Cast Iron Pumpkin Cocotte High/Low

The Staub cast iron pumpkin cocotte or dutch oven has become a kitchen and especially fall classic. Many people leave theirs on their range as part of fall decor. And it so wonderful for making and serving fall stews and soups.

The Wicker Elephant Table High/Low

CCC

I am such a fan of wicker elephant side tables. They make a wonderful statement piece for any lover of chinoiserie. At CCC, I have vintage and new versions and love them all.  This looks so good next to a chair, bed, or sofa. Style it with beautiful coffee table books, magazines, a wonderful candle, a pretty orchid, a small vase with fresh flowers, or whatever you like.

The Wicker Wine Tote

Ralph Lauren Bailey Wicker Wine Tote

 

I am quite often going to someone's home and bringing a bottle of wine to have with the meal. A wine tote is perfect to transport the wine safely and even keep it chilled. And those paper wine gift bags can cost $3 or $4 each and they don't protect the bottle or keep it chilled in transit. This Ralph Lauren wine tote is so elegant and a lovely choice.

The Triple Gourd Wicker Lamp High/Low

For those of us with high ceilings, tall faux trees can be a dramatic addition to a room. Unfortunately, this drama can come with a steep price tag. Faux olive trees have been very popular the last few years. I have one and love it. A bit of Tuscany for your home.
