Turquoise Earrings


Just love these art deco diamond and turquoise earrings. I love basic and geometric shapes so these earrings would be a top pick for me (in another life!)

Meat Slicer

All important provenance information is right under the slicer (thank-God, saves me some work). I thought this was a great piece of industrial design- making something common useful and beautiful. The curvilinear lines are so peaceful in contrast to the power and slicing ability of this piece.

Kate Moss and Baby


I love this picture for three reasons - 1. The look on Kate Moss' daughters face, 2. The littler girl is wrapped in fur and, 3. What little girl has fur???? Regardless - I love fur and I love it even more on a spoiled little girl!

Tromp L'oeil - Fool The Eye

This is from a 2005 issue of Architecture Digest. This is a Elsa Schiaparelli shirt and I just love how beautiful it is in every aspect.

Chandelier


An absolutely beautiful swan and globe chandelier. From France, 20th century 8 arms, and gilt bronze. This piece is the reason I wake up the morning.

No Information Earrings

I lost all the information on these earrings so the only thing I know about these is that there are seed pearls on them. However - I still think they're cool and I hope you do too.

Now This is a Set of Nesting Tables

Love these French 1950's tables. The perfect addition to any high style home. Brass base with opaline glass tops.

Vacation is Officially Over.

Back to work today... summer is over in my mind.

Let's kick off the fall with a great piece of Americana. This beautiful barber poll has an acorn finial and is dated between 1900-1930. I hope you love this piece as much as me.

Jcrew and a Couple More Aces




Two new cute things from JCrew... they have really stepped up their game. Looove the bracelet on the top. What a cool inexpensive piece. Reminds me of Russian jewelry. Wedding dress is cute - I am slightly bothered by the waistline though and would like it better if it were a drop waist or an empire... thoughts?

Coral Necklace


Yellow gold and angel coral necklace... same place as the green earrings. Isn't this piece so minimal and matched with a muted color palette it's just a hit.

Green Earrings

Don't remember where I found these but aren't these a beautiful pair of jade and onyx earrings. I like how they look like beatles.

My Husband Came Across this:


A man who came across a way to make colorish film before color film was invented. The Library of Congress bought all of the glass slides. The thing that's so amazing is that you start to look through these slides and you're looking at things that in the past were black and white and now you're seeing them in color for the first time. It really changes how you look at history... enjoy! Isn't it amazing?
