Chic accessories and furniture

This stuff is right up my alley, sadly, it's across the pond.. Why do I always find stuff I like overseas! urg...very frustrating. The store is called Coco Målé Interiors, and it looks like a great place for one's home decor basics. It's slightly trendy, but not so out there you'll have to send it off to goodwill a year from now. I also like their wide range of white furniture and accessories. If only places like Coco Målé Interiors and Zara Home would set up shop state side! *sigh*






Isn't this "teapot for one" adorable!!





These tealight holders are so pretty!

gorgeous clock...


I really want a bamboo stool like this

An adorable home decor and accessories store with a good cause

I was introduced to Nest a few weeks ago, and I finally got around to checking it out. Besides their products, the best thing about Nest is their mission:

"Nest is a nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the lives of women in developing countries. The mission of Nest is to support women artists and artisans in the developing world by helping them create sustainable entrepreneurial businesses. To do this, Nest provides micro-credit loans to be used for the purchase of the supplies and materials necessary to begin and/or maintain art or craft-based businesses."

I look forward to seeing what they have in the future as the companies grow! They also have a lot of cool, indie products by domestic designers.




Beautiful serving bowls from Mexico. The salsa bowls at the top were also featured in Domino.

Sweet little tea light holders






African baskets are always stunning

Pretty little tea towels.

Art for baby
I *LOVE* this bracelet. My sisters' pet name for me has always been Heart, so it's fitting. :)

A gorgeous cuff bracelet.

They also carry a lot of really pretty stationary

I always use handmade soaps - they are much nicer for your skin and last a really long time. Nest has a huge selection.

modern, eco-concious, and affordable goodies for you and your home

Garden inspired ceramics

I went to college in Providence, RI surrounded by many great designers, and I try to keep an eye on what the art community up there is doing. My most recent discovery I had to share with you! Asya Palatova is a ceramicist who founded "Gleena" in 2002. Her cups, bowls, plate, vases, and other vessels are wonderfully delicate and lovingly crafted. I absolutely love the illustrations she uses, which often include shells, plants, and beautiful script. Being instantly drawn to handmade objects with an organic look and feel, I could easily have a whole cupboard of her work. Check out her website, or go to her Etsy store for more.

Bright and beautiful serving pieces

Now that summer is in full swing, there seems to be a cookout every weekend. Don't go for drab and flimsy plastic and paper items (which will end up in a landfill too!). Imagine instead serving up salad and other goodies with these really unique utensils from Chiasso. Each piece is different, and the patterns and colors are so fun!



These melamine bowls have the perfect palette, and the contrasting interior is a great touch, $58 for the set of 3



I wish more stuff came with patterns like these...I love them! $18 for a set of 2



This set of utensils also features bright, electric solid colors. Set (7 pieces) $32
