]]>Bring the Outdoors In
The first find for your tabletop should be a main focal piece. This will evoke the theme of the Thanksgiving dinner. The cheapest and easiest way to adorn a Thanksgiving centerpiece is with finds from nature. Unfortunately, we all aren’t living near pine trees and holly berry bushes. Skip the insects and allergies and go with nature-inspired elements for your tabletop.
The Arteriors Kazu Natural Root Small Sculpture is an actual tree root stylized by nature. Create the ultimate tablescape by evoking nature in the walls around your Thanksgiving table. The Gold Leaf Design Green Wall with Pixelated Succulents featuring living succulents in a vertical work of art.
Focus on the Details
Once you have settled on the main piece of decor, start bringing in accessories. These details that will keep your guests entertained in between bites of smoked turkey or vegan roast. Start with the right serve ware, such as the Regina Andrew Design Bone Tray with Bamboo Handles or the Ivory Grey Shagreen Hex Tray to hold condiments or small dishes.
Upgrade your basic silverware for the Swahili African Modern salad servers. The Kenyan Antelope Antler Salad Servers, Wild Olive Wood and Bone Salad Server Hands, or Lion Paw Salad Server Set each brings their own story to the dinner table. These servers add character to any Thanksgiving tabletop centerpiece.
Take It From the Top
While most hostesses focus on the actual tabletop for the centerpiece, why not elevate the space? Choose a variety of sizes of the Hanging Orb Planter by Gold Leaf Design Group. This allows you to combine the natural theme with a more modern approach to Thanksgiving decor.
Splash Up the Space
A final tip that will take your tablescape to Thanksgiving Day level, go for the gold, silver, bronze, or some other metallic hue. The shine of a Gold Leaf Design Group piece, whether it is the Galileo Diamond Model or the Crystal 11” H Pedestal, adds luster to any centerpiece. The glitter and sparkle of a metal piece will glisten up the space to match the festive food of any Thanksgiving dinner.
Look for Trovati Studio to guide your holiday-inspired decor with unique designer home goods.
]]>Mid-Century Mood Lighting
The Mid-Century vibe is here to stay throughout the holidays. Give your mood lighting and upgrade by focusing on retro-inspired lighting sources. The fabulous Arc Floor Lamp in natural brass gets a gold star. Yet the Brigitte Floor Lamp, also in natural brass for warmth, features those Instagram worthy tripod legs with the oversized lamp shade.
Use these lighting sources as the main mood lighting in your backgrounds for all of your holiday Snapchats and like-able pics. These oversized lights also serve to fill up an empty space, while keeping your design on point with the much-desired Mid-Century trend. Another expert tip: use large lamps and candles for a more natural glow in place of glaring overhead ceiling lighting in the winter season.
Nature Inspired Indoors
Oversized floral prints are on trend in a big way. Grandiose blossoms in rich Raphael inspired hues on a dark backdrop? Check. Some other ways you can follow through with this holiday decor trend include updating your area rugs. Opt for the oversized floral prints on the fuchsia Loloi Madeline Rug and the aqua-green Loloi Wild Bloom Rug.
Best of all, these deep, dark floral designs will work right into spring. Keep in mind that large-scale flowers have the tendency to capture the space. Use this trend as a main focal point in an otherwise minimalist color scheme.
Scandinavian Style
Speaking of minimalism and nature-inspired decor, the Scandinavian style remains strong this holiday season. Along with these two key elements, this interior decorating style focuses on bright white and natural colors. Think wood grain and soft gray furs for prints and textiles that define hygge.
Several exciting wall art Trovati pieces fit the Scandi seasonal style. These include coral wall art featuring real coral molded in resin and plated in blackened silver or our Sand Dollar Wall Art. Both showcase simplistic yet sophisticated design taken from nature, which is quintessential Scandinavian. For some warmth in your space, pick up the Jaipur Hamlim Throw, a wool blend fur blanket that is eco-friendly.
Update Your Holiday Decor
Stay warm and stylish in your welcoming space this holiday season with Trovati products. Check out our newest products for your home and outdoor space. Trovati Studio home goods also make great gifts for the holiday season.
