gleena seconds giveaway

Four rustic bowls, glaze irregularities and a small piece of kiln shelf coating on the bottom of one of the bowls.


Two roomie cups, uneven glaze, and a small bald spot.


Two wee tea cups, uneven glaze with a few bald spots.

The pieces above have glaze imperfections, and I would like to find them a home. Each piece was made by hand using my special formula porcelain, but the glaze just did not sit right. The pieces are food, microwave and dishwasher safe. Leave me a comment and let me know which items you are interested in adopting.

I will be away for two weeks, and if there are a lot of takers, I will draw names out of a hat and announce the new owners upon my return on July 13th. Shipping is included in the free price, though I will only ship in the US. Click on the images for a larger view.

A Fairytale Dream

Welcome to my fairytale dream, where I live in this small but magical tree house, filled with only pretty things, like sparkling fairy lights...

plenty of fashion magazines and shopping boxes

antique furnitures and soft pillows on the bed

where it snows sparkles

for dinner? Macarons of course!

the neighbours? Mermaids

lol, kinda childish but I sure do like to day dream ;)

monday inspiration

The three day sale at the Newport Flower Show was a mixed experience: beautiful location, incredibly organized event, super fun neighbors, very slow economy. This morning, feeling a bit run down, I looked around the web for some inspiration, and came across these typographical works by Hanna Viktorsson. Hanna's "Incomplete Manifesto on Growth" reminded me that it is important to do what I love and to love what I do, the financial rewards are secondary. I broke even at the sale this past weekend, and that's pretty darn good.

Just Peachy

I never really follow the fashion trends (too lazy!) so I don't know if nudes are in or not at the moment, but in my opinion, nudes are always chic. These soft delicate shades that is sweet yet feminine has always been one of my favorite colours.

{all from Net-a-porter.com }

I'm travelling back to Bath today after staying at home for 2 weeks, but still haven't packed a single thing! So sorry but I will annouse the winners of the Scarves Giveaway tomorrow, I promise! :)

Celebrities and their Watches

I have a watch fetish and its fun to see which watch is adorned in the hands of celebs.

Lets check out some of their watches.

1. Reese Witherspoon - In real life its the Rolex President in yellow gold that adornes her wrist most of the times. Reese has some sentimental values attached to her Rolex President. Though, in the movie 'Four Chritmases', Reese Witherspoon was wearing the fab Cartier Roadster Watch. I totally love Cartier Roadster.

.
2. Princess Diana - The elegant and sophisticated Princess Diana used to wear an 18 carat Cartier Tank Francaise watch.

Cartier's Tank Watch is quite popular with celebrities and is adorned on the wrists of the likes of Angelina Jolie, Naomi Campbell, Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan. Even the late US President John F. Keneddy was a fan of Cartier Tank Watch. Even the First Lady Michelle Obama has been spotted wearing a Tank Francaise. Louis Cartier's Tank watch has been the cult object du jour since decades and continues to be so.

Cartier watches are known for attracting celebrities and royalty, as they are without a doubt the crème-de-la-crème of fine watch making. Whether your taste in watches is flamboyant or conservative, modern or classic, there is a distinctive Cartier timepiece just for you.

You like Cartier Tank Watch?

.
3. Shilpa Shetty - Shilpa Shetty wears a huge men sized Rolex Yacht-Master.

There is something with celebs and Rolex. I think there wouldn't be any celebrity without a Rolex - Cameron Diaz, Jessica Alba, Will Smith, Saif Ali Khan, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, Mean Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker and the list goes on...

.
4. Britney Spears - Britney wears Roger Dubuis watch. Among her favorites, there are also Chopard Montres Dame and Breitling watches.

.
5. Halle Berry - The sexy Halle Berry loves wearing her Franck Muller Casablanca 2852.

.
6. Sylvester Stallone - You may not know but Stallone has a watch fetish and has a huge watch collection. His favourite though is watches by Panerai, which he is often seen wearing.

flowers and tents at rosecliff mansion

Flowers and foliage on exhibit at the Newport Flower Show.

The Newport Flower Show is being held at Rosecliff, in whose ballroom The Great Gatsby (1974) was filmed. The location is stunning, and my view from the booth is of white tents and the ocean. After a stormy Friday (lightning and thunder), today was gorgeous. The sun dried the lawn in the morning, and in the afternoon, the fog rolling in off the water cooled things off. A three day sale is tough, but this location makes it so much easier. I take frequent breaks to look at the many many incredible flowers and arrangements on display. Click on the images for a larger view of the loveliness.

The back lawn overlooking the ocean, dotted with vendor tents.

Emma Watson - Looking Lovely in Teen Vogue

British star Emma Watson, famous for her role in Harry Potter, looks lovely in Teen Vogue's August 2009 edition.
.

.

Emma on her style: She likes to play safe with the sophisticated Chanel. She says,"I live, really, in jeans from Topshop, blazers from Ralph Lauren or Reiss, and ballet flats. It’s very hard to describe your own style and I’m young, so I’m still experimenting. But I think it’s quite British and very much about individuality. There’s nothing interesting about looking perfect—you lose the point. You want what you’re wearing to say something about you, about who you are".

From 2001 to 2007, Ms Watson starred in five Harry Potter films alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint. Her role in Harry Potter has won her several awards.

In case you don't know, Emma is also the new face of Burberry, and currently feaures in their Autumn Winter 2009 Campaign. British girl, for a British brand.
