Pretty Python Tray...

Trays rock. They're awesome for organizing pretty much anything. 

I like them on coffee tables, entryways & in my bathroom vanity area. One of my all time FAVE trays has been the python tray. I had been WANTING this tray for quite some time now, ever since seeing it in Lonny Magazine. Remember that issue??!? 

Anyway, the lovely Sue from The Zhush must have taken notice, because after meeting her at Blogfest earlier this year she sent me the tray from her shop! I almost died! .....It was such a nice surprise... thank you Sue!! This tray is 10 times prettier in person & makes any little area appear super chic!  Instantly....see what I mean?

A Gift From Guatemala...(Made By Girl)

I wrote this post back in early March about Lorenza's amazing home accessories! In this particular case I'm talking about OSTRICH EGGS!! 

She was so kind to send me one all the way from Guatemala and it is soooo stunning! I haven't decided where I'll place it yet, but I'm so grateful to her for her generosity!

Here is what Lorenza shared with me about her work & how she came up with this idea: 

I began all this because of my insomnia and that´s when I began thinking of doing something really different. One night while struggling through the night I saw this fabulous fabric with paisleys in my bedroom that I thought would look great on an ostrich egg, on that instant I went to my studio and looked out for my old brushes and began painting! 


Next step was doing something more with those eggs & the idea of tassels and pom pom cords came another night, Ive become in love with them!

If you'd like to inquire about Lorenza's handmade home accessories - just go to her site, Lorenza Filati & shoot her an email! Thank you Lorenza!