]]>A new season inspires change. Fall, in particular, brings in a season of comfort and festivity. The chill in the air and the falling of leaves reminds us that all things need time for rest and renewal.
As we spend more time indoors with the ones we love, we are inspired to change our decor to reflect the season. Let us take a cue from nature and make our home a haven for warmth and gathering. With a few minor changes, we can take our home from a summery fun to a cozy fall.
With fall, there is so much to take inspiration from. Deep hues, thick knits, and seasonal accessories reflect the beauty of autumn. No matter the style of your home, there are many ways to let fall inspire your decor.
As the days get shorter, we require more light in the home. A decorative table lamp in the living room will offer a soft glow more relaxing than overhead lighting. Find a table lamp that blends seamlessly with your decor for functional accessorizing.
Deeper metals like gold and bronze are perfect for the autumnal season. Side tables, hardware, and decorative accessories are easily swapped for the season. Don’t want to remove anything? Add in darker metals for a mixed metal look.
Cozying up is one of the more appealing parts of fall. Have a favorite throw blanket ready on the couch for movie night. Bonus points for choosing a throw that is both decorative and comfortable!
Add a warm light to your evening setting with candles. Opt for the more chic option with decorative hurricanes and lanterns. These accessories will heighten your setting and provide functionality.
Switch your bright summer pillows for something more reflective of the season. Reds, oranges, and browns are the first colors that come to mind, but hues like royal purple and navy blue are just as fitting for fall.
Anywhere Fireplace Manhattan Fireplace
Don’t have room for a traditional fireplace? Enjoy the ambiance of a fireplace in any room with Anywhere Fireplace. Available in tabletop, floor, and wall-mounted models, you can have the luxury of a fireplace in any space.
Fill your vases with fall-inspired florals. Try Chrysanthemums, dahlias, sunflowers, and roses decorated with oak leaves, dried greenery, and ornamental cabbage.
Upon first look, the Twoolies Collection by Eleven Design Studio radiates a spirited personality. The bright colors and loveable characters have an instant charm that no age is immune to. However, this whimsical nature only tells part of the story. The Twoolies Collection is rooted in an age-old art form that is still flourishing today.
In the highlands of South Mexico, Mayan weavers hand make the twoolies on a manual loom. These decorative pieces are designed by architect Sindy Posso and combine modern concept with native design. Every piece has unique combination of colors and patterns that make every Twoolie unique.
This traditional Mayan art form dates back about 2,000 years. Textile weaving was a skill for women of high rank and their decorated dress was a sign of wealth. Although considered noble practice, all Mayan women learned to weave and the grade of cotton signified their rank.
The art of weaving is passed down from generation to generation and holds both social and spiritual significance. According to ancient Mayan myth, the goddess Ix Chel taught the first woman how to weave and each woman has learned down from her.
Not only econonmically beneficial, the craft of weaving gives Mayan women a bond to their ancestry and culture. Their work commonly features traditional imagery such as glyphs, geometric shapes, and botany.
For weaving, women use a traditional backstrap loom which attaches to the waist. Although threads and designs have adapted throughout the years, the backstrap loom has changed little and is still used for weaving today.
Watch a skilled weaver use a backstrap loom here.
While the Twoolies’ bright hues are ultra-fitting for a child’s room, the collection is designed to be styled in every room of the home. It is the designer’s hope that the playful nature of the Twoolies Collection will inspire imagination.
Posso has worked alongside the Mayan artists to develop a modern representation of this traditional craft. The Twoolies collection introduces this artform into the contemporary home with a unique perspective.
The kalimba- an African percussion instrument- goes by a number of names: the mbira, karimba, sanza, and finger piano, to name a few. Each cultural group in Africa has their own name for the instrument and their own tuning and layout. The variations of the kalimba number near the thousands.
The kalimba is a part of the Lamellophone family, which includes instruments that contain a series of plates that can be depressed and then released for sound. It consists of a hollow resonator made from calabash gourds, metal tin, or wood. The instrument is played by plucking the tines and it has a unique, unmistakeable sound. Traditionally, they are played in a hollow item, such as a gourd, to heighten the tone.
