On my way to get lunch, I couldn’t help stopping to drool over the gorgeous ceramic bowls by Isabelle Abramson that were displayed in the front window of Michelle Willey. I love how the 29-year-old Boston-based artist plays with delicate negative spaces and organic patterns to create such lively pieces.

My good friend, Heather, recently had a baby. And since Heather is one of the coolest people I know, I can only surmise that her gorgeous baby girl will also grow up to be a member of the “cool crowd.†So what better way to give baby Ruth a head start than with the uber-hip, all-acrylic Vetro Crib from Nurseryworks? I first spied it at ICFF and it (almost) made me want a child of my own, just so I could furnish a nursery.

As a frequent shopper at Hudson in Boston’s South End, I couldn’t help but notice the new addition of Lynzariums to the already fantastic collection of furnishings and accessories. The succulent mini-gardens and terrariums are designed by Lyndsay Maver, who also manages the store. You can check out the Lynzarium blog, where you can also see their collection of air plants in driftwood, necklaces and more.
