John Robshaw's spring 2008 catalog is now available online. Many new handcrafted goodies await -- including fresh linens and pillows -- but for me one of the standout designs is the seriously charming "Noah's Ark" baby bedding.

I was really excited when I received an email from Anisha Ghosh of Saffron Marigold.