The date and place of origin for this instrument varies; some have been dated by archeologists as early as 1000 BC.
Curated by Swahili African Modern, the kalimba pianos we carry are handmade by artisans in Kenya. Under a fair trade cooperative, the artisans make a sustainable wage in good working conditions. It is both our and Swahili African Modern’s hope to promote the work of these artisans so that their products may flourish on a global scale. These rustic mbiras are created with a hollow wooden box with burned designs and they have a western scale.
The kalimba is a beautiful gift for those who appreciate the history of African music and are a great way to introduce the culture to younger generations. They can be used for musical purposes or as a decorative item.
Listen to a traditional playing of this instrument here!
Leonetto Cappiello: "The Father of Modern Advertising"
Leonetto Cappiello’s career began on the threshold of modernization and his posters reflected such. In an age where cars were becoming prevalent in everyday life, posters needed to be clear in order to be seen at a quick pace. For this reason, Cappiello preferred simplicity over detail and would become the pioneer of the “modern poster”.
Originally a caricature artist, Cappiello defined his most famous style of work in the early 1900’s. It was during this time that he began using fairy-tale like creatures and human caricatures in his work. The bright colors and ostentatious characters appealed to many and Cappiello found himself with numerous imitators through the era.
Cappiello’s posters featured memorable, and oftentimes whimsical, characters. He painted the subjects in bold hues and set them against a solid backdrop; the result made the figures pop from the page. Many times he did not include the item that was being advertised: an uncommonality back then, and still today.
In many cases, Cappiello’s characters went on to define a brand; such is the case for Maurin Quina, a French aperitif. Many of his images are still in use by his clients today.
Date printed: 1921; country of origin: Italy.
To promote Bitter Campari, an alcoholic bitter, Cappiello used the theater character Pierrot. The lonesome clown dons a red jumpsuit and is entwined with a larger-than-life orange peel. With its humor and alluring colors, the poster was so well received that it was used by Campari for over fifty years.
In the span of his career, Cappiello created over 2,000 posters, while also painting favorites of his own, such as portraits. Cappiello was a master of understanding the changing world and catering to it, which can attribute to his many years of success.
Since their debut, the metal sculptures curated by Swahili African Modern have taken social media by storm. Their artistry is evident even in a photograph and people have taken notice. We’re enthusiastic for the success of these items, as awareness for the product also promotes the wellbeing of the small artisan.
These art pieces are handcrafted by master artisans outside Nairobi, Africa on Ngong Road. The Kabiria Metal Works’ crew is comprised of experienced metal welders who work under a fair trade cooperative. Using recycled metal scraps from oil drums and engine parts, they build each sculpture one at a time and from the bottom up. Each piece exhibits its own unique characteristics that are reflective of the artist who made it.
The attention to craft ensures a well made piece that will enthuse season after season.
For both indoors and out, the design possibilities for these art sculptures is a bountiful list. We find them just as fitting in a commercial space as they are in a residential one. Available in a range of sizes and styles, the collection offers something for every space.
Keep in mind, if you display them outdoors, a natural patina will develop over time. To prevent such, we recommend treating the metal beforehand and bringing the sculpture inside during harsh months.
Unique to the collection, our best selling metal ostrich planters also function as a gardening display. Designed with a gated basket, you can create the bird’s plume using flowers and greenery. Standing 5’ and 7’ tall, this garden sculpture is an eye-catching accessory that is suited for the whimsical home.
The rugged appeal of these recycled metal sculptures contrasts beautifully against a lush backdrop. Indoors, they are right at home in an industrial space and appeal to a monochromatic setting. The larger pieces act as a centerpiece for the room while the smaller designs suit a more subtle display.
Made under fair trade practices and with recycled materials, these metal sculptures are ethical works of art. Not only are we enamoured by their eye-catching display, but are inspired for what they represent, too.
Incorporate the grandoise stories of Greek history in your home with decorative greek statues. Modeled after classic art and Grecian tradition, these table sculptures feature characters of art, literature, and mythology.
