PLACES: SAVOURING THE SUMMER AIR

WINDING DOWN OUR TIME ON THE EAST COAST WITH A LITTLE SUMMER WATERSIDE DINING. A TABLE ADORNED IN SAFFRON STRIPES AND CARIBBEAN BLUE (A HEADY DOSE OF HYDRANGEA BLUE AND GOLDEN VOUVRAY, CHECK).  CERTAINLY THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO ENJOY SCALLOPS COOKED WITH OLIVES AND FENNEL THAN ON MAMAN PYJAMA'S SAVOURY STRIPE TABLEWEAR. WE'VE BRAGGED ABOUT HER BEFORE, AND CAN YOU BLAME US? SHE IS OUR HEAD HIPPIE AND MAIN MUSE; SING ME A SONG OF SUMMER WITH SEAFOOD AND STRIPES, MAMA BEAR:

SORRY, WE'RE NOT VERY GOOD AT SHARING.

ROCKING OUT

UNSURPRISINGLY WE ADORE HANDMADE GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS, AND IN ADDITION TO OUR ORIGINAL IDEA OF BUYING EVERYONE ON OUR LIST PATTI SMITH'S JUST KIDS, WE'LL BE SCOOPING UP AS MANY OF MAMAN'S EXQUISITE ROCK POTS AS WE CAN CARRY.

1. DESERT STAR
$60.00 USD

WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG, WE USED TO COLLECT BEACH ROCKS FOR MAMAN. INSPIRED BY THE FORM, SHE'S DRAPED SLABS OF EARTHENWARE ACROSS A MULTITUDE OF ROCKS TO CREATE SHALLOW VESSELS, CLAY FOSSILS OF THE SHORELINE.

EACH ONE IS THEN PAINSTAKINGLY PAINTED BY HAND AND THE RESULTING JEWEL IS TOTALLY FOOD SAFE. WE LIKE TO PUT OLIVES, ALMONDS, ANCHOVIES, TAPENADE AND SPICY PECANS IN OURS. OR USE A FEW SECRET BOHEMIAN BAUBLES ON YOUR BEDSIDE...
