 While I was in Atlanta at the show I had a chance to visit one of my favorite artists Pheromone by Christopher Marley.  His pieces are amazing and I have been using them for quite some time in different projects.  I have not seen him at a show for a while so I was very excited to get up to date and see his latest designs. 

I ordered several mineral pieces for a project that I am working on as well as some bugs and butterfly pieces to place here and there.  

  

The feathers are by far one of my new favorites!

 

I ordered a few of his books too- so I picked one up for you!

For a chance to win a signed copy of Pheromone please stop by their site and let us know your favorite.  Also, you can get another chance to win by tweeting about the giveaway or posting on facebook.

Please leave a separate comment for each entry and make sure we can contact you through your profile if not please leave your email address.  Our winner will be drawn on Sunday August 19th.

I am very excited to offer this beautiful book to TWO of my lovely readers!  

I am sure that you have visited her blog and have seen the images floating around the internet, how amazing would it be to own a copy of Vintage by Nina.  This book is printed currently in Norwegian and this fall we are expecting it in English, so you can read all about the lovely vintage treasures.

Each image captures her beautiful mix of texture and patina beautifully.

 

" This book is one that we are sure will transcend time and design styles, and in our opinion its sui generi; unique, fresh, bold at times and yet feminine, clean. The book contains 160 beautiful and provocative pages which inspire dreams in its readers and invokes the interior design muse of those who leaf through its pages."

Currently you can pre-order the book in English at the greige shop and if you are interested in purchasing the book for resale you can contact the Boys at Atelier de Campagne to get your supply!  Please email them at infoatelierdc@gmail.com  for more information.

I am super excited to share a sweet little bit of Parisian life right here in the states with you!  

The amazing chef Eddie Rocq has brought us hand made Macarons beautifully packaged, that can be delivered directly to your door, making them the perfect gift.  

Each of these little cookies is handmade to order and we can get them right here!  I was so excited to discover that I now can have one of my favorite things here at home.  Each box offers a variety of flavors and you can even select your own.  I am completely loving the chocolate and the pumpkin, the hubby and my little one are partial to the Vanilla, what can you do....   They will even be offering heart shaped macarons in specialty flavors for Valentine's and Mother's Day too, how perfect is that?!

A great little note on the history of the Macaron..

The Macaron cookie was born in Italy, introduced by the chef of Catherine de Medicis in 1533 at the time of her marriage to the Duc d’Orleans who became king of France in 1547 as Henry II. The first Macarons were simple cookies, made of almond powder, sugar and egg whites. It wasn’t’ until the 20^th century when French pastry chefs decided to join two macaron shells together and fill them up with buttercream, jams and ganache, which is the version we recognize and love today.

Rocq Macaron's was sweet enough to offer a box of their Holiday Collection {This is our selections of 24 Amazing flavors in the "Parisian" Box set} to one of our readers!!!!

In addition to Macarons, Chef Eddie Rocq offers fantastic catering services which we love.

To enter to win please visit the Rocq Macaron shop and leave a comment below letting us know your favorite. For an additional chance to win tweet about our giveaway (it's easy just hit the tweet button below) and leave a second comment!  Our winner will be chosen at random Saturday the 10th.
