Brittany Town Morning, Larmor

This stunning painting by Dennis Miller Bunker is held by the Art Institute of Chicago.  I couldn't find it on their site, but I saw it at the museum.  Brittany Town Morning, Larmor is so beautiful, don't you think?

Heart and Eiffel Tower Necklaces

I found these charming (pardon the pun!) necklaces on clearance at Target.  I got them for $5!  I love the sideways Eiffel Tower.

Votive Plaque with God Vishnu

Since I'm taking the jewelry class again I was especially impressed by this piece at the Art Institute.  Votive Plaque with God Vishnu is made of gilt bronze with ivory, semiprecious stones, crystal, and glass.  Stunning.

Lifefactory

Another great discovery at Lucky's was this glass water bottle, made by Lifefactory.  (I actually did get this!)  Drinking from glass is safer and tastes better - and is quite stylish, if I do say so myself!

Foliage--Oak Tree and Fruit Seller

The paintings that the Art Institute holds by Edouard Vuillard are very large and very beautiful.  This one is called Foliage--Oak Tree and Fruit Seller.

Because of Him

Nourish Organic

We spent some time in Missouri over spring break last month and found a fabulous new store in Columbia called Lucky's.  I've been making the transition to more natural health and beauty items, so I was excited to discover Nourish Organic lotion.  The fresh fig scent is especially lovely.  (I may have to go back and pick some up!)

The Banks of the Marne in Winter

I love Pisarro.  The Banks of the Marne in Winter is a very lovely oil painting by Camille Pissarro that is held by the Art Institute.

Purl Color Wheel Quilt

I read an issue of Martha Stewart Living a month or so ago and saw this beautiful quilt from Purl Soho.  They're now selling fabric bundles to make this quilt.  I love the idea, but I'm sure it's beyond my skill level!

Assorted Zum Bag

It's been a few years since I posted about Zum soap from Indigo Wild.  When we were in Missouri for spring break, we stayed at the Hotel Frederick in Boonville.  They have Zum soap samples in their rooms and offer a few items in their gift shop.  I picked up this Assorted Zum Bag, and it's fantastic:  Frankincense and Myrrh mini soap, Lavender & Tea Tree lip balm, etc.  I'm excited to try all of the products!
