Wishful Wednesday: Verre Tealight Holders

Verre Tealight Holders by Roost via Red Sail

I stumbled upon these beautiful tea holders the other day and fell in love. Turquoise is one of my favorite colors and I love the contrast of different patterns and shapes. I can just imagine how wonderful they would look great lined up on a mantle or table, or scattered across a bookshelf. 

I've spent a lot of time wandering around the site and am impressed with lots of items that I think of as the warm-modern. There are lots of vibrant colors and simple lines. Another thing that struck me about the site is that the products aren't just fun and pretty, they're also functional things you can use in your home. They're going to live and grow with your home, as opposed to just being around.

Wishful Wednesday: Merona Sweater

I was shopping at my favorite store, Target, the other day when I discovered this sweater. At first, I didn't know if I really liked it. Maybe you can or can't tell on your browser, but this sucker is ORANGE. However, the clean white embellishments (they aren't really beads) drew me in and I tried it on.

Despite having ample room to move around in, the embellishments seemed to pull the whole thing down while my bust pulled it sideways...ah, well. It's not as though I don't already have 10 cardigans. So for this Wishful Wednesday, I not only want this sweater, but in a version that doesn't pull.

Wishful Wednesday: Poppy Chair

While helping my mom search for a new couch, we stumbled across this oh-so-cute chair at Macy's. The pattern is so bright and cheerful and I love the dark pink-reddish color of the flowers. It's much comfier than it looks and looking at it even now gives me the urge to grab a book and curl up for the afternoon. Alas, it costs as much as the couch my mom would like to purchase.