Made from ceramic, these busts are a substantial decor piece that evoke passion and tradition. They stand upon a sturdy base, graced with text from a time honored philosopher such as Aristotle, Epictetus, and Socrates.
SOPHIA’s concept is built upon the Grecian history of intellect, beauty, and strength. Through their motto, “Enjoy Thinking,” SOPHIA aims to introduce authentic Greek design to the market with a focus on ethical trade and a collaborative process. Designed and manufactured exclusively in Greece and Europe, the fundamentals of the brand are rooted in a cultural alliance and sustainability.
“[SOPHIA design] is inspired by all those things that have remained constant, beautiful, authentic, and true.”
A part of the Eternity Today collection, these Greek busts are created by designer Alexandra, who transforms classical heritage into modern style.
Bold hues of blue, red, and gold add an unexpected twist to these traditional pieces. These pieces are clean and contemporary, suited for both the traditional and transitional home.
Inspired by art, these decorative Greek statues are works of art themselves. Display them prominently in the home to introduce rich tradition in modern style.
For centuries, an atlas has been a source of great wonder. Even today, as the world grows smaller, the reminder of the vast and varying world around us piques a unique sense of interest.
No longer just for the explorers, a globe is a classic decor piece that adds worldly appeal to the home; it is an accessory that holds both familiarity and curiosity. Decorating with a globe is a traditional choice, although it is not an accessory that is exclusive to the traditional home.
We adore the source of inspiration that a globe provides and curated a number of unique styles for you to incorporate into your home. This collection of decorative globes will suit the contemporary, modern, and traditionally styled space. From geometric frames to Victorian detail, each has a distinct character that will stand out in any setting, no matter the style.
Ideal for a desk or bookshelf, display this accessory wherever you need a bit of travel inspiration. We prefer ours at the bedside table, a reminder each morning to take our next great adventure.
A new set of sheets is a simple luxury. Replacing them may be easy, but it makes such a noticeable difference. After buying new sheets we’re quick to put them on the bed and jump in. And we know we’re not alone!

Art plays a large part in setting the tone for a room. Many homeowners choose wall art as a statement piece because it expresses their personality in ways other decorative pieces cannot. Choosing a piece of art that speaks to you makes your home feel personal and creative.
The Elizabeth Lucas Company has a unique design eye that is perfect for those who are searching for wall art that is subtle yet out of the box. The company uses recycled and natural materials to create their limited-edition prints. Recycled metal, cardboard, and barn wood make up the materials for this inspiring collection of wall art.
Part of the intrigue of original art is that no other homeowner will have the same piece as you. While this sounds ideal, not all of us have the time or funds to become art collectors. What we enjoy most about this collection of art are the handmade features that make each piece unique. Since they are made from recycled materials, each print has individual features that are exclusive to you.
We can picture the multi-layer prints and prints on wood in the farmhouse-inspired home. Inspired by nature, the graphics incorporate birds, plants, fruits, and flowers. These recycled materials have a soft and worn feel, which is ideal for the vintage style of farmhouse decor.
The collection of recycled metal wall art has a more of an industrial appeal. Printed on sheets of reclaimed metal, these pieces have a tougher appearance, though the cheerful prints and barn wood frame provide a good balance.
These prints make a statement both individually and in pairs. Designing a wall with two or three prints of the same material creates a complete and cohesive look.
Recycled home decor tells a story of past lives. Although transformed into something new, the material shows its history through marks, scratches, and dents. The Elizabeth Lucas Company sees beauty in recycled material. Not only an environmentally-sound choice, this recycled wall art is undeniably unique due to its irreplicable material.
Wood has long been a favorable material in design, for its timeless appearance is backed by strength and lightweight durability. However, it has come to attention that the standard practice of wood harvesting is causing rapid destruction to our forests and their ecosystem.
Because wood offers such a classic feel to the home, it is difficult to picture interior design without. Fortunately, earth friendly alternatives have become more prevalent in recent years, making eco-friendly woods more mainstream and therefore more obtainable. Here we’ve mapped out four top eco-friendly woods to consider for your next interior project.
