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.

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.
