happy 4th eveyone!! bread is baked, chili is made, car is packed and im off the the mountains!! but before i go im going to leave you with a little red white and blue sneak peak -
nd look for these little items soon at cottagefarm
ok - its been a while since ive done a sneak peak as i think it should be reserved for really special items - dont you? so heres one- a nature plate, like the ones we all covet really old lithographs of, only this is the OG (that original) thing - large, hand painted water color and truly truly elegant - ranging in tone from bright blue and yellow butterflies to deep creamy browns and rust ones - normally, i have to be honest, i am not so into the butterfly motif, but this is stunning- an amazing addition to any decor, the visible artists hand, the lovely old paper, the black indian ink boarder - stunning! look for it thursday in my shop
its been posted! check it out in the shop a beautiful apothecary jar. would be beautiful in a window on its own, filled with little memories from your travels or even as a terrarium with a small lady slipper orchid in it perhaps or a lovely fern - a million possibilities
if bliss came in a bowl it would look like this - - part of the bliss contained here is the visibility of the human hand at work, and all from a single piece of wood. there is wonderful grain and texture to this bowl and i like just the slight detail of the arrow-head shaped handle at the end, a perfect spoon rest! there is a versatility in this piece as well - on the coffee table filled with interesting objects from your travels, on a bathroom counter filled with pretty little guest towels, in the kitchen holding your weeks worth of farmers market produce, or my favorite - piled high with a couscous, salad or grilled vegetables at your next dinner party. simply wonderfully - bliss.
i am so in love with this runner - it makes me swoon! the texture, the color, the little bits of the flax woven right in with the linen - aaahh perfectionsee more pictures at http://cottagefarm.etsy.com
