.

billiardette.game
Coin-operated, prohibition era, miniature pool table. 

Billiardette tables were made when pool was outlawed during prohibition. These small, portable tables were built to skirt around gaming laws in the 1930's. They were produced by approx. 15 manufacturers from 1930-1939. Ours is made of solid walnut and felt and includes slide-on-wire scoring beads, a petite cue, and a complete set of balls.

billiardette.open
An internal central retrieval system stores and releases balls when a nickel is inserted.

Dimensions:
48"W X 14"D X 35"H
122cm W X 35.5cm D X 89cm H
Condition: Very Good, Original
Number of items: 1

Item ID: 19417

Guide to Gifting - Stocking Stuffers

bay rum
This unisex after-bath-splash will put a zing in your step. I stuffed it in 2e's stocking last year and we have been minty fresh ever since!

rhino 1281_0
A welcome departure from antlers, this shiny horned fella puts a huge smile on my face.

freak out and shut down
I am all over this. Found there. Now available here.
ps - I can print it in custom sizes and colors too! (.30 sq/in)

cowboy boot1978_0
These boots were made.... well, a couple decades ago. Give the gift of green with a unique vintage treasure. More options here.

These blown glass decanters are like sculptures. Offered with Ring, Cubed, and Sphere stoppers in brass, shown, and nickel. Le Chic.

viva-juicy-eau-parfum-roller-ball189930
A combination of berries, mandarin, honeysuckle and jasmine this roll on parfum doesn't overwhelm and is small enough to never be without. A sweet treat for the bestie, cousin, niece, or coworker on your list.

Sunday Swap Meet

LB.lucky13

Sundays cold, wet weather didn't deter my favorite tradition. With half the vendors absent, and a fraction of the usual shoppers in attendance, there was a rare chance to really step back and see each and every little thing.

I bought so many treasures which I'll share later in the week in my first (of probably many) gift guides. I am in the full blown holiday spirit. Now, time to Nog......
