This whale is a vase and the blowhole is where you put your bitty flowers. So adorable! 

How fabulous are these ceramics? They are from a company in Japan called Kusafune, and I have to admit there are some things lost in translation that not even google translate is making clear, but that's what is fantastic about such gorgeous creativity – you really don't need to know the language to fall in love. You can find out more about Kusafune on their blog here, and check out the retailers that carry their ceramics here. 

This sweet elephant vase with the little bird on the back would make any shelf look better.

There is just something about sheep that I can not resist. Where I live they are everywhere, and I am always telling my husband that someday I will own sheep, so before that is possible…I think I'll take all of these please. – Tiffany King

I've been on the hunt (again) for some new items for my house, and was happily wasting time at Haus Interior when I noticed all the lovely wooden items they had added to their shop. They most likely added them a bit ago, but I rarely find the time to shop – so they were new to me and so well designed. I got a kick out of the wooden cake, drink, and cupcake.

I was having such a nice time looking through all the lovely wooden items created by David Stark, that I thought I would look into it a bit more and see what else I could find out. The series is called Wood Shop and appears to be exclusively at Haus Interior. I also saw that Design Sponge had posted about the Wood Shop here and included some nice details about David Stark, that I thought you might apprecaite. You can find those lovely wooden vases here and here.

I couldn't help but love the sweetheart carving kit because it reminded me of this time my husband tried to carve our names into a tree stump but the stump was frozen and he broke his knife. It was pretty hilarious, and I think this kit might boost his carving esteem after that tragic try. I also like the wooden block place card holders because they wouldn't compete with your name cards.

It was during the last months of last year while looking for Christmas gifts that I noticed the great online boutique The Vitrine, because I absolutely heart their collection. The Vitrine was founded by the lovely Blaire Dessent. Blaire was born in San Diego, but now travels back and forth between Paris and New York… in her heart she always knew she wanted to be a 'store-lady' and with a taste like this I understand why…like I said I love her shop and these are some of my favorites: dipped rope necklace; serving bowl; Le Sac and the AstackB candle holders…

… last but not least these Notebooks…enjoy shopping at The Vitrine!

and again I understand why I love this lady's work so much!… more info at the Capacity show.
