Fashion Toile
This past weekend we met our close friends, Marc and Sheila, out for dinner at Cafe Allegre in Madison, CT. The restaurant was great but what really caught my eye was the wallpaper in the ladies' room. I always think a powder room covered in toile wallpaper is especially pretty; it's a bold print but it works well in a small space. Typically toile features joyful scenes of 18th century folk in country settings. (For a brief history of toile, check out this great post.) However, upon closer inspection I realized that this was a Parisian fashion toile! I've never seen anything like it and I absolutely love it. Does anyone know who makes it?

Minted
A friend of mine recently asked if I knew where to buy some cute monogrammed or personalized stationery. I immediately checked my "Stationery" bookmarks folder (what? doesn't everyone have one of those?) and came across Minted. For those of you unfamiliar with Minted, it's an online stationery store that sells paper goods from independent designers. They have a great selection of personalized stationery and I'm blown away by the talent of all the graphic designers. Here are a few of my favorites:
