The beautiful light fixture that you see above really caught my eye at ICFF and made me stop in my tracks to check out the booth of John Pomp Studios, a Brooklyn based company that specializes in custom glass design and lighting fabrication.

These cards are by Mr. Boddington’s Studio and are from their Kyoto collection. I love the chocolate colored Japanese tree lining and the very …

Sorry I’ve been MIA all week. Work has been crazy busy and I’ve also been spending lots of time trying to organize my life and my home. Thursday I took a much needed day off from work and being the adventuress that I am, I decided to rent myself a minivan and drive up to Brimfield, Massachusetts to attend the Brimfield Antique Show.
