WorldStock Fair Trade Collection

I own several well-loved items that were purchased on Overstock, including a table, a rug and some various wall art. I was browsing the site over the weekend and discovered a new (to me) collection of goods called The Worldstock Fair Trade Collection. This is but a sampling of some things I loved:

Regent Chalula Fiesta Porcelain Piggy Bank from China

Wood Everlasting Kiss Statuette from Indonesia

Glass Spectacle Stained Glass Table from Mexico

 Blue Dove Family Ceramic Statuettes from Peru

 

 Wooden Face Eyeglass Holder from India

Paper & Fabric Lucky Elephant String from India

 Engraved Ceramic Plate from Morocco

Set of 6 Banana Fiber Animal Napkin Rings from Kenya

Solena Mugs from Tunisia

Capiz Shell Lotus Turquoise Tea Light Holder from the Philippines

Set of 4 Red Tabouret Stacking Chairs (these aren't from the collection, but I love them and think they're a steal at $180 for the set, or $45 per chair)

The above items are so unique and would make beautiful gifts (for yourself or others). The fact that they are handcrafted by different artisans representing cultures from all over the world really appeals to me. And of course, you really can't beat the affordability of Overstock.

Honey Wood

I think wooden furniture it its natural state (honey colored pine) is so warm, rustic and classic. It easily coordinates with many decor styles and color schemes, which makes it versatile and timeless. In my opinion, a house filled with a variety of wood-based furniture is instantly cozy. These are a few pieces I've been eying recently. Someday when I have the space, I will own a large farmhouse-style wooden dining table, but for now, one (or two) of these smaller-scale items will have to tide me over.

New Table, Flowers, & My Pear

Remember when I was choosing between two round end tables? Well, I chose this one.

It came a few weeks ago and I've been enjoying displaying various flower arrangements on the pretty silver etching.

First, a bunch of sweet daisies in a vintage blue pitcher:


And second, a single white peony in a green glass bottle:



I love how versatile and dainty this table is. Good find.

Also, how cute is my big, fat, shiny pear? I am kind of obsessed with it. I like the contrast of the gold on the silver table.

Pottery Barn Virtual Spree

Recently uncovered some lovely finds at Pottery Barn...

Eying these glass jar votive holders:



And this set of vintage keys ($19):



(the keys displayed via PB):



This lamp strikes the perfect balance of rustic and glam:



Admiring these pillow covers:



And these French Cafe Pillows:



Lusting (so badly) after this Moroccan-Inspired Coffee Table:




I can think of many uses for this Silver-Plated Julep Cup:



And if I lived on the yet-to-be-discovered planet where money grows on trees,
this mirror:



Oof! That (mirror) was a $700 tug of my heart strings, in case you were wondering.


There. Now the desire is documented. Haven't spent a penny (yet). Onwards.

Bar Cart

The styling on this bar cart is so pretty. I wonder if Tiho would go for it? It really does seem like the absolute loveliest way to display alcohol (and peonies...and vintage glassware...).

Round Accent Tables

Our living room is almost done. The last "piece" I've been relentlessly searching for is a small, round accent table to go under one of the windows. I think I've narrowed the search down to the following two:

Metal Accordian Side Table from Urban Outfitters:

Cocktail Tray Table from Overstock (Target also makes a similar one)

I am really stuck on deciding which to purchase. The prices are nearly identical and both would fit into our current decorating scheme. Thoughts? (Or suggestions/recommendations for others?)
