At $45, they are about 3.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches long “beak to tail.” The legs and body structure are made with wire, and the body is…

Buying Tea for the Tins
As I sip my morning tea… I’ve always had a bit of a thing for little boxes. My mother may have started it by buying them for me when I was little. So there is nothing I like more than a pretty box or in this case, tea tin: All of these are loose tea…

Conversation Piece
I spotted one of these carved pieces in a magazine and had to look up the source… While I wouldn’t say that the contemporary vibe of Diane Paparo Studio suits my personal taste in furniture, I was quite taken by the few pieces that caught my eye. I would especially love to own one of…
