What struck me the most was their unique collections of designer and artisan wares for your home, that look gorgeous, and fun items to add to your home. I thought I’d show you a few of my favorites items.

Catherine Regehr – Rock Crystal Cushion

I love these pillows from Catherine Regehr, they remind of rock sugar crystals on top of a pastry! Beautiful, simple and love the muted tones.

Catherine Regher

TinyWarbler

Very popular handmade soft animals by Vancouver artist Kate Keeler. I love the giraffe and can see how little hands would adore it too!

Stinson Studios – Bark Edge Salad Bowl

This salad bowl looks so organic, like it was carved right out of a tree, and brought to your table. I enjoy the unfinished edge, and it looks like it is waiting for colorful salad fixings to be added!

Bark Edge Salad Bowl

“The Bark Edge Maple Salad Bowls highlight the natural beauty of the Red Maple. These wooden salad bowls come in two standard sizes with larger salad bowls available upon request. Over the last 30 years the bark edge salad bowls have become the unofficial Stinson Studios signature product. The form reflects the organic orientation of the material and desire to retain as much of the natural tree as possible in the finished piece. This measured balances making each salad bowl unique yet highly functional”

Saikai – Cast iron book end bird feet

Have you ever noticed the most beautiful of home accessories are the simplest? I love these cast iron bookends that look like birds feet! Simple, yet the form looks sturdy and would blend with any decor.

Saikai -Book ends

“Nambu Cast Iron was first made in the middle of 17th century in Iwate. Northern Japan, the area with rich material. A master from Kyoto was summoned by the lord to create an iron pot for tea ceremony, and it was the beginning of Nambu Cast Iron. It became exemplary of JapaneseTraditional Craft, and is still popular today.”
