I’m sure you’ve had a similar conversation over beers. . . you know the one, where friends and new pals sit around and try to guess what instrument the other played in school. Between band and orchestra, if you played one, chances are you were a dork or geek in some form or fashion.  Right on, I say! And I, for many serious reasons only a 10 year old can think of, chose to play the cello. Needless to say, I still think any string instrument is not only beautiful to hear, but more than easy on the eyes. I suppose we’ll always be orchestra nerds and band geeks at heart!

But geek or not, these framed vintage violin forms from Jayson Home & Garden would make anyone stop and stare. The design is not too over the top or in your face. . . instead it’s a simple, quiet nod to the beauty these instruments exude, and what’s not to like about that? They’re full of history and well, they’re just plain pretty, let’s face it. I’d love to see more forms framed too. . . could you imagine a big ole’ bass form hanging on your wall? Now that would be totally cool. Bum bum bum. . . buuuuuummmm.

The floating feather holiday ornaments by Jayson Home & Garden definitely caught my eye. Their airy, gentle style is so pretty not only hanging from a Christmas tree, but I’m imagining these feathery gems in my home all year round. But you better act fast, these elegant ornaments are selling out fast!

I liked the idea so much, I tried re-creating it with my own lil’ twist. I used a bit of Bollywood flare with a gold, red and deep purple ribbon, and a purple feather with a teeny tiny sprinkle of gold glitter inside. And I have to say, I think they turned out just as pretty as Jayson’s, but with a tad more spice. Jai ho!
