For The Flowers

I'm hanging onto summer by my fingernails and still clipping the roses to bring inside, even the tiny little dried up buds that never quite enjoyed their full blooming glory. What to do with the endless summer bouquet? Why, put it in a handmade vase, of course!

This a Large Upcycled Glass Vase from Twofold Designs is handmade from recycled magazine pages and features a water resistant gloss finish and glass interior....bring in the sunflowers!



This Multicolor Raku Cylinder Vase from Madstone Raku might compete with your flowers for attention, but its sleek design makes it a lovely piece long after the flowers are gone.



The Mountain Mist Sculptural Vase from Rising Sky Pottery is a truly artful design for a smallish wildflower display. Includes one mysterious portal underneath.


Some poppies for your poppies. The Sunshine Poppy Garden vase from Love Art Works has a contemporary hand painted design that's positively playful. And, I'll let you in on a little secret...it's yellow inside!


One or two flowers would look just right projecting from the small opening in this organic, nature-inspired ceramic vase from Claytastic

Ah, Summer....parting is such sweet sorrow!

Bathrooms

I don’t know about you but I am always fascinated with other peoples’ bathrooms and especially hotel ones! It is a wonderful feeling when you enter a nice hotel room to have a quick peek at the ensuite facilities especially when you get the ‘wow’ factor as you switch on the illuminations.

Well the following might not be from hotels but they certainly rank high in the ‘wow’ stakes!

Very striking handmade pair of bath soap dishes from Page Pottery

The dishes are hand made and textured. The round feet on the bottom of the dish make it extra cute, especially with the textures on them!

Spring green linen hand towels by Decorative Instincts

These would be perfect for your guests!

Weigh In – set of 2 prints by F2Images

Could be a thoughtful reminder to step on the scales!

Shelf – D by Wood Goods by Don

Now this could be so useful for all those knick knacks or and even hang your hand towel.

The Under the Sea stool would be great in a bath or kids room; anywhere where a step up is needed!
