Chilewich Introduces Spring Line

Chilewich has easily became one of my favorite table topper lines due to its use of texture, minimalist aesthetic and its sophisticated color palette. In recent years, the company has expanded its products beyond placemats and runners to include an assortment of accessories including IPhone cases and even tote bags. The company has introduced a number of great additions to its Spring 2010 line including a wonderful pet mat to protect your floor from kibbles and water. The mat features a dog cutout in the middle which provides for even spacing of water and food bowls. Fans of Chilewich will appreciate the ease of cleaning these mats provide and will also appreciate how they can beautify a pet area with a great color selection seen here. The company is also introducing a new Ghoststripe pattern placemat which blends a brushstroke pattern comprised of colored threads on a black background. Each set is striking with bold and muted colors of mocha, green or blue to choose from. Order your new items by March 31st and receive 15% off when you use coupon code "ChilSp10" at checkout.

New Sites - Argo Tea Cafe NYC

While out and about in New York on yesterday I stopped by the Argo Tea Cafe. The company which boasts several locations in Chicago and a newly opened location in the Flatiron Building offered samplings of a wonderful hibiscus tea.

I loved the interior with luscious earth tones including greens, browns and creams and the selection of loose teas available for purchase including a surprisingly wide selection including South American Mate and South African Red Teas. One can purchase a prepackaged tea or bag their own by using canisters similar to those in the coffee aisles.
