From design goings-on to DIY-ed holiday cards from a California favorite, here are a few things we’re noting this weekend:

• It’s Design Week in NYC (with livestream options for tuning in from afar); get the full guide here.
• Civilian Objects, purveyors of utilitarian housewares, is hosting its first ever pop-up next weekend; it’s open from Nov. 18 – 23rd at Oliver Coffee Shop in Chinatown, NY, for early gift shopping.
• A Swedish house that follows the sun (sauna included).
• The modern Murphy bed? A new platform bed levitates to make the most of small spaces.
• 12 armoires standing in for linen closets.
• And seed-saving for spring.

May we recommend:

• 52 mugs.
• Luxe marbled linens (a twist for the Thanksgiving table?).
• DIY block-print greeting cards, via Block Shop.
• A visit to the newly opened NYC-based Guild Gallery from Roman and Williams.
• A glamorous step ladder.
• A new ceramic serving platter from Permanent Collection.
