Oiva Toikka Owl Collection

Filed under: Decor, Art

Some things just make me smile to look at them, and this nerdy-looking little owlet is one of them. It's part of a whole collection of owls, and I really think I want more than just one. Each piece is individually mouth-blown and hand-crafted of glass in Finland, with obvious great attention to detail. Would make a great gift for bird lovers and art lovers alike, with each owl catching the essence of its corresponding inspiration amazingly well. This owlet, for example, really does look like a young baby bird! And the others, the Barn Owl and Little Barn Owl, are just as detailed. £60-£153 each.

Prospetto Lighting Creazione Collection

Filed under: Decor

This hanging chandelier light is definitely beautiful, but you also want to make sure you hang it somewhere where there's no danger of someone putting an eye out -- not a good choice to dangle low over a dining room table or buffet for instance. The Prospetto Lighting Creazione Collection consists of this lamp in a variety of colors (shown here in "fruit") as either chandelier or floor lamp styles in small, medium, and large sizes. Handmade of mouth-blown glass it looks like an explosion of party ribbons, perfect for a room that needs a touch of whimsy to lighten the mood. Priced at $8999.99 and up.
