JuJu Hat...



What is that you ask? I didn't know either until last week when I posted the Sunny Side and one of the readers said she love it over the fireplace and another asked what it was. I didn't know so I looked it up and thanks to Google and Google images I found out what they were and that they are popular design accessories that add a whimsical pop of color to any home. What do you think...do you like them or not? 

Cameroonian JuJu Hats
During royal court affairs, tribal chiefs and dignitaries in the Cameroonian kingdoms wear a spectacular headdress known as the tyn, or juju hat. The feathers are symbolic of prosperity, and represent the wealth of positive qualities associated with birds. The pieces, which are woven onto a raffia base, splay out into huge circles and make impactuful wall art.

Vintage Love...

I am pretty sure I would enjoy being friends with Fiona Richards, the artist behind the blog of Cafe Cartolina and Cartolina Cards. Anyone who is 'a sucker for rust, peeling paint and an old, worn patina', is a friend of mine.

Living with Books...

After purchasing two more books for our library this past weekend, and installing libraries in two clients home in the past month, I feel I am officially a book arranging professional. Give me your books, your accessories, and five minutes; and your shelves will be refashioned! Don't you love living with books? I love how they transform rooms from basic to complete.
