We spend a lot of time traveling the world - in search of new ideas, inspirations and materials. At the end of last year we found ourselves in China!

August documented the trip though food photos (a favorite of ours) here’s what we were eating in China!
Top - These are just cucumbers, but very fresh and crunchy and artfully cut! Bottom - These are the most delicious mushrooms I have ever had...so good! They were cooked with chillies and ginger.

We recently hosted a cookies-and-milk party for the kiddies at one of our favorite stores - GUMPS - in San Francisco.  We thought we'd give you a little peek at the event, which featured our Cali-based sales manager and her kids reading DwellStudio books.

Next time you're in the Bay area - stop into GUMPS and say hello from us!

It's probably been said a million times - but that doesn't mean it's not true: Christmas in New York is just magical. From the tree lots that take over the city streets, to the decorations that go up city wide and the truly iconic NYC sights (The Rockettes, the Tree at Rock Center, the department store windows) the city is full of the holiday spirit - you really can't help but get swept up in it all!

Here are just a few instgram pics from around the city! (Follow me on instagram for more..!)

This year we held our holiday party (well, holiday fiesta!) at Fonda Nolita here in NYC. We had Micheladas, Horchata, Tacos served out of a VW Bus and, of course, Pinatas. And at the end of the evening a mariachi band serenaded us all.

It was a blast. Thanks to all who came! Here are a few pictures from the night:
