danielle leigh photos
My favorite colors, blue and teal, yellow, green and aquamarine swim so luxuriantly together in Danielle Leigh’s photos, I’d wear them if I could ($25).

studio liscious' home accessories
I liked Studio Liscious’ homemade woodies (“wooden goodies” = “woodies”) so much, I had to post two. The former, a darkly-stained, undulating pair of sculptural vases/candleholders ($89) were so authentically mid-century modern, I did a double-take looking for the word “vintage” - but nope, they’re new and handmade! And the latter, a coat rack ($138) of lightly-colored plywood cut into modern shapes, I can totally imagine it hanging in the foyer of a shelter magazine’s featured loft and brownstone. Liscious indeed!

glassplay's stained glass
I knew I had to feature GlassPlay’s Stained Glass Koi ($75) the moment I saw it; the medium and motif are so ancient and classical, but the image is so modern, so simple. Perfect to welcome back the spring sun.

ele handmade's ballet slippers
It must be a vestige left over from early childhood, but I love ballet slippers. I was never terribly good at ballet, but I remember feeling my most feminine while prancing about in a pink leotard, that gauzy wrap skirt and pair of those petal pink Capezios. Long gone are the days I’m prepared to sport a skintight leotard or anything less supportive than Spanx, but the shoes are still safe territory. Ele Handmade produces beautiful ballet slippers for women - in Italy - in indoor and outdoor versions, and a slew of colors and textures. I don’t know about you, but I’d have loved silver stingray when I was 7.($50-96)

tinca design's paintings and prints
Tinca Design’s original paintings and prints come in a variety of geometric patterns - from the simple pen and ink facet shapes, to a retro style and color palette reminiscent of Picasso’s Guernica. I think “Moony” (shown) would make a great Brooklyn baby gift. ($10 - $500)
