- Margot—also known as botanical artist @dogwalkdiary—is leading a botanical collage workshop on May 18 at the New York Botanical Garden from 2-4:30 p.m. “It’ll include a walk (and forage) in the garden,” she says. “No skills necessary; this is about looking and finding and collaborating with nature.” Come one, come all!
- Kintsugi—but with plants. Brilliant.
- A reminder from Kendra that there are better things to do with your yard clippings than sending them to the landfill.
- Everyone is designing garden and workwear these days, but this line is particularly good.
- Level up your gardening uniform with this cheeky baseball cap. (Note: bad language ahead.)
- A great-looking new collection of patterned terracotta tiles from Outerclé. We really like this pattern in particular.
- Want to join the Worn-Out Mending Club? Us too.
- 10 design-y New York restaurants that are now on our list.
- Now on view at Tiwa Gallery: Faye Toogood: Lucid Dream; pop by.
- Now admiring: Hay’s latest color-blocked designs for the pet set.
- We love the sounds of The Art of Slowness, soon to be on view at the Plain English Pimlico showroom in London—mark your calendar.
- Going on this Sunday, May 4 at Godmothers Books in Summerland, CA: a sewing circle of sorts with Diana Weymar, author of Crafting A Better World and the stitcher behind @tinypricksproject on Instagram. “Diana will bring vintage linens and everything you’ll need to leave with a one-of-a-kind, beautifully embroidered piece. No experience required, and everyone is welcome.”
-
Forget florals: Stripes are springing up all over.
-
These tablecloths are the adult equivalent of doodling at the dinner table.
- And a look at Jean Cocteau’s dreamy, surreal murals on the Cote d’Azure.
