Stuff We’re Into March 2026
We’ve had small glimmers of spring out East, but winter has still been lingering.
March is my birthday month, and in recent years my husband and I have always tried to sneak away somewhere with our dogs to celebrate. This year looked a bit different with a work trip instead, but even that brought a bit of sunshine in Los Angeles — a welcome reminder of what’s to come.
While I’m always keeping an eye out for pieces that feel like future heirlooms for my closet, this month I found myself more drawn to creativity — to artists, makers, and objects that felt imaginative, thoughtful, and full of personality.
Slide One
This month introduced me to a few new artists that I immediately connected with.
Popup Studio UK is a wonderfully whimsical brand creating brooches that pair animals with cheeky phrases. Their pieces feel playful but still incredibly considered — the “Pardon My French” Eiffel Tower and the snail with its very honest sentiment were instant favorites. With brooches quietly making their way back, these feel like a perfect place to start.
Another discovery was Beaded Bodega, an artist recreating everyday bodega items entirely in beads. The level of detail is incredible — the kind of work that makes you pause and wonder how long something like that takes to bring to life. They also take commissions, which makes the idea of gifting someone their favorite nostalgic snack in this form feel especially special.
An artist I’ve loved for some time is Tara Gill (@tara_roma). Her watercolor floral collages are some of my favorite pieces — the layered textures, the color, the vases she creates. Everything feels joyful and intentional. One day I’d love to own an original, but for now I’m just as happy being inspired each time she shares something new.
Slide Two
This slide leans more into objects for the home — pieces that feel like they bring a table or a space to life.
I’ve always loved seashells, so discovering Mati_q_handmade felt like a natural fit. Her earrings — made from shells, gemstones, and unexpected color combinations — are completely one of a kind. They feel like little works of art.
My algorithm also delivered a new folk-inspired artist St. Bingo whose work immediately stood out. Their horse candlestick holders (perfect timing for the year of the horse) are so charming, and their hand-cut flower frogs transform something functional into something sculptural. The star-shaped designs feel especially beautiful and versatile for year-round use.
With spring on the horizon, I keep thinking about the table — how I want it to feel when people come over. I’ve long loved the metal poppy candle holders from Campo de’ Fiori. They’ve stayed on my mind for years and somehow feel just as right now as they did the first time I saw them.
And a newer find from Tuckernuck — miniature Lightship basket place card holders. I’ve already started collecting small baskets to use with tea lights, so these feel like a natural extension. Equal parts practical and charming.
Slide Three
This final slide is a bit of a window into the more personal corners of my month.
I’m planning to start using Libib, a platform that allows you to catalog your home library with a scanner. With the number of books I’ve accumulated, it feels like time. The idea of keeping a record — and eventually creating small placards for the ones we want to pass down — feels especially meaningful.
Spring also means the return of the wildlife around our home. This particular deer was born on our property last year and now visits regularly. While I probably shouldn’t, it will eat from my hand. Last year we had a baby bear visit with its mother and robins nesting nearby — I’m hoping for a repeat this season.
On a lighter note, I’m once again contemplating whether I can successfully achieve a tan without turning orange — a lingering memory from college. The internet keeps showing me Salty Face, and I remain…curious.
And finally, a moment for the new Chloé campaign. While 70s ultra-feminine isn’t typically my default, something about this collection made me stop. The dresses are effortless and romantic in a way that feels fresh.
This month also marked a bit of a pause creatively. After finishing both the quilt and the embroidery project, stepping back — mentally and physically — felt necessary.
I’m looking forward to easing back into creating this coming month, continuing to chip away at my list, and staying open to all the beauty and inspiration still to come.
