I don't have enough projects for all the pieces I have collected. So you will find them at Vintage Home Shop and in some of my favorite shops on Etsy. English Shop English Shop
I happened to notice Cathrineholm designs on Pinterest...classic mid century modern to me...with a touch of Scandinavian. The Lotus design intrigued me. During a romp through Goodwill, I love my romps by the way, I found a basket of nick nacks and inside this little collection were three spice jars. Could they be Cathrineholm? I peeked at the base and found a Made in Japan sticker. Uh? Well a quick google search on my phone revealed that, yes, Cathrineholm manufactured in Japan for the American market. Good to know. I bought the basket for a song. Took them home. Posted them on my Etsy Shop and a mere 6 hours later they were sold to a collector in Norway. That day my love affair with Cathrineholm began. Because of the sale. No. Because of the beauty and the simple design of the pieces. The more research I do, the deeper my obsession becomes. The designer responsible for this striking collection was a woman by the name of Grete Prytz Kittelsen and is she if oft times referred to as the “Queen of Scandinavian Design”. I will continue to search and research the collection. I hope to send them on to
collectors...so let me know if you are interested and I will give you first chance before I list them. Add your name and e-mail address below. Christina over at The Olive Tree Blog is running a giveaway today!

Treasuries on Etsy feature vintage and handmade items...these are ones I collected in the story of Serena. Little Serena is a baby who underwent open heart surgery at 8 days old. All of the blood was drained from her body, her core temperature was taken to hypothermia, her heart was repaired and then her heart was restarted. She is only a couple months old now, but she is the bravest "little woman" I have ever know. I muse over her life as an adult...because I know she will live and thrive. 'Serena Discovers French Cooking' by VintageHomeShopAfter the heartache and the healing, Serena goes to market and starts her journey into French cooking...
Wabi-sabi 佗寂 represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". Discarded. Camille Bonnell Neglected. Resurrected.

While grey has been trending in fashion for the last 2 seasons. Many tones of grey are becoming more accepted by the consumer. With a base of browns making a warm grey, and blues that create a cool grey, customers are looking at grey with new eyes.

Do you collect Pyrex or just use it..I kinda do both...I serve in it and prepare...is that alright?... and do you need to hand wash Pyrex? Collectors out there would you help me? |
