I was so happy to discover this easy-to-implement eco-friendly tidbit…stop having unsolicited Yellow & White Pages delivered to your home or office! I honestly can’t remember the last time I’ve craked open either, and while I’m always sad to see the end of an era come to pass - I have not, for many years, understood why the Pages are still being printed.
YellowPagesGoesGreen.org is a grassroots organization which contacts your local distributers and asks for your name to be taken off their delivery list. Much like DoNotCall.gov (for getting your phone # off marketing lists) and 1-888-5-OPTOUT (to tell credit card and insurance companies to stop sending you applications) YellowPagesGoesGreen.org is another activist service that protects our rights while also eliminating tons and tons of waste each year.
It takes all of 30 seconds to fill out your info. Hopefully that’s the end of bulky, heavy, papery Yellow Pages for me!
Love,

I recently discovered a yummy, gluten-free snack by Glutino that tastes as good - or dare I say better - than your standard pretzels. Glutino’s Pretzel Sticks are light, buttery and super crunchy. Even The Hus, who isn’t a fan of pretzels was munching down on my new snack!
I spotted them at Whole Foods, but you can also purchase them online at GlutenFree.com.

So Lynda, Kim and I just got back from a whirlwind trip to NYC for the New York International Gift Fair. It was an AMAZING trip and boy am I excited about what’s in store the next few months on Delight.com. We found some fabulous products and I’m soooo excited!!! Our parameters for what we sell on Delight while broad, are limited in certain areas. There was tons of amazing product we drooled over that sadly won’t ever make in onto Delight, so I thought I’d highlight some of them over the next few days.
By far one of my favorites is a brand new bed linen line called Sanford Burrows. It’s a clean, minimal and very modern line that is simply beautiful. Sanford Burrows linens are produced in Italy by one of the country’s leading textile companies to ensure the finest quality and craftsmanship, and you can really tell!! (Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the designer Jill Sanford Burrows is charming and sweet and adorable.)
I have an all-white bedroom and these sheets are the perfect, subtle splash of color and pattern for my bed. What a wonderful discovery!
Sweet Dreams,

When you’re worn out from Exhaustive Ebay and disheartened from Creepy Craigslist, take your mouse over to LushPad and you may just find the Eames chair you’ve been looking for.
Dedicated to Mid-Century Modern Furniture, this clean and easy-to-navigate buy/sell website boasts itself as a “marketplace for modern collectors”. With mid-century goodies like Noguchi tables to modern iconics like a Shepard Fairey Obama print, its clear that this fledgling site is going to make many a modern collector quite happy.
Now if only I could find an orange leather Barcelona chair for like, $500….

There is a growing trend of studded furniture lately, and I have to say it is appealing to my “bad girl” side! A perfect mix of classic lines juxtaposed with rugged hardware, a studded piece can add just the right amount of intrigue to a room without seeming flashy or theme-y.
I’m digging Horchow’s baby blue Crocodile-Embossed Accent Table ($359) and Anthropologie’s Lady & Her Dog Loveseat (great name!) - also in a sweet baby blue.
Now where’s my old leather jacket…
Love,

The Furnishings-Store-Formally-Known-As-All-Things-Neutral has emerged from its beige haze and brought forth some really pretty stuff for fall. When I received Pottery Barn’s fall catalogue, I almost did a “Way to go PB!” jig in my living room. This season’s offerings are bright, graphic, geometric and above all colorful.
While their patterns exhibit blatant influence from design world darlings like Jonathan Adler, Orla Keiley, and even Marimekko, I’m loving their Madison Armchair ($949) in the Bailey, Gabrielle Jacquard, Graphic Ikat, and Ogee patterns. If you want to spend just a little for a big splash, check out their new pillow covers, which have almost all of the same above patterns and more - like the super springy Dandelion Pillow Cover and a very modern Grid Print.
Lastly, I’m loving the bold, bright lacquer Pillar Candleholders ($14) and Natalie Nesting Tables ($179). So much color, so little space!!
Love,
Tracey
