Little Collector

Have you heard of Little Collector? It’s a website that offers contemporary art for children. Each print is made to order by a fine art printer using Epson inkjet pigments on 100% cotton rag paper, printed to museum standards. Every print is custom made specifically for your child. You have the option to have the print framed or you can simply order a print and frame it yourself.

Here are some current offerings:

There are so many more wonderful prints – take a look!

Loving Zulily

a. — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 16:03:32 +0000

If you have a child or need to shop for one you are missing out if not shopping at Zulily. It is the best. I cannot say enough good things about them. The selection is fantastic and the customer service is stellar. It’s a children’s sample sale website but also has stuff for mom’s too. One small note: since it is a sample sale website, it does take about 3 weeks to get your items so if you are in a hurry, be aware of the processing & shipping time. Other than that it’s a dream – you can’t beat the prices! Here are some items I bought for my daughter this week:

Classically Coco

This is one of my favorite images of Chanel by Man Ray circa 1935 – Love the Verdura cuffs on each wrist. The woman certainly had style.

The above gelatin silver print is being auctioned off at Christie’s on March 29th in Paris.

Just wanted to say a belated thanks to the talented ladies at Matchbook Magazine for including me in Issue 2! Coterie Books is a labor of love and I’m delighted to share my knowledge of books with others.

I was so excited to find this set on the Preppy Princess website and placed my order last night. I love that it has bath stuff plus the pail and shovel. A great gift for kids and the price is right at $24.50! Get one here.
