sneak peek: savannah

by Erika Firm Posted on July 29, 2008


Titus Maximus Vegetarius is a ham. Impossible to keep him out of our photo shoots. The save the date shown is the new “Savannah” design, part of our Charleston Collection, which will hit a very few select stores this Fall.

typography

Loving this fun numbers only font by Hoefler & Frere-Jones: Depot. Would be nice on a save the date or a vintage-looking birth announcement … or as street address in a shop window.

donuts at the montage

view of the Pacific Ocean from our table at The Loft at the Montage



A few weeks ago I hopped up to the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach, California to have lunch with a friend. We were both blown away by this amazing dessert: beignets and a marshmallow mud pie made with homemade marshmallow, chicory ice cream, and chocolate. The little round cup was full of warm chocolate sauce. Yum.

christmas in july

by Erika Firm Posted on July 23, 2008


One of my favorite booths at the Atlanta Gift Mart was the delightful John toole. Christmas ornaments just make me happy, and I loved the chic use of color, especially theses aqua/grey/gold pretties.

inspired by charleston

by Erika Firm Posted on July 21, 2008

photo and stationery: delphine


I designed this rehearsal invitation a few months ago, when I was feeling quite homesick for Charleston, South Carolina. The warm grey and spring yellow inks are the same color as the beach sand and the marsh sweetgrass where I grew up on the Isle of Palms. The restaurant on the invite, High Cotton, is known for its superb Lowcountry cuisine. Each time I visit I fall in love with this city all over again and wonder why in the world I ever left.

sweet tea vodka

by Erika Firm Posted on July 19, 2008


When I saw a Sweet Tea Mojito on the menu at Cypress the other night I just had to try it. I was skeptical, and had already chosen a “backup” drink … but it was AMAZING. So amazing that I went to a liquor store today and bought a bottle of Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka to take home to Cali.

my kind of an antique

by Erika Firm Posted on July 17, 2008


While strolling around the antique district on Southern King Street in Charleston, South Carolina this morning, I came upon this cool vintage table at South Of Market. If I still lived in Charleston I’m sure I could do some serious damage at this store.

rose cocktails

by Erika Firm Posted on July 11, 2008


photos and Sence Rose Nectar: sencenectar.com


Sence Rose Nectar. How gorgeous is this product? I love the idea of rose flavored cocktails: a little rosy mojito, perhaps? Or a rose & lavender lemonade for a kids party? Beautiful, romantic, delicious. The little bottles are only $4 and would make pretty party favors. I grew up loving the rose scented candies from France that my Tatie (auntie) Marie sent me in care packages, so this flavor is not a stretch for me.
