Scout: Restoration Hardware

I was standing at the counter in Restoration Hardware last week; trying stave off purchase anxiety over buying this ; when I was pleasantly distracted by the sales clerk using an iPad housed in one of these.  Part of their Artisan Leather collection, this is even more eye-catching in person.

Another item I found equally charming were these framed mini-flags from various countries.  Several of them were displayed vertically in the store and made quite a statement.  A fun way to honor your family's heritage I think.....

It's not too early to start thinking about holiday gift giving, is it?  

I'm determined to get mine done early this year!
