merry Christmas from Dr. Hemmert

Have a very merry to all! I’m going to take a few days off to get ready for 2008. I wanted to take a second to say thanks to all my readers (and fellow bloggers) for making this year absolutely wonderful. I’ve been more successful and met more wonderful people than I’ve ever imagined. It’s been a pretty crazy year around here and I fully intend to make next year even better. My head is always swarming with ideas and at least a few of them will come to life this next year.

You’ll see a post here and there for the next week, but I’ll be back to a full regular schedule after the new year.

Hope your families and loved ones are keeping you cozy!

eco lamps at beklina

 In these cute minimal lamps, the wire that brings this little guy electricity is the same wire that’s decorating it so pretty. I love the simple earthy colors and you can knot and loop the wire all you want to change the length of the 5m long cord. ($240)

Get it at beklina.

things i love: west elm bamboo blend blankets
20. December 2007


west elm blanket

I was at West Elm around my birthday last year and coerced my brother to buy me one of these, since he hadn’t gotten me anything yet.

I love it.

It’s warm and cozy. It’s ultimately one of the most soft blankets I’ve ever had. I’m also comforted by the fact that it’s 70% bamboo and mostly sustainable. (on sale, $30)
