CONCRETE DOG This stately water spaniel deserves the honored spot beside the library desk or the fireplace. As this is man’s best friend, it is not surprising that it is one of our best selling gifts for men. The aged patina is superbly done. The detailing will inspire you to name him. Yes, it is a boy.

CARVED PINE BRACKETS They say it’s all in the details and these brackets are all about detail. I have used similar pieces over a gas stove as part of a grand scale shelf loaded with cookbooks, spices, oils and a porcelain chicken. I have also used them as mere framing inside a pass through from living room to dining room. But don’t stop there. Mount them low on either side of a bed and top with stone for floating nightstands.

IRON POT RACK I sell this particular pot rack because it is small enough to make a subtle statement in any French Country kitchen without stealing the show. It is simple, sturdy and offers an elegant line. It will accommodate showy copperware, dried flowers or a mix of baskets. This piece also gives some visual variation to the typical flat walled kitchen and provides visual interest up high.

IRON FIREPLACE GRATE Definitely feminine and charming. It really doesn’t matter whether you have a working fireplace or not. Incorporate this grate into a bathroom design and the mood immediately swings to romantic – fire or not!

CONCRETE PIG How can you refuse this face? In the garden, by the front door or next to the bathtub, this little guy will surely provide a smile or two all year long. Our daughter named ours and I'm sure a collar will soon follow.

TEA BOX WITH FEET I adore boxes of any kind and this one speaks to me because of its delicate feet. I think it would make a fantastic tea bag holder, but of course I'm also crazy about tea!

POPPY TEA BOX It is the coloring of the poppies that make this box a beauty. I have it displayed with tea bags but could see it with jewelry or keys or anything in need of a colorful home.

CANDLE STICK BOX This is a playful way to hide away the bills that collect upon our desks until we want to see them. Or, perhaps on the other extreme, you are more in need of a love letter box?
