A new story in the New York Times “In Transit” section features a cabin in the Grand Canyon built in 1890 as a stagecoach stop.  It has been newly renovated and can been rented for an overnight stay–dream on!  Read the NY Times story here.

These charming photos are from a recent article by SANDRA BALLENTINE  in the New York Times T magazine about a small rustic cabin just outside of Paris.

Ballentine writes “Surrounded by acacia trees on the banks of the Loing River in Fontainebleau, the tiny clapboard cottage is only 35 miles southeast of central Paris, but it feels worlds away, thanks to its untamed, verdant surroundings and lack of mod cons like electricity, heat and plumbing.” Click here to read the rest of the story.

Tribal in look and feel, but with a heritage rooted in the hippie movement of the  60′s and 70′s when natural products were once again celebrated for their beauty–our feather earrings are among some of the best we have found.

Made exclusively for Whispering Pines by a gifted jewelry maker in New York City. An artist with a great eye, she combines beautiful feathers with a trinket or talisman to create a wonderful work of art you can wear and enjoy.
