Sadly, now that the holidays are over you have to undo the joy you had decorating your home and tree. Here's a way to keep some of that lingering around throughout the winter blahs. Set up some large tree branches in vases and hang your favorite ornaments. Then use some of the lights to brighten it up. If you have a fire place, set this up in front or you can set it up on your table. Any place where you can admire it and keep your spirits high. Too bad they don't stock eggnog anymore a little splash of bourbon in it would do us good on these cold nights.
I am sure you've observed that I have posted quite a few posts on rings. I was deep in research for my first stacking ring. NYC was part of a holiday getaway and I came across the one at Bergdorf's. I was gifted this Carolina Bucci ring. It's the perfect beginning of a stack. My love affair with rose gold begins here. No worries, rings posts will continue because I am looking out for 2 more friends to accompany this sweet new one.
Happy 2011! Shake is still on holiday. Tune in as of Jan. 10...lots to share.

Shake is excited celebrate Christmas this year. Its our first Christmas and I am trying to make it as special as possible because it will be memorable one. We always remember our first events. wink wink. So in the spirit of the holiday and in the spirit of design I kicked into gear and attempted to make some decorations...
This buddy of Shake's hangs around looking over projects at the office.
He remains nameless...any ideas?

I've been very intrigued with stacking rings. Combining these ones i found with thin diamond ones are very sweet around the finger.
The artist Victoria Mason is a talent! Check out these foodie versions for people like you and me.
This holiday season there are so many craft fairs to attend. This weekend we headed to the Plateau where the most talented ones are found. We came across these gems who's artist information I misplaced. I adore these little creatures. Imagine taking over a whole section above the mantle of your fireplace of these miniature fake taxidermy.
When I was in design school, my final year project revolved around transparencies. Industrial design school introduces you to textiles, wood, metal, plastic. Acrylic was my best friend. So when i come across design pieces like this, i salivate. I came across this photo on Apartment Therapy.

I love discovering anything vintage. Dropping a vintage design into a contemporary setting is very exciting. This website i discovered does just that. The works here fit in any modern day settings but still maintains an old school shape with an exciting new twist. My mother always preaches to me to leave the past in the past...but no matter what its past is, look now at its bright future.
