first off, good morning. thanks for joining me. i know your time is valubale so i'll make this brief.
we're launching a rad pop-up shop this morning with hayley mitchell. she painted 20 original faces exclusively for furbish and they really are fantastic.
all 11" x 14" for $325 each. see how nice this looks (note, ours are a bit smaller than this lady). get on it.
also, we just stocked this amazing giraffe (remember rebecca de ravenel's amazing apartment? it's that guy...). While you're there, this dude may tickle you as well, as well as his flock of other friends.
thirdly, we had this duvet custom-made for furb and everyone is deep in lurve. this is sort of the perfect combo. 3 sabina euro shams, 2 teal ikat pillows, 1 lucas lumbar, a pom pom moroccan throw and a rita lacquered tray cause you fancy.
and finally, this favorite needlepoint pillow is
back - we're taking preorders b/c the waitlist was so huge. you can
order online and it will ship in just a couple of weeks.
dat's it. go about your day. i guess we'll see tonight if reality is going to imitate reality tv.

our trip to guatelmala last month was the result of some major secreting
out into the universe some things we wanted : amazing textiles and a
chance to shop local villages for one-of-a-kind crafts , one part
adventure/non-basic white girl stuff, and an opportunity to experience
(another) once in a lifetime experience with best friends.
we killed it on every front. we stayed in panajachel, on lake atitlan, at hotel
atitlan, and as we've come to expect the best from guatemala, the
sanguine people, the beautiful country , the talented makers and the
always amazing food were no exception on this trip.

| the view from our hotel room |
 |
| vista from a boat ride to a local yoga studio on the lake in neighboring town |
 |
| a real bastard of a parrot who bit me on the arm right after this pic |
 |
| amazing tile work in our hotel dining room |
 |
| the view from the hot tub we took advantage of each night at sunset |
 |
| we looked for quiet places to practice 5 minute mediations - because, you know, that's us now... and they were not difficult to find in the gardens of our hotel. |
 |
| we took a boat to cities outside of panajachel. our guide would pick us up on the dock each morning with a million more adventures in store for us than we'd imagined our day would include. |
 |
| i could tell you again and again about the intricate growing, spinning, dying, and weaving process of the handmade guatelamalan goods, but i just don't know if there's a way to convey the sense of awe you experience when you realize the origin of the textiles. |
 |
| i have angst. probably not directed at the lake. |
 |
| we spent a day in the yoga studio at villa sumaya in santa cruz, on the lake |
 |
| yup, us. |
 |
| that's exactly what we came for. |
 |
| jessica and anna drank micheladas on the reg. me? as much as i'd fancy myself a bloody mary person because i'm spicy AF, i can't stomach tomato juice without a major ughhh, so this beer, lime juice and spice mix wasn't my best life (but don't worry, i found suitable alternatives). |
 |
| feeling the local fashions |
 |
| we ate all the things. the food, everytime, in guatemala is on point |
 |
| locals waiting for a ride at the dock |
 |
| eye candy from a streetside vendor in san juan |
 |
| just down by the dock, being outdoorsy, and whatnot |
 |
| two guatemalan babies |
 |
| bolts of the most amazing handwoven cotton |
 |
| just about the cutest |
 |
| handmade belts at the chichicastenango market |
 |
| we picked up some unusual textiles this trip - lots of pastel pinks embroidered on white cotton |
 |
| local flavor full of color |
 |
| before we climbed the san pedro volcano. no idea what we were getting into |
 |
| we spent this trip really digging into the origin of the textiles - the different colors associated with each village and the techniques |
 |
| we picked up more than a few personal pieces, like this small textile with neon embroidery |
 |
| this is us now |
 |
| amazing colors of hand-dyed thread make the gorgeous stripes down the center of corte fabric |
 |
| mesmerized by the intricate paintings highlighting everyday life in the village |
 |
| this is how balls of cotton freshly picked from the yard are turned into thread |
 |
| we regrouped each evening with a cocktail in this cozy nook at the hotel. these tiny pink chairs were everything. |

you guys know i'm a master at too much - so naturally bookcases and
display cabinets are a field day for me when it comes to decorating. i
love pieces like this white traditional secreatry that you can fill with
items that you love and want to live with everyday.
the cabinet was my mom's, so it's perfect to take center stage filled with a collection of things that make me a little more me. a little too much is just enough, you know? here's how i pull it off:
1 - a travel memento - this is a basket i brought back from our last trip to oaxaca. i convinced jessica that these handwoven pieces would be a breeze to fly with - they'd just collapse nicely and pop right back into shape. they didn't. i spent weeks trying to get this guy back to something... round.
2 - colorful textiles - easy to pick up on travels and so pretty displayed in a stack. these are cortes from guatemala and embroidery from oaxaca .
3 - small framed finds - this is a banajara india mirrored patch i found at my friend carter's warehouse in charlotte. she travels the world and has a trove of finds that are fun to dig through. i popped it in an ikea frame for a custom look.
4 - investment worthy art - this is a custom framed sally king benedict that i treasure the most. i love propping art up in unexpected places, like on the secretary so it can really shine.
5 - a favorite candle - unfortunately i didn't make it to coqui coqui before it closed, but my friend ashley at vermillion sells their amazing candles. i'm headed to tulum for thanksgiving, and can't wait to see the pretty town so many friends have been raving about.
6 - a pretty natural find - it's always a treat to find a treasure on the beach during a tropical vacation. this guy washed up on the shore in costa rica so i scooped him and flew him home.
7 - a bright and bold print - i love checking the fortunato sisters' finds section on their site ever so often. i fell in love with this wayne pate print and decided to treat myself.
8 - a postcard. i have a thing for saving any old school correspondence. this is a john derian postcard that a friend sent from NYC with a sweet note.
9 - a twist on tradition - this is how i imagined our kooky needlepoint pillows would be displayed when we made the last collection inspired by nicki minaj and beyonce. it catches everyone's eye first, and it's always 'where did you find that!?' mixed with found objects, some fancy, some silly, it's the perfect pause for a bit of irreverence.
10 - a trinket with some texture - our bag charms are perfect for flair on an overnight or beach bag, but i like to hang them from a door knob, or here on the glass door for a pop of neon pink.
11 - an interesting fern - my grandmother passed along a decently green thumb to me, and this fern has been thriving so far in front of the window. i enjoy his crazy color and it's always nice to add a plant to the mix