Reclaimed wood has become increasingly popular over the years for its rustic aesthetic. Wood from old buildings, structures, and landfills offer incredible width and a compelling history that mass manufactured wood cannot provide.
In regards to the environment, using recycled materials is unquestionably beneficial. Using reclaimed wood reduces the rate of deforestation, the waste of processing and manufacturing, and emission of pollution during transport.
In a design aspect, reclaimed wood offers unique character to your interior. Distinguishing grooves, knots, and color variation tell a story of a past life, giving your room an inimitable flair.
Mango wood is a relatively new material to eco-friendly interiors. Mango trees are fast growing, but are difficult to harvest as the height reaches near 100 ft. Due to this, the mango tree is cut down once the lifespan of the fruit is over. Approximately 30 million metric tons of mangoes are harvested each year, yielding a large amount of trees in the wake.
Mango wood is an prime example of industrial by-product reuse. Make sure to look for a ‘certified sustainable’ seal when you are looking to purchase this or any other eco friendly wood.
Technically not a wood but a grass, bamboo has often been cited as one of the most eco friendly materials due to its rapid rate of regrowth and carbon neutrality. Bamboo wood is durable and has an appealing grain ideal for flooring or furniture.
Sustainable wood is that which comes from a moderated forest. In usual cases, forests are clearcut, creating a barren stretch of land. In its place, a single species tree farm is re-planted for future harvest. This practice has rapidly diminished millions of natural acres of forests, endangering species of tree and animal life.
Sustainable forests are managed to prevent deforestation. Only selected trees are removed and a variety of tree species are left to flourish as nature intended. Foresters wait approximately 30 years before returning to harvest, compared to the seven - ten year wait time for non-sustainable lumber.
This eco-friendly wood is helping to slow the rapid rate of deforestation. Look for products that have approved labels by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Rainforest Alliance, or Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) to make sure your purchase is certified sustainable.
With innumerable options for easily accessible, cheap furniture, the industry is transforming into that of fast fashion: something to buy for a season and then toss away. Consider furniture as an investment, if only for the environment! Buying long-standing, timeless pieces will reduce the amount of product in landfills and limit manufacturing waste. Your wallet will thank you, too, as smaller purchases add up quickly.
If new furniture is not in the budget, go vintage! Make a day to visit all your local thrift shops and hunt for a gem.
Buying for local manufacturers reduces the byproduct of transportation, which can be directly related to climatic change. You’ll be supporting the local economy too, which stimulates economic growth in your area.
Following traditional Japanese technique, Gold Leaf Design Group’s collection of handmade decorative paper is a modern celebration of art and history.
Paper making is an age-old tradition brought to Japan nearly 1,300 years ago. As technology has edged this process out from the mainstream, it is now considered more of an art more than a means of manufacturing.
This elaborate form of production creates a close relationship between paper and maker. From this arises a distinctive character that can only be found in handmade products.
Traditional handmade Japanese paper makes use of native raw plants and grasses: kozo, mitsumata, and gampi being three of note. For this Chicago-based company, natural material comes in a different form: recycled cardboard, newspaper, and sawdust are what is found in abundance.
At the time, usage of local materials was an only option; we are now finding the benefits of returning to this practice. Using regional materials simplifies the assemblage of supplies and eliminates the need for manufacturing and shipping new materials. This saves on the resources- such as gas and water- that it would take to do so.
As an eco friendly design company, Gold Leaf has found innovative ways to incorporate coveted design looks with earth friendly materials. This recycled decor is exemplary of their practice.
To give raw material a soft appearance, the recycled components are steamed, separated, pounded, and stretched. Most often a liquid solution is added to thicken the mix and give the paper a paste-like quality.
The solution is then piled on a mesh screen in thin layers. Traditionally, this was accomplished using Nagashisuki method with a bamboo screen and wood frame. For decorative purposes, Gold Leaf’s handcrafted paper is layered in organic, geometric-inspired patterns.
