Richard Ginori Folkware

A recent issue of House Beautiful introduced me to the Richard Ginori 1735 web site. I really love the folkware line of tableware. It's so bright and happy.

Juliska Cornerstones

I've seen these ceramic trays advertised in House Beautiful a couple of times, and I really like them. They are from the Cornerstones collection by Juliska. I'm sure that part of what attracted me was the styling of the ads, but I think they would be a lovely gift.

Thursday Text: Madeleine Castaing

The latest issue of House Beautiful had a quote that I liked by the French decorator Madeleine Castaing:

"Love is essential to the decoration of a house. ... A room must say, 'My love is here,' or 'My love has just left,' or 'I'm waiting for my love to arrive.'"

Crowns

A while back in House Beautiful, they did a little article about crowns and how they're everywhere. I really love the trend. Here's a votive and a hook. See them all here.
