Just Beautiful Things...
I received an email today from shop owner Jeni Crawford of the fabulous Rian Rae. Let me say, first off, that Jeni has impeccable taste. She has devoted the last two years of her life sourcing out the fabulous products Rian Rae carries and it shows. This is definitely a site to bookmark. Enjoy!

Birch Box Cachepot
from Smith & Hawken for $8.00. The perfect item to start off my new hobby. I'm also thinking that vintage horse cup below would make a fantastic cachepot as well. Enjoy!
I detest artificial...
Silk, plastic, whatever. I detest artificial flowers, but I love plants so I'm turning over a new leaf. I'm looking to start my own indoor garden, from fresh grown herbs to the ever popular succulents. I figure this book is as good a place to start as any, plus it will make nice coffee table art. :) Diana Yakeley's "Indoor Gardening". Enjoy!
I love everything about this vintage horse mug
via etsy seller peacockmodern for $3.00. It would make an interesting and unique piece for display. Enjoy!

The photo says it all...
These Hana bud vases from Parasol Garden are made of recycled glass. I love the simplicity of the shape and the contrast of the clear with the frost. So fresh and delicate. The vases sell for $9.99 via Best Nest, but if you ran across them via their website you wouldn't even notice them at all. This is the perfect example of how a good photo can sell an item and how a bad photo can ruin it. Enjoy!
The Anti-Valentine Card
for those single persons who may find the Holiday a wee bit annoying. Via marinaowens etsy shop. Enjoy!
Set of 5 Vintage Dessert Plates
via tyrannyofthehandbag. Would make a cool graphic display on a wall. Enjoy!
