Loving: Joe Cariati Glass

I've been aware of Joe Cariati glass for a while, but I didn't know until just recently that he was responsible for the gorgeous decanter (see below) in Sex and the City 2!  

I've been obsessed with it since I spotted in on the console table in foyer Carrie & Big's apartment (I'm not a huge fan of the show, but it's worth seeing for the fashion alone!).  

It's the called Petite Decanter Low Round and while I think the blues are gorgeous the the pink is also a fab option! Want!  

Back on the topic of SATC2 (a little late I know), we have a blue velvet sofa in almost the exact same shade as the one in Carrie & Big's living room.  I also love the blue "Lola Ottoman" by Anne Kyyro Quinn, though I worry about it's durability.

Set decoration for SATC is by Lydia Marks, production design is by Jeremy Conway, and you can see more of the apartment at Architectural Digest.com.

Butterflies: Bug Under Glass

Yes it's yet another Etsy related post, this time about Bug Under Glass.

Growing up I was in love with a blue framed butterfly my parents had hanging on a wall in our home, and I vowed to convince them to give it to me one day. Unfortunately sun exposure through the window "bleached" the butterfly and he's no longer as beautiful as he once was.

Funnily enough just this week I had been browsing online at Deyrolle's website, looking for framed butterflies while figuring I couldn't afford them, when I stumbled across a post on one of my favorite blogs (and one of the first blogs I started reading) Decor8. The post mentioned Bug Under Glass and their gorgeous collection of framed butterflies and bugs. Not only affordable but all sourced ethically from WWF approved sources. Joy!
