The Brook Farm General Store

The Brook Farm General Store is filled with beautiful, organic looking products.  I want them.  They totally fit in with my current crush on Scandinavian and farmhouse style design.

I know the blocks could be deemed childish...and they are.  But I am enamored with the idea of having books in a bookshelf and then using alphabet blocks to spell something out.  Like mystery or a favorite line from a book. Wouldn't that be cute? 

Mmm. This blanket looks so comfortable.  I love blankets that have a heavy drape to them.  They really fell like they're working to warm you up.  Love them.  This reminds me that I need to do a blanket post.

 

These dish towels and napkins might be my favorite things on the site.  I love linen and I love plaid. LOVE plaid. Like can't get enough of it and wish I owned everything plaid. For real.

This shower curtain is pretty cool too.  Not too frilly, not too boring.  And very nautical. Mmm. I'll take two.  Seriously though, you need two for the claw-foot tubs at the Good House.

Not much to say here.  Other than that it's simple and pretty.  And I could use it to heat up butter. Haha, of course my first thought of what I could use this for is butter.  I mean really, other than cheese, what else is there?

If this lamp were in a Disney Pixar movie it would come to life.  It would be a very friendly lamp, and perhaps a bit modest, don't you think?

I'm sure I've told you this a million times before, but I am a sucker for blue glass. And these tumblers made from recycled wine bottles are no exception.  I once read a blog post about how to make your own tumblers from wine bottles.  It looked pretty difficult, but perhaps I should try someday.  The only thing that would make these tumblers better?  These straws:

Aren't they great!? I happen to already own one.  They're perfect for the habitual straw user, like myself. Re-usable and super cool.  Plastic straws seem to be one of those things that you always think you have, but can never find when you need it...like a pastry brush or in Dan's case matching socks.  Despite a regular straw's disappearing act, I somehow have yet to misplace my stainless steel straw.  If only I had a set of 6 like this.  Then I could share with my friends.  You see, the problem with having only one cool straw is that you feel kind of guilty when you break it out, because it's not really fair to your guests. But at the same time, you don't really want to share and end up having to use one of those plastic straws that works perfectly fine but suddenly seems so lame.   Ah the dilemmas of life.

p.s. I also found this website through Leah Dent's Pinterest site!
