Love, actually.

Magical!!

Stay tuned for our next window coming at the end of May!!

What's in our Gallery?

Saturday night's opening was a smashing success!  Here are some pics from Tuesday morning before we opened so no one would be standing in front of the incredible art.  This show must be seen to be believed.  The detail is extraordinary.  Every view will bring new insights.

Stay tuned to  the blog and I'll show you what we've done with old coffee sacks!

Treasures From Our Travels

On a recent trip to Turkey we picked up a selection of tiny perfume bottles.  The artisans blend colored and clear glass to produce these wonderfully delicate bottles.

As you probably know Turkey is not just about perfume bottles.  Turkey gives us one the clearest windows into ancient history.  From the Library of Celsus...

to Crusader castles, Turkey is fantastic vacation destination.

Redesigned furniture

See what a little love from Dustmuffin can do to furniture.  Repainted by Diana Jacobs the mirror and vanity are standouts.  The lamps are also vintage with new shades.

Talking of vintage, we have just acquired this beautiful Dayton, Ohio scale.

Repurposed Vintage Finds

Inside or out, here's what to do with a spittoon...

or a watering can...

or even a vintage metal jug...

Put a bird in it

Super cute felt birdhouses will have your feathered friends all-a-flutter.

Easy move-in, penthouse apartment for the urban bird.  Well situated, great views and cathedral ceilings make this the must-have pad of the year.

Wanna cuddle?

Snuggle up with this guy.  He's filled with lavender which is renowned for it's calming qualities.  What makes this doggie even better is you can heat him up.  Warm, cuddly and lavendery.  I'm feeling drowsy already.

And here's a picture of lavender growing in Sonoma.

What's a Fascinator?

A fascinator is a decorative headpiece as seen below.

This one is from by Lily Sioux who will be at Dustmuffin, Saturday, May 5, 2012 from 11 a.m. onwards, with more fascinators, hats and headbands.  We also have other head pieces designed by Diana Jacobs and Jolie.
