Eight Fab Finds For Your Home

Following my recent surgery, I have spent quite a bit of time at home. Besides blogging, I have assessed some of my home decor needs and wants. The list is long. But to me, nothing is worth buying unless it is special. We all have enough "stuff." So I spent the day looking for finds that had that certain something, that went beyond function.  These eight products have the cool factor in both form and function.  I thought they were just fab!

Solar Power Lanterns

At first glance this photo reminded me of the patio at the original Tavern on The Green in NYC. Those lanterns in every shape and color were just magical. These late Summer evenings will soon turn into Autumn nights. The daylight ends earlier with each day. Yet the evenings are beautiful. Stay out a little longer with these lovely lanterns powered by solar energy. They are made to withstand all weather, so you can keep the party going all year long.

I was intrigued by this photo, and I thought you might be, too. It's actually one of the coolest bar carts I have ever seen.

Del Sol Basket Set
This photo took me back. I did something like this on a wall in my very first married apartment. Not half as good as this set, however. The Del Sol Baskets have been handwoven in South Africa. The artistry is 
really amazing.

There's something magical about a wind chime to me. They always remind me of my Mother, who loved the sound of her own (now mine) as they tinkled in the wind.  These have been made on the Willamette River in Portland. I thought they were special.
