Shop to Visit : The New Totokaelo

 Totokaelo has re-emerged in their new location and has nailed it to the enth degree. Seattle has such a strong community of smart, savvy, design nerds that are in the know of what is happening in the art, fashion and design world, and yet somehow, our reputation is that because we are outdoor enthusiasts, flannel wearing, techno-geeks, that we can't have taste. But here's the thing, and the major difference between us and many other major cities, Seattle has both!...People here are smart and have taste...The advantage of having computer geeks everywhere is that we know what is happening in the world, and our eyes are opened to new art, design, music, everyday. We sit on the computer, we order some shoes from Colette Paris, or Totokaelo, we read our favorite blogs, and then we go for a hike, or go on our boats...We try hard to be non-materialists because we are smarter than that, which makes us fabulous editors...By editors I mean we usually don't spend our money on crap....We edit our pieces to a few amazing things, along with an amazing vintage piece from a thrift store in Snohomish, and we eat from the cheap, but amazingly fresh taco truck for a week to rationalize our purchase...We are gardeners, foodies, readers, bloggers, art lovers, outdoorsmen, and we like our small, but select group of friends. Of course we have our croc wearin', teva and sock lovin' folks that could give a crap about design, etc. who might be environmental stewards, or activists of some sort that contribute hugely to our beautiful state. I love them just as much....

Ok, enough with my babbling, let's talk about these pics. One of the reasons I brought up editing is because the owner of Totokaelo, Jill Wegner, is a master of it....Everything, and I mean everything, is masterfully edited....

 Wings by Fredericks & Mae.

 These spoons are so great and affordable too! By Akiko's Pottery, $20.00

 The shoe selection is ridiculous, and I mean that in a good way....

 Wall hanging by Alexandra Segreti and Kelly Rakowski of New Friends, $600.00

 There are wall hanging scattered throughout the store of Arielle De Pinto's work...They are amazing...

There is so much to do in this neighborhood right now, I frequent the yummy Oddfellow's restaurant, which is right next door, and Elliot Bay books, on the other side. If you are in the hood, and want to meet up, send me a message and let's do lunch!

The Beautiful Bedroom....

 Can I tell you how excited I was when Serena and Lily asked if I would sell some of my limited edition pieces on their Bazaar and that my work would be in their catalog as well? I thought I might have a heart attack. I have always loved their fresh, breezy, California, aesthetic. I always feel like I want to be in some of the photo's having a picnic on their dreamy fabrics by the beach drinking iced tea lemonades. Their catalog makes me happy.

 This bed is so beautiful, I don't even know where to start.

 My Heron and Poppies. (!)

 Another amazing bed...It looks like a Parisian seaside resort from the 1920's once had this in their possession...Gorgeous...

The people who I have met who work here are some of the nicest, and stylish women I have ever met...Just know that when you buy your next piece from them,that this is truly a wonderful company...
