While making these gift toppers, I was probably dreaming of this wallpaper. I can't wait to freshen a patch of wall with a botanical pattern like this.

Handmade gift toppers via kuwatani - designed to tape inside a card and send to someone special or imagine one of the stems on top of a box to unwrap and find this lovely Cecile Daladier vase via ceciledaladier inside!

A playfully cheery yet grown up mix of colors, texture and form seen in the eclectic handmade pin from kuwatani and the breezy garden viewed at chanticleer garden.

beachcombing has to be one of the most relaxing and inspiring activities for me and my family. you really sink in to the sand and focus only on the treasures under the ripples of the water and beneath or sometimes on top of the dry layers of sand and rocks. everything you touch, smell, hear and see swirls together calming the senses...it really ought to be a part of our daily routine. if not, then the collections and interior below are thoughtful reminders of the beachcombing experience.  soon the trio of lavender filled sea pebbles (work in progress shown bottom left) inspired by our latest trek to the beach will be in the shop.

sink into the images below and enjoy whatever calms you.
