Looking for a small speaker for your iPhone or MP3 player? This handsome ceramic pig from West Elm give us a good giggle. Talk about form and function! He has an audio jack in place of a tail and would look rather dashing on my desk singing my favorite She & Him tunes. The icing on the cake? He can be monogrammed! Done and done.

As you may have gathered we’re big animal lovers in these parts and the silly canine pillows above won us over in a matter of seconds. We always find it hard to resist needlepoint, but include a pup in a bow tie and we’re sold. I’m personally leaning toward the regal “Terrier General” and his rich green-blue palette…you? :)
Clockwise from top left: 1) Terrier General $80, 2) West Highland Squire $90, 3) Jack Russel Poet $65, 4) English Setter $80

Tell us, what are your favorite eBay buys?

This morning we’re debating which of Kate Spade’s new Fox Chapel collection we love most! Inspired by the iconic military coat, we just adore their soft-to-the-touch italian felt and shiny gold plated buttons. I’m leaning toward the Renee at top (who doesn’t love camel for fall?), but the Shari and Charlie are a close tie in second. Just looking at them has me hankering for the holidays! Nutcracker, anyone…? :)

We’re very big on the little things in life around here and these bear mittens are certainly a small accessory with big charm. We love that they’re handy — convert them from gloves to mittens and back again — and the football button is such a handsome touch. Can’t you see them on the subway? Sure to inspire some smiles…!

The sweetest bedding we ever did see – we’re simply smitten with Castle‘s hand stitched Mr. & Mrs. pillows. We think they look darling paired with the boutique’s hand printed spot sheets, don’t you?
