Tree of Enchantment Glass Orbs

Filed under: Decor

We all have things that consistently appeal to us, and I always find myself drawn to art that represents the seasons. These 4 Tree of Enchantment Glass Orbs, designed by Stephen Kitras, are hand blown with a "trunk" in the center that branches out into the orb. Meant to represent winter, spring, summer, and fall, spots of jewel tone colors form the leaves of the trees (or in the "winter" one it could be snow) in corresponding colors like greens for spring and browns/golds for fall. The whole set would look beautiful hanging together in a bright window, or one alone switched out every few months. 6" diameter, $45 each.

City Sidewalk Christmas Cards

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

When you want something other than the typical Hallmark greeting card for the holidays, it can sometimes be difficult to know where to look. Gradin Road has a set of City Sidewalk Christmas Cards that are elegant and seasonal, without being over-the-top on either count. They are embossed, foil stamped and printed on heavyweight card stock with red-lined baronial flap envelopes. The greeting is pre-fab, but you can add your own customized signature to your order to be printed up before the cards are shipped. The price ranges from $119 for 25 cards to $269 for a package of 100.

Godiva Pumpkin Patch Truffles

One reason to drop in to Godiva this month is to try their Pumpkin Patch Truffles. Instead of just wrapping up chocolates in orange and black wrappers in a weak attempt at seasonality, the chocolatier goes all-out by creating a uniquely fall-flavored confection. The truffles have a pumpkin-spiced ganache center and are coated in a velvety milk chocolate. As a final touch, the truffles are lightly dusted with cinnamon before being wrapped up link miniature pumpkins - complete with tiny leaves. It's $12.50 for a 3.25-ounce package with five truffles.
