My friend and I were talking about this ad because she recently rescued a westie/something mix. She hasn't seen it on the tele and I wanted to post it for her. P.S.~If you fall in love with this westie and feel the need to bring one home, please check your local westie rescue or aspca. Always spay and neuter your pets.

Where might I find this cabinet....or something close to it?


I found this on surroundings, but there is no information concerning the cabinet.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO MAKES THIS OR WHERE I MIGHT FIND IT? The blog entry was in 2007 and I believe it is a Scandinavian design house.

I like the combination of white on dark wood and it would look awesome in my studio!!

Thank you!!

Bejeweled Chandeliers




































































Art imitating life or life imitating art...jewelry imitating home decor...or home decor imitating jewelry!

We have taken chandelier crystals and used them in all sorts of manners and have taken the silhouette and adapted it to jewels for our ears! The chandeliers are like, if you can do it so can we......and Marjorie Skouras fulfilled their wishes with these stunning gemstone bedecked chandeliers for the home (not the ears).

I designed an eclectic six foot sterling necklace with numerous pearls and sterling charms. I wear it often and upon seeing the draped chain chandelier, I felt a bit of a bond with it. Designed by Eva Menz.

Photographs from Apartment Therapy of course!!

A soothing fixture

How fabulous to be soaking in the bathtub and have this to look at as you rest your head on one of those cheesy, yet wonderful blow-up pillows? I say...yes, yes, yes!!

One can justify the price easily. It is a fixture and will have years of life, it will increase the value of your home (we all know about the importance of the bathroom and the kitchen), it will soothe your weary soul and it cost less than some shoes on the market! So there!

Village Clayworks by Catherine Reece



































Where to begin......I am so bowled over by this artist.

Here is just a small sampling of her claywork..some of my favorites. They are at once elegant and whimsical. I wouldn't think twice about using them at a formal dinner. Prices range, on her etsy site at the moment, from $18.00 to $48.00. Quite inexpensive for handcrafted pottery. In this society it is considered good manners to use plates and you have to have little vases to put all of those dandelions and violets your children collect. So go accidentally break those worn out plates you have had for...well forever and feed the economy!

Here is the deal. She has been working with clay for eleven years.......although she has had her hands in other mediums. She sighted a dragonfly by a lake a few years ago, became intrigued with all of the smallest of creatures and delights in telling their stories through her works. Another cool thing. Her electric kiln is supplements by solar panels on her roof. Cooler still......they travel to art shows in a diesel truck fueled with recycled vegetable oil.

Both the artist and her work make me smile!! catherinereece on etsy