The solution of these recycled materials result in a product of cool, earthy tones. Joined with smaller, strand-like materials such as grasses, pineapple fibers, and banana fibers, this handcrafted paper has a textured appeal and shows character from all its components.
Whether displayed as a single sheet or layered for a full wall display, this handmade decorative paper will compliment other neutrals in a subtle and artful nature. Available for purchase in sheets or in display boxes, this wall art puts a modern spin on age-old technique.
There is no doubting the enchantment of spending a warm summer’s night on the patio with friends. Our outdoor decor becomes as well loved as the one indoors and in result, it’s easy to feel stuck in a rut after years of the same outdoor setting.
However, (just as with interior decor) there are many ways to make your patio space feel brand new. Our suggestion? Outdoor throw pillows: a simple solution for changing up your outdoor setting with minimal cost and minimal hassle.
Our newest addition to our growing selection of outdoor decor will have you seeing your well loved outdoor furniture in a new light. Focused on vivid colors and bold patterns, our selection of outdoor throw pillows exude a bright and playful nature that is exemplary of summer.
For our first go around, we’ve chosen styles ranging across all design platforms. Beach and tropical themes will fit in with the nautical inspired oasis while subdued patterns will elevate the classically styled.
Throw pillows are a versatile accessory and can be completely transformed when styled a certain way. Allow a bold print to stand out against solid colors and then follow trend and mix patterns for a fun, contemporary feel. Easy to switch around, these outdoor accessories can be styled and re-styled for years of unique settings.
Patio furniture can be an investment and while we’d love to redesign our backyard setting each season, it’s not exactly realistic. Outdoor throw pillows keep things fresh and up to trend. Small but significant, these outdoor accessories offer comfort and style and allow you to make the most of your outdoor furniture.
Once reserved for, well, a bar, it seems as though the bar cart decor trend is popping up everywhere. And we can see why: it’s a bar, on wheels! There’s something that feels very decadent when your best liquor is put on display.
{Via}
Bar cart decor isn’t as easy as just stacking a bar’s worth of liquor bottles, however. Similar to dressing a bookshelf, decorating a bar cart requires balance: a bit of accessory to break up the booze. Plus, if you’re not a big drinker, this trend still welcomes you fondly. Bar carts make for unique side tables for glassware, decorative accessories, and plants.
There’s a seemingly limitless amount of inspiration when it comes to bar cart decor. While a day’s worth of Pinterest content is always helpful, sometimes it’s difficult to know where to start! We’ve found some of our favorite ways to build a unique display and have mapped them out for you. Just add your drink of choice!
Perfect for the bottle that just doesn’t quite fit the aesthetic, decanters are an elegant way to display spirits.

On the Aran island of Inis Meáin, a small populous of islanders have perfected a traditional craft to keep their heritage alive and their community well. Dedicated to keeping their independence in a remote area off the Galway Bay, the locals developed a skill for knitting that provided warmth in an unfavorable climate.
In recent years, the Aran Sweater has gained worldwide attention for its unparalleled quality and detailed pattern. Under the same name as the island, the Inis Meáin Knitting Company works with the islanders to reinterpret their traditional knits for a modern and upscale fit. These men’s Irish sweaters are considered some of the finest hand knit sweaters in the world and can only be found from those who work with directly with the locals.
It is for this reason, and due to the high quality of garments, that we consider these Aran Sweaters to be works of art. Knits at this caliber and few and far between, and the style of this knit is exclusive to this part of the world. The are knitted in decadent yarns- wool, cashmere, baby alpaca, linen, and silk- and sourced from the finest mills in Europe and South America.
Our collection of Aran Sweaters are strongly inspired by the workwear garments of the island’s fisherman, whose sweaters needed strength, warmth, and movability. Due to the high tides and unpredictable sea, the fishermen carry their craft, known as a currach, up to the shore after each voyage. Each sweater bares the symbol of the currach as an homage to the work that inspired these knits.
We encourage you to discover a traditional craft that hails only from a remote region of the world. Not only made from the finest material, these Aran Sweaters tell a story of a lifelong tradition.
