a hansome classic

going towards the light. 

i was so excited when i saw this traditional long-arm reading lamp. i have been looking for a lamp like this for so long and the quality and finish of this one is so great. the color is a 50/50 combination of copper and brass and has adjustable arms. the lamp is heavy and looks like a vintage classic but its brand new.

if he doesn't go to your home or office, he'll have a welcome spot at mine :)

idea: so classic on a bedside table.

yours for: $25 SOLD
specs: 8" base and approx 28" tall in this photo

springs sprigs

pretty little pitcher .

it has a unique, rough and sandy texture on the outside but the colors and the pattern are so wonderfully soft and feminine.

idea: if not for spring flowers, why not use it to hold your makeup brushes?


yours for: $10
specs: 8" x 6" at its tallest and widest points including handle and spout

baskets

decorative and functional.

i fell in love with these baskets. they are the perfect low-profile, organic touch that every space needs to feel balanced.

idea:  piles of papers always look better when kept in a stylish basket.

yours for: $8 (pair)

specs:
large basket measures 14.5" diameter x 5.5" tall
medium basket measures 13" diameter x 5" tall

barefoot skinny is born

after years of contemplating how to share my fab finds with friends, ive decided to start a blog. my plan is to chronicle my shopping adventures,  occasionally selling items here, in my virtual emporium— in an effort to connect my best finds to the perfect home.

hope you find something you like! if nothing strikes you, let me know what you're interested in and i'll keep my eye out for you.
