5 Holiday Treats (but not for your tummy)

Enjoy!


First up is a beautiful poinsettia mosaic tray from Catnip Studio Too. The tray itself is a vintage piece measuring approximately 12 inches across and turns atop a lazy-susan. I can't imagine covering up the terrific design with anything, but it would make a gorgeous centerpiece.



Decorating with dishes is fun and easy with this line of decorative handmade ceramic plates from Blue Sky Pottery. This one is a playful green and yellow glazed design with pink and white accents, but there's also an subtler ice blue plate with a white Christmas Tree that is just as wonderful!



I spotted this jolly rendition in a treasury several days ago. The Painted Palm Frond Santa from Suzanne Rall-Smith measures 25 inches high and comes with a leather strap for hanging. I've never seen anything quite like this and I think it may just replace the Wreath as my front door decor of choice....


...That is, if it weren't for this shimmering beauty from Dancing Circle. The Golden Ring Preserved Christmas Wreath is made from Oregon copper salal leaves with a golden sheen (and may just unseat the painted palm frond santa on my front door),



Next up, I discovered this sweet scene from Catbird Studio, which I thought would make a perfect gift and would not even need a frame. It is an orginal painting of a wintry scene, measures approximately 4 x 6 inches and is painted on a sturdy slide mailer.



It dawns on me that prints make a perfect holiday decoration. All they need is a space on the wall or on the book shelf and they store easily the rest of the year (not that they wouldn't be just as beautiful all year round)! Winter Solstice by Gentry Art.

Pillow Fight!

Nobody's really fighting here, but it does sound like fun, doesn't it? Really, we are a selection of stunningly beautiful, high quality, decorative, handmade pillows. We're the missing link, the accent that ties a room together, the pillow hunter's guide to a successful finish. Behold!

These lovely floral designs from lindylou are made from retro designer fabrics. The square pillow covers measure 20" x 20" and the neckroll measures 6" x 20".

These gorgeous silk pillows from PK Fairaday are handpainted, one-of-a-kind fiber art at its finest. They measure 18" x 18".




These hand-stitched, hand-embroidered beauties from pillowhappy are made on a base of white muslin with fleece designs. Each one measures 14" x 14".



The designer colors and fabrics (linen/cotton mix) used by decorative instincts for these contemporary pillows, delight and inspire, adding a touch of old world style (dogs and celtic-like designs) to the most modern room.




These fabulous pillows from Jillian Rene Decor stand out with their unique center button design. Each one measures 16" x 16".



Exquisite "cathedral windows" quilted designs from warmnfuzzies defy any genre of home decor style. I think these gems would be beautiful with almost any aesthetic! Each pillow cover measures 18" x 18".



And just when I thought I was going to wrap it up, I found these luscious designs from Umber Dove! They are made from combinations of cotton and linen with designs overlapping and interlacing with each other. Each pillow cover measures 11.5" x 17.5".
