hanging in that space of 'so ugly, they're adorable', house of ingri naugahyde stuffies have faces anyone will love. for us 80's kids - the sweet mugs are ever-so-slightly reminiscent of ET but without the creepy, alien thing. so, so cute & hand-made in brooklyn.

Modern silhouettes are genius. Karl Johnson is a young, 3rd generation cut paper artist who has been commissioned by some of the chicest publications & events - with good reason - he's extremely talented. The 2nd best part? His hand-cut, custom portraits start at just $25. Everyone should have original artwork in their home. Now there's no excuse not to! I'll be commissioning portraits of friends, kids & pets this year for Christmas gifts...
