meanwhile, in Grand Rapids
check out the MANIFESTO OF LAMB:   

WE BELIEVE
In order to enjoy life’s journey, one must always carry a fabulous Orla Kiely bag.
Packaging makes [or breaks] the product.
A good glass of wine, luxurious bubble bath, and Kobo soy candles lift the weight of a 40-hour workweek off your shoulders.
The 40-hour workweek is a device of the devil.
When you feel beautiful, only then have we done our job and done it well.
In the creative energy of double-sided designer wrapping paper.
In industrial chic surroundings.
One can never be naked if wearing delicious gems by Blacklamb.
After 2 dirty gin martinis, we are the purveyors of all things cool.

Oh DOLLYBIRD, I heart you so very much.


I must have been really, really good this year.. or I just have the most wonderful boyfriend in the world. everyone knows it's him. 


vintage horsehair tassel earrings are simply the coolest ever. I feel so pretty when I wear them.


the ring is polished Botswana Agate and is hand set in sterlingthe lightest colors glow which makes the striping burst with beauty.  the size and weight are perfectly proportioned and the asymmetry of the stone really makes this just the loveliest ring i've ever owned..

McNamara Christmas presents!

this is my favorite gift wrapping project ever. the gift inside was quite special and I wanted the packaging to represent. I think it was a great success!