Made in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon by indigenous Yanesha artisans, these fair trade decorative wooden bowls are an exceptional display of the skill and heart behind traditional craft.
Each bowl begins as a piece of locally harvested wood and is meticulously carved, shaped, and finished with hundreds of individual strokes. The time and detail put into each bowl translates into a piece of effortless elegance; the natural appeal of the handcarved wood is captivating enough to need no other embellishment.
The beauty of the hand-worked carving is evident in the variation of the wood grain. Contrasts in the color and texture of the wood give these bowls a natural appeal. Running your hands over the material, you can feel the slight waves rippling across the smooth material that are reminiscent of the hundreds of individual strokes it took to form the shape of the bowl.

Our tequila shot glass set keeps the party going through fall. The perfect way to share shots with friends, this set is a shot glass and platter in one. Great for carrying from the kitchen or setting up at the bar, its sophisticated design is ideal for the sparkling hostess or refined wild child. And, of course, if tequila is not your drink of choice, any other spirit will be more than welcome!
This tequila shot glass set works for more than just Friday night fun, too. The size is ideal for serving appetizers at holidays, weddings, or intimate get-togethers. Serve a drink and food pairing together on our individual sets. Soups and breads, mini burgers and beer, and chips and dip will surprise guests in this unconventional tray. We made a Pinterest board to get you started: mini tacos and margaritas, anyone?
For dessert, make the perfect sized confection for each guest in these shooters or serve a rich spirit to pair with the sweet (we’re thinking dark truffle cake and whiskey).
Souvenir shot glasses have their place, but it’s not necessarily on display in the kitchen. With a classic metal structure and sparkling glass accents, this tequila shot glass set creates a statement on a bar or kitchen counter. No need to hide away on the weekdays, this set is a cosmopolitan display that reminds you that the weekend isn’t far away!
We had no issue picking up this product at the end of the summer season, for its classic design and countless uses are sure to be a hit year round. Here in Michigan, it’s about to get chilly and, while a blanket and hot cocoa are much enjoyed, sometimes our favorite spirit is just what we need to add some warmth to our cheeks.
Taking a passion for jewelry design and a desire to give back, Chavez for Charity bracelets represent one company’s dedication to using their talents to help others.
Donating 25% of each bracelet sale to a respective charity, Chavez for Charity has raised over $500,000 for ten worldwide charities. By designing bracelets in ten different colors that each correspond with a charity, Chavez for Charity is impacting not one, but ten serious issues the world is facing.
Upon its foundation, Chavez for Charity knew that they would not be able to pick one cause to support. Instead, they provide patrons with the opportunity to learn about ten worthwhile charities in the hopes that they will be inspired to become involved with those that speak to them. Not only are they raising money to go towards the goodwill of the world, they are also sparking a worldwide conversation about these issues that leads to further involvement.
While the brand’s focus is on supporting their chosen charities, Chavez for Charity bracelets are also developed with high fashion jewelry design in mind. Julie Chavez, founder and designer, has found worldwide success in high-end jewelry design, which provided her with the opportunity to pursue her lifetime goal of using her talents to help others.
The design of Chavez for Charity bracelets is based in simplicity, allowing your creativity in mixing and matching to be the main focus. Each bracelet has its own personality: different beads, charms, and compositions make for a dynamic and colorful collection. Styles within each color collection range from bright to serene and bold to sophisticated. Mix colors and styles to create a collection that is unique to your style.
Following their motto, “Look Good, Do Good,” Chavez for Charity has created their brand around designing jewelry with a cause. Not only is their jewelry focused on quality design, but it’s created upon a charitable foundation that continues to look forward to what more can be done.

As something that has been lacking in our repertoire, we wanted to make sure the first throw blankets added to Trovati upheld a luxurious standard that all others were to follow.
Our new range of woven blankets did not need to be expansive, for the handful of styles we selected cover all the necessities we look for in a throw. This collection is classic; it is everything that a throw blanket should be and nothing more.
Leaning toward simplicity, the subtle colors and patterns of these woven blankets fit a wide range of interior design styles and can be taken from room to room without hesitation.
