who: Kate Arends Gabriel, Graphic Designer and Blogger
why kate rocks: I've been a longtime fan of Kate's eye for modern design and thoughtful typography!
in her closet: I purchased this little wallet at a thrift store back when I was in college. I didn't think much of it at the time, but it has stayed with me everyday for the past 5 years. I only became more attached to it after the gold began to pull away from the material…revealing a pretty blue color underneath. It's a happy accident that has invited countless complements that I can't take all the credit for!
in her casa: Both my mother and grandmother have a weakness for gold figurines. It must be hereditary, because I've collected them ever since I took one of my mother's with me to college. These two deer figures are the most recent addition to my collection. They are bigger than many you'll see in antique stores and look lovely on my credenza as bookends.
Thanks Kate!

What a lucky accident! I would love that clutch, the colors blend beautifully.
Great post! I love her blog, wish she posted to it more often (hint, hint Miss Kate!)
sometimes we forget about some stuff in our closets and then when we suddenly find them again it’s like a new great acquisition!
What a great purse! Ooh, I have a weakness for gold figurines too. I have to fight to keep it in check.
