Current Obsessions: Notes from Here

In need of a little pick-me-up? Read on for what to watch, read, and otherwise peruse this weekend:

• Good news, New Yorkers: You can now get arrangements from florist-to-the-design-world Alex Crowder delivered to your own place, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
• We can’t wait to dive into The Vineyard, poet and former Farrar, Straus & Giroux publisher Jonathan Galassi’s latest. Publishing in March, it’s a long-form poem set in his “quiet house and garden, his oasis in the turbulence of dailiness,” according to the book description. We were given an early peek—and it’s exquisite.
• Kier is tickled by the new seed bundles from Botanical Interests, with humorous names like “Just Tell Me What to Plant Starter Pack” and “Lazy Herb Garden Pack.”
• “Planting Insights for a Changing Planet,” an online masterclass with renowned horticulturalist and landscape designer James Hitchmough, is free for just this month, courtesy of Gardens Illustrated.
• “If this incredible, plant-forward home doesn’t make your knees buckle, I’m not sure we can be friends,” says Fan.
• Spotted by Margot at the most recent Shoppe Object: simple, clever support for climbing plants.
• Dreaming of summer and lounging under this yellow and white sun umbrella by Hay.
• Ooh, a new in-house line of notebooks from Goods for the Study (hat tip: Margot).
• There’s something so soothing about these.
• The Shaker explosion just keeps going…and going.
• Love these painted stairs (and palette).
• All the Ikea pieces in Sentimental Value (have you seen it yet?).
• Sign us up for these spring workshops, including the intriguing-sounding “improv quilting.”
• Smitten by this shade of green.
• And also this wood pendant light.
• In case you missed it: 11 design notes for 2026.
