Hello everyone, hope all is well. I just came across these gorgeous kitchen appliances in gold!! I’ve not come across gold yet for appliances and I instantly fell in love. I especially like that it’s a subtle color, it’s not too flashy. I found them today at the Joss & Main sale, it’s on for the next couple days so hurry before they are gone, the prices are really reasonable as well (see below). I picked up the toaster myself, what a great way to add glam to your kitchen!

If per chance you missed the sale, I found them at Amazon.com – Maya Kitchen Appliances

Shop: Joss & Main

Tip: If you’re purchasing items that are of great value to you, it’s a good idea to get content insurance, you never know.

luxxury livving — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:57:38 +0000

As we all know October is Breast Cancer awareness month and there are many opportunities to support this cause with your purchases this month. As we all have items in mind we like to purchase, we can make a conscious effort to support this cause at the same time. Here are some great ideas to get you started.

Greeting and Note Cards
I personally think you can never have too many cards. There are so many reasons to give a card, birthday, thank you, anniversary and my favorite: just because. Cards make people feel special. Taking the time to write a card to friends and loved ones is a great way to spread love and joy.

Currently, Cardstore.com this fabulous offer: Go Pink for Breast Cancer – 40% of all proceeds from the Pink Collection go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Kitchen
Kitchen products are a plenty when it comes to products that support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® including this lushess KitchenAid Mixer… how much do I luv this color! Shop: KitchenAid Artisan Design 5-Quart Stand Mixer, Raspberry Ice… now I just need to learn to cook/bake so I can buy this myself!.

Happy shopping!

It’s a Tea Time

luxxury livving — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:26:42 +0000

I was just browsing through the wonderful blog Young House Love and noticed a lovely Elephant Teapot in their “We’re Digging” section and I instantly fell in love with it. My favorite animal is the elephant, they’re beautiful creatures. I do drink tea sometimes, but I think I need expand my tea drinking palate. I recently discovered David’s Tea and purchased some unique loose leaf tea blends to try, they are very tasty. Anyways, I digress… back to the Elephant Teapot, isn’t it darling!

So I searched around a bit to find other lovely tea accessories. Them I came across this ingenious invention Fred & Friends Teacup Cakes Cupcake Mold shaped as tea cups… how pretty, you’ll be the buzz of your friend at your next get together.

Then I thought, how can we incorporate color into your tea vignette? I found these lovely bright Moroccan Tea Glasses Morjana in Turquoise. They are to pretty to keep in a cupboard, I would keep them out on display.

In one of my most recent trips to Homesense, I found this cute tea canister with elephants on it and thought it would look great on my kitchen shelf… yes I did just by it because it’s adorable but I soon found out it’s delicious too. I purchased wild berry tea which is a mix of raspberry and strawberry… yum! I found the my cup of tea website, simply adorable.

Enjoy.

Even if you don’t cook, they look gorgeous! I personally like to purchase things that are not only practical, but that are beautiful.

Wine Knot

Wine Knot

What a great find! I want this for my house, it’s like art and it’s functional!

Product Description: The Wine Knot is a seven bottle wine rack (six regular bottles and one oversized). The use of two intersected molded plywood components, one birch & one walnut, creates the pockets for each bottle by working together with its “mating” component, an idea that’s common to products in this line.
