I love those dictionary's - what a great way to get a teenager to use one! Make it in hot pink.

Great gift ideas.

I love the Chair Couture chairs. I saw them in the NY Times and did a post about them. Especially like the swimming pool one.

Fairfax, I think her combinations of fabrics and finishes are so artful. It seems a lot of people are doing the same thing these days, but not always as successfully as Chair Couture.
