According to their website, Ekobo "combines timeless contemporary design with a thoughtful, ethical way of working. They are based in France but work extremely close with several communities in Vietnam in order to produce lines of beautiful handmade home accessories derived from their material of choice, bamboo." They already had me ...

Everything I see these days gets me excited and thinking about our house, which is currently being built and should be done in July.  Normally, I wouldn't think twice about a doormat, but now?  Doormat!  I need a doormat!  I get to choose one instead of using whatever piece of ...

Tyson and Jessica Geib of Lollipop Pottery make quirky and colorful mugs, bowls, plates and more.  Most are available through the website, with some exclusive items online at Uncommon Goods.  I'm particularly fond of the monsters and planetarium series.
