There’s a new, extremely expensive, appointment-only store on Canal Street called William White, where one can find baskets, oxford shirts, and various other clean, white goods. It reminds us of the New Preston, Connecticut, store Plain Goods, in that everything is beautiful and makes us want to live very expensively in Connecticut. 

Incidentally, the guy who opened William White — ASH NY founder Will Cooper —  personally owns a lot of nice lamps. Among them: a ’70s table lamp by Harvey Guzzini, a Model Area 50 Suspension Lamp by Mario Bellini, and ’70s floor lamps by Robert Sonneman. Speaking of lamps, this image made us want a Celestia ceiling lamp — not ideal, as they’re like $8,000 available nowhere. (Sold, on hold, definitely a good thing.)

Okay, we might lose some of you here, but we really want a movable fish pendant. Does anyone know why these things exist? Here’s a really nice one at a good price. While we’re confessing, this image inspired in us a desire for a silver nautilus shell table lamp.

Thinking of ordering a new pair of white Bensimons.

This August, Reath Design founder Frances Merrill sent us a list of her favorite things. We’ve personally heard that some of you bought the Swedish branch candles and the $17 Portuguese bath mats. Merrill also recommended this Pennsylvania-based heirloom weaver company for its handmade bedspreads and pillows, but after poking around its site, we decided to order these hemp-colored cotton curtains. They’re great! Gauzy, kind of moody, and somehow just $29 a panel.

This glass catchall from Auger would make an excellent gift!

These perfect Nu Swim tanks (a shape we looked for all summer at a not ridiculous price) are now just $32. They’re being discontinued, so stock up for next summer or wear as a fifth layer this winter.
