gorgeous new plates from brooklyn designer, sarah cihat. [i love the rose] more information at her website, right here.

pretty options for candles at wingard…

ooh, love this, too. a three dimensional, white powder coated steel sculpture. looks soo pretty against those chocolate walls. and i love it as a wreath below. lovely modern alternative to the traditional pine versions (although not quite as festive, perhaps you can dress it up with some other modern holiday decorations). available right here.

love wingard’s mo-bi-le-o’s. especially this star pattern with the gorgeous chocolate paint in the back. available right here [details: 12″ antique brass stars that link together to make a screen or back drop. each set contains 6 stars. 12″ x 77″]

i love this light. it just looks happy. available at dutch by design.

sari syväluoma is an amazing european designer passed on to me my mark of sparkability. her work is colorful, fun and sophisticated (there’s a very judy ross feel to some of her work, which i love). from her handprinted pillows to her cheery serving trays, her work oozes happiness and color. and in my book that’s a-ok. you can view her entire collection right here and get purchasing/retail info via email on her site. enjoy! [thanks, mark!]

fun chicago boutique for high and slightly-less-high end design. tons of italian designers, my favorites are this affordable chip and dip bowl (only $23) and the classic take lamps from kartell. more info and full collection right here.