Using either solid prints or plaid, the design is meant to enhance the look of the room, not overpower it. The color schemes are limited to one or two tones that blend well with one another and have a contemporary feel. To finish, fringed ends add a hint of movement that is quintessential to the classic throw.
These large throw blankets are made in the USA and are backed by thirty years experience. The quality of the woven blankets has always been a top priority. Bedford Cottage/Kennebunk Home remains loyal to the styles that have become a favorite since their beginnings, while upgrading details to fit modern design.
The Dann Foley collection, designed for Bedford Cottage/Kennebunk Home, takes a more simple approach to their luxury throws. Following the same standard of quality, this collection uses materials such as silk, bamboo, and alpaca to create a lavish home experience.
The prints are contemporary, yet subtle, fitting for any modern space. Contrasting to the thick texture of the woven blankets, these luxury throws are sleek and sophisticated, yet remain as cozy as their classic counterparts.
Whether you are looking for a high-style, contemporary throw or for a cozy, classic one, Bedford Cottage/Kennebunk Home offers exactly what your space needs: a soft, elegant addition that enhances your space and keeps you warm. And, as the summer nights start to cool, we'll be happy to welcome back our home accessories that look good and keep fall away for just a while longer.
Embracing the natural beauty of raw material, Regina by Regina Andrew Jewelry uses semi-precious stones such as citrine, amethyst, and turquoise to create enticing designs.
This line of necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings is unlike any accessory line we’ve introduced to our curated selection of jewelry. As a modern line with an earthy appeal, this natural stone jewelry strays from the traditional without losing the timeless value of quality design.
Reflecting the natural tone of the hand selected material, this natural stone jewelry follows a serene theme. Subtle and earthy color choices make up the palatte, showing elegance in simplicity. While trendy, the style at its core is focused on effortless beauty just like the stones it features.
Texture is a main focus in the structure of this collection, which embraces the rough, unexpected nature of raw stone as added personality to the piece. For this reason, too, each piece varies slightly, offering each owner their own variation of the same design.
Symmetry in design and precise use of stones creates a cohesive piece that allows the beauty of the material to stand out in its own.
This collection of natural stone jewelry exudes a state of dreaminess, where elegance and enchantment coincide.
As a brand new jewelry line, Trovati is one of the first retailers to introduce Regina by Regina Andrew Jewelry to the public. We were enamoured during our first look at the line and know you will be too.

The artistry of Sancesario Bijoux’s Italian fine jewelry is evident upon first look, but its beauty grows more and more mesmerizing upon each wear. Taking inspiration from ancient Roman traditions, this jewelry takes old world elegance and updates it to a modern design.
The delicate craftsmanship and timeless design are found in the small details; the handcrafted metal, old world inspiration, and meticulous choice of crystals come together to create a dynamic piece of art. Close attention to every aspect of design makes this jewelry interesting in its intricacy.
The influence of ancient Roman traditions and artisanship is evident in many aspects of this Italian fine jewelry. Elaborate shapes give a nod to baroque architecture and generous amounts of crystals hints at old world glamour. Each piece can be as easily pictured on historic royalty as it can be on red carpet royalty.
This Italian fine jewelry fairs the timeless elegance of classic design. Intricate detailing and classic shapes take form in this collection of necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and brooches.
Rather than using molds, Sancesario Bijoux forms every piece of their jewelry by hand. This gives the artist the opportunity to create each piece in unique form. This also means that the artist only produces a few of each piece before beginning on another. The singular creation is time consuming, but rewarding, allowing the artist free reign on creativity.
Swarovski crystals and glass cabochons are hand picked for excellence in color and quality. Their selection of color is vibrant, but elegant.
Although elaborate, this jewelry can be worn in many ways for a variety of occasions. Pair the shimmering crystals with a classic jeans and tee or add the shimmering finish to a wedding ensemble. While extravagant, this collection of artistry is meant to be seen.
Aside from the artist in Rome, Trovati is the only retailer in the world to have the opportunity to sell this magnificent jewelry.
