Plaid is the New Bear










If I've seen a cuter bear anywhere, I can't remember because all I want are these adorable plaid guys ($28) at James Young, perfect for adorning your child's/niece's/nephew's room. They dress up a playroom like no other bear.


And I can't pass up a good wooden bowl (left, $75). These are beautiful on your table and big enough for lots of food. Truly the perfect bowl for my family; we like to ooh and ahh over looks ("Oooh, handcarved Filipino wood") but enjoy the bounty ("Aaah, copious amounts of food."). The spoons ($55) are mother-of-pearl. Larger bowls run $115.

Finally, because there's so much good stuff at James Young that I can't stop, mull over these bags: the perfect beach tote/summer purse (above, with the cute flip flop print) and this charming evening bag ($45, right), big enough for gloss and cab fare, but small enough to toss around so you can have some fun.


Mr. Young wins best vendor quote. Of the plaid teddy bears he says: "Conceived in New York City, born in Vietnam." Those are some cosmopolitan bears.
