Orla Kiely Kitchenware

Have we mentioned how much we love Orla Kiely?  We discovered these delectable earthenware jars in the kitchen section. Sadly, these only ship in the UK, but all the luckier for our British staff and clients. Perhaps we might come to some arrangement with our UK connections?

But there are charming offerings for everyone.

Just a little taste. Visit orlakiely.com for more.

Orla Kiely Fall 2010

Since it always feels like fall here in San Francisco, we are more than ready for Orla Kiely's new fall line featuring oversize buttons, peter pan collars and bows galore!

New York Gift Fair

We just wrapped up exhibiting at the NY Gift Fair - it was a little quiet given the economy (crickets..!...tumbleweeds!)...but that's okay because we still got lots of inspiration and made new friends. Plus it's always great to catch up with our fellow designers/small biz owners and the wonderful independent boutiques that carry our cards. There's Chun Yee (intrepid founder of our London office) and Sabrina in our booth...

We were completely smitten with Pikku's new stationery - it's a beautiful combination of pretty, mod design, gorgeous letterpress and hand stitching. That Valerie is so talented - everything she does incorporates pretty textile-inspired details...

Pikku was also showcasing these lovely silk-screen wood wall calendars. So cute!

Angie and Ted of Poketo were there with their super-nip line of t's, plates, wallets and other delectable collectibles.

Here are some of their new mugs, available righ here.

We also spotted these fab new Orla Kiely journals from Jasper + Black.

Love these kooky dinosaur wall decals from Wall Candy Arts.

Super cool coat hooks from Fluffy Co.

And fabulous hand-made guest books and albums from Rag & Bone Bindery (this one uses Amy Butler fabrics). Gorgeous!!

Oh Orla!

We just read, on SFGirlBay and v that Orla Kiely, of whom we are big, big fans, has created a new line of fabulous home wares for Target which will launch this Winter. So drool-worthy, we had to write about it too (picture us jumping up and down and trying to contain our glee)!

Check out these fabulous tins - reminiscent of a stylish 70's kitchen but without all those awful appliances in "avocado"!

Love the trays - you can never have too many trays!

The new Orla Kiely Target collection will include tumblers, mugs, serving trays, dinner plates, storage crates and totes, place mats, napkins, floor and seat cushoions, and super adorable (and affordable!) aprons!

We can't wait for this collection to hit the stores!

Featured Retailer: Hide All

We popped in to say "hi" to the lovely girls at Hide All's lovely Tower Bridge boutique (and to make a delivery of our gift wrap and cards!). They showed us new Orla Kiely catalogue, which we nearly died over - the Fall collection is amazing, and we are eagerly waiting for it to be added to the website (in the meantime, shop the summer sale)! In a fit of passion, we found ourselves leaving with this lovely new Fall bag...
