Just In: Bowling Pin Treat Jar. They had me at white and gold. Porcelain too. And in case the trend is still relevant to you, there are some stags too.

Lucky Strike Container $80

Just In: Devin Dougherty Ceramic Vases. Devin’s pots have appeared repeatedly on the pages of Vogue selected by taste makers as objects they can’t live without more than once! She is yet another one of Penine’s fantastic artists

More Wonky - Candlesticks. I can’t wait for these to arrive. The designer has  taken a classic shape, put it into a modern material and made it in graphic black or white. Way to go!

I can’t wait for a drunken dinner guest to suddenly jump up in concern that the candles are moving. I hope it’s not me. Ha!

They will soon be in our store and on our website.

Porcelain Pin-up Girl. Just a little naughty and with gold hair too! I had to buy her and her friends at #NYIGF. Coming to Michele Varian soon.

Just In: These Earrings are WICKED! And I don’t mean in a Valley Girl kinda way. Golden Brambles and Thorns entangle Faceted Topaz, Diamonds embedded in Druzy dangling from your ears. I feel like a Grimm’s Fairy Tale has been written about these and I just have to find it.

And some more new designs…

Here’s a SneakPeak of my latest pillow #designs. Think yummy, moody color meets Bauhaus.

Just In: The ONLY thing we bought from ICFF: Carved Wood Owls with pastel accents. A whimsical take on MCM. First customer since they came in, “What do they do?” response, “Look pretty.”

Just In: Satsuma Lamp of Radiating Wooden Slats by Jonas Damon reminds me of origami. More specifically the “birdhouses” we used to make as kids our of my Grandparents old Reader’s Digests. The attached image from Apartment Therapy looks an awful lot like them, but maybe with some more class.

Just In:  More from our favorite new jeweler, Michele of Branch. Besides having a simple, organic style that is a perfectly nuanced blend of sweet and edgy, prices for sterling silver pieces start at $64! Check them out on our website or our store on Crosby St.
