Poor Bunny

Anthropologie Bunny Snuffer

 

I have posted before about Anthropologie's elegant brass candle snuffers in animals like leopards and lions. Candle snuffers are not only beautiful but quite functional, preventing soot and smoke.

Thinking of Spring

Casa Branca

 

I love beautiful linen cocktail napkins and have quite a collection, both vintage and new. I use them for serving cocktails and wine as well as beverages like iced tea and sparkling water. I also love using them for setting the table for a pop of color. Here is another great idea - on a serving tray. The tray looks a lot like Amanda Lindroth's wicker Island Trays. I really miss her old website. Luckily I have half a dozen of her trays and use them all over CCC.

Heirloom Pumpkins in January - What????

CCC

First up, how much is that doggy in the window?

I  posted before in the autumn about my love for heirloom pumpkins both for their beauty and their longevity. I got all these celadon pumpkins back in September for fall and Halloween decorating. After Halloween they were still perfect so I decided to keep them until Thanksgiving. 

Dollhouse Chinoiserie

CCC

I have two dollhouses at CCC. This one above is my garden folly filled with chinoiserie. It has needlepoint rugs, Chinese porcelain, blue and white Chinese garden stools, antique textiles, all kinds of beautiful things. I understand the appeal of miniatures. When reality gets crazy, it is a wonderful escape.
