Since going back to school can feel a little depressing . . .

I thought a happy was in order!

I'm so thrilled to be teaming up with Novica who is working in association with National Geographic to bring some of the most amazing handcrafted items to the world through their online shop.   

When Novica contacted me and asked if I would be interested in a $50 gift certificate for me to personally use as well as an extra one to give away on the Muse to one lucky reader, I jumped at the chance.   Here are few items I'm considering for my gift certificate.  

I adore the crackle finished celadon green ceramics.  They are such a beautiful subtle color and work in so many places.  I could see this filled with white hydrangeas on any table top in my house.

For those who are not a fan of Big Al, here is another option!  With this style vase, it looks just as pretty without flowers and tucked into a bookshelf.

I could use a pair of these soap dishes in my master bathroom next to our sinks.  With this price, I could even get something else!

A small jar like this can be placed in so many different places.  Such a wonderful accessory.  I know you are seeing a pattern here - Celadon Green!

To switch gears, I have lots of dark wood furnishings.  A white accessory like this one really gives you fabulous contrast on the table top of dark wood. Love this hand carved soap stone jar.

These glossy boxes give a space some much needed sparkle.  Their scale works so well on a small side table next to a sofa or chair.
