Carved Wood Putti or Cherub

These are F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S for shabby chic/Paris apartment decor! This one is from the original collector who found this decades ago in a private shrine in Mexico. They tend to be expensive, but we also have a few vintage papier mache models.

Were you aware that Queen Victoria selected the garnet as her engagement ring stone? The ruby colored stone has since been associated with romance! (And what greater love story is there than that of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, so completely devoted to one another??!!) Garnet necklaces, rings and bracelets are really hitting their stride, once again, and are very popular! Every girl should own at least one fabulous and chic garnet embellished accessory!

If you like mermaids....

One of my favorite pieces of all time! This gorgeous Art Deco period mermaid lamp is going to be listed at a new, lower price this weekend! If you like artistic decor which truly makes a statement, you'll love this fabulous vintage piece, fully marked Made in France! So chic!

Erin go Bragh

With St Patrick's Day on the horizon, my thoughts drift back to
my visit to the Emerald Isle last May. Despite the constant
drizzle and the overcast skies, fond memories of the spectacular views from atop castle walls, basking in the warmth of the kindness of Ireland's residents,
meandering through quaint colorful villages, warm scones with cream and jam all come together to create a wave of bittersweet nostalgia...
I wish I could figure out a way to purchase a secluded , cozy cottage, vibrant perennial garden included,
and retire to that wonderful country!
