Current Obsessions: A Dose of Sun

Wishing you a warm and restful weekend, wherever you are. Ahead, wool blankets by Isabella Rossellini, a pretty ceramics collection, a garden movie to soothe the senses, and more:

• Speaking of sunny yellow, click see the cover reveal of Life Inside a Cottage, the new book by our sometime contributor Nell Card (and featuring this favorite!).
• Obsession of the week: Isabella Rossellini and a collaborator are making blankets and rugs from the wool of her Mama Farm sheep—and they’re for sale.
• “I’ve been admiring the whole Tensira x Blanche + Mimi collection—and put together that this is the waterfront store in Portland, Maine I went to recently,” writes Margot. “I happen to be wearing the little cashmere scarf  I bought myself there.”
• This 100-year-old workshop in Japan makes custom bed pillows that lead to great sleep (though we wish they had a natural-fiber filling option).
• Spotted: a cache of colored vintage sinks in Philly, shipping all over, apropos of our recent Trend Alert.
• Ooh, another floppable sofa from Ligne Roset (hat tip: Margot).
• “Aluminum iconography, looking like silver moonlight,” or a little dose of beauty (hat tip: Julie).
• A cool new ceramics collection by Devin Wilde over at DWR.
• How gorgeous are these Latvian-inspired hand-knit mittens? (Hat tip: Fan.)
• Forcing flower bulbs will get us through this wretched winter.
• Speaking of which, how’s your amaryllis doing? Still going gangbusters like this one? (Head here for growing tips.)
• Have you heard of the wattle tree? So pretty!
• Hmmm…
• Calder Gardens is hosting daily screenings of Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf through January 30.
• It’s pruning season and Niwaki has some great essentials for the chore.
• Kendra explains how your garden can help your gut.
• The Garden Club of America has called it: This is the plant of 2026.
