the theme for our december catalog (shot in california) was road tripping up the coast from los angeles to san francisco…which could not fit more perfectly with our first book club selection, on the road :)

Love the images. I road tripped up the coast last spring! I read on the Road a few years ago n hold it very dear – I love the beat generation – Kerouac, Ginsberg, the Merry Prankster. Amazing people who truly transformed a nation. xx

one of our readers informed me of this amazing company called squint, located in england, that makes furniture, light fixtures and home accessories. they look like they would be a perfect fit for a free people store! their collections use a mix of contemporary and vintage fabrics, as well as woven english damasks, 19th century french trimmings, and japanese ceremonial kimono silks. i am in love with the dresser…

erickson beamon jewelry is founded and designed by karen erickson, eric erickson and vicki beamon. as the story is told, their jewelry business was born out of necessity. while working with a designer for their premiere apparel runway show they found no one would lend them jewelry to accessorize with, so they strung crystals and beads on suede and launched their first jewelry line. immediately the jewelry took off and was noticed for its fashion forward, edgy quality. their trademark are handcrafted beaded necklaces, which are meticulously assembled by hand using tiny crystals and semi-precious stones. the unique, handmade yet fashionable quality of the pieces has drawn the attention of some of the most well-known designers in the fashion world, who have had erickson beamon design custom pieces for their shows. they have one retail store located in london that is described as “a place where people can have their fantasy come to life in jewels.”
we are thrilled to have their designs here at free people! view our full selection of erickson beamon here.

thanksgiving leftover pizza
November 28th, 2009 / Posted by fp julia / Permalinki’m a vegetarian so i really don’t get too into the whole thanksgiving meal, and i never have the problem of figuring out what to do with lots of leftover turkey, stuffing, etc…but i found this recipe for thanksgiving leftover pizza on savoryreviews.com that sounds really good- even to me. here’s a recipe to give you an idea, but really this is something you can be creative with and come up with your own recipe!

thanksgiving leftover pizza
• 1 biscuit dough (or use store bought pizza crust)
• 1 cup leftover gravy – plus a little extra for drizzling
• 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
• 1 cup leftover stuffing
• 1 cup leftover turkey
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 1 cup leftover cranberry sauce
- pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- in a bowl combine biscuit ingredients and form a dough. next turn the dough out onto a pizza pan. since biscuit dough is fragile and sticky, it is best not to use a pizza peel and stone. form a pizza dough.
- bake the dough for 5-7 minutes, until it starts to get a little firm.
- remove the dough from the oven and coat with the gravy or cranberry sauce- your choice!
- spoon the potatoes, turkey and stuffing onto the pizza. spread it out evenly over the whole pizza.
- top with the cheese (again, optional, and use whatever kind of cheese you like).
- bake in the preheated oven for 12-18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
- remove the pizza from the oven and let cool for a minute before cutting. serve with a side of gravy for dipping or with dollops of cranberry sauce.

- enjoy!
