Happy New Year!!

“Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly.”

Land Rich

Beautiful ornamental bulbs by We Are Land Rich shop in Brooklyn (NY). Perfect for the holidays decorations. I wish I was able to visit their shop.....

Elena Massari

Fashion Designer Elena Massari is into the "silent movies", and she did translate this feeling into her collection. I have to say that recently I was watching several Hercule Poirot movies myself and the beauty of the costumes was an inspiration for my fall/winter looks. So Elena dresses are perfect for me!

Umanosolare

Dear Blog Friends here some lovely pieces of an italian architect turned jewelery designer.

You can buy her necklaces and brooches here.

                                      

                                         

Laesse ceramiche

I am really happy to introduce to you my last discovery!

LAESSE is a ceramic atelier based in Oderzo (Treviso), they produce lovely products for the table. I like the simple shapes and the soft colours, they are beautiful objects for the everyday use. The catalogue is under the art direction of designer Stafania Vazzoler. I am really glad to see that italian designers are into small, well crafted and limited series.
