Gorgeous prints from Osbourne & Little,

funky rugs from Angela Adams,

oh and these “rugs for your feet” from Nani Marquina.

I’m reading, among other etiquette-related books, Manners by Kate Spade. Elegantly illustrated with short, digestible notes on everyday things from eating to communicating, it’s quite a pleasant read.

I’m doing a project related to etiquette and culture, so if you have any recommended publication on the subject(books or websites), do write me. Thanks.
