I’m really into gold and brass right now. We have a Fort Knox globe suspension lamp in our hallway. The Modern Shop.

Blankets from MacAusland’s Woollen Mill [in Prince Edward Island] are so warm! Ours is grey and white and looks perfect draped over our black Eames chair in the living room. Viens Avec Moi.

We’re big home cooks, so we’re crazy about the knives at Knifewear, especially the Masakage series, which are hand-made in Japan.

I love the work of woodworker Matt Wallace of na Coille Studio. He only works with reclaimed wood. He’s making us a narrow walnut end table. nacoillestudio.com.

My husband, Matt Somers, makes great aprons through his company Wove & Grain. He sells a lot to chefs, but they’re also perfect for floral arrangers. I have three! It keeps me clean and it’s nicely fitted, so it looks dressier than most aprons. Also, it doesn’t tie around your neck, so your neck doesn’t get sore. woveandgrain.ca.

I’m obsessed with the Case Study planters by Modernica. I just started carrying them at Full Bloom — I especially love the walnut bases, but they also make beautiful metal stands for outdoors.

Ceramic camp mugs from Drake General Store are the perfect size for my morning and evening cups of tea.
