Here we are passed Black Friday and Cyber Monday and everything in between and I have yet to buy one gift.
If you are in a similar spot, Out of Print may provide a snappy stocking stuffer. Journals, featuring the covers of some literary favorites, use the opening sentences of famous novels as “lines.”
They’re clever for coming up with them, you’re clever for ordering them. Here.
Not in the budget to hang a Mondrian above the mantle? Perhaps it would suffice to have a little line and dash before the sofa.
Try a new sound and give the greatest hits of Adnet, Probber and Wormley the night off.
The Right Angles coffee table is a new design by Jason Phillips. It is available through the Phillips Collection here and you can see more of his work here. Also, it reminds me of my new dress. If only I had shoes with a little gold capped heel.

I went to stay with friends about a month ago and unthinkingly tossed my favorite pajamas in my bag.
When I pulled them out, now in sumptuous surroundings instead of my master bedroom that is reminiscent of a large dog bed, I was shocked by their shabbiness.
I think it is time for Marigot to the rescue.
Men’s-style pajamas tailored for women in high count cotton with snappy trim is just the answer. There are nightshirts, too and coming for spring these really jazzy prints.
Long cashmere sweaters on top create a cozy cocoon. Oprah likes them, too. Marigot made the gift guide, so if you enter “OPRAH” at check out you will receive 10% off through December 1st and a chance to win a full set including the sweater.
Elle Decor has graciously included my current obsession in their Weekly Finds column (a great source for on-line discoveries.) You can see where I’m clicking here.
Not to be morbid, but maybe you would want only this, and nothing more.
I know Aesthete’s Lament is a purveyor of the classics.
And, Mamacita would surely be persuaded to pony up. My question is, if Accoutrements put out a line of famous designers, who would make up your collection? (Ask the Blandings boys, it’s all about the collecting.)
Nancy Lancaster? She would definitely come with this hat and coat.
Van Day Truex? And a place setting of Tiffany bamboo?
John Fowler? Crown included.
Albert Hadley? Glasses, for sure.
Billy Baldwin? Brown vinyl box.
David Hicks? “on decoration” firmly grasped.
Or maybe you would go with a more current crew. Kelly Wearstler; full wardrobe, including wigs.
Thomas O’Brien? Alone. Perfection. OK, maybe a Gio Ponti vase.
Steven Gambrel? Well, for me, yes. Could I stand to leave him in the box, or would I need to bring him out to help with furniture placement? He’d have his labradoodle, Dash, by his side.
Ruthie Sommers? Blue and white porcelain to pile around? Yes, Courtney would be camping out at Target to be the first one on her block. Fifty-one mentions. Sister, you might need therapy.
