Whimsy for Wednesday, the week & forever....Amen!!!!

By now its rather apparent that I'm a sucker for cheery, whimsy & color as much as the touches of traditional. I love to look under & beyond the norm. Sometimes its dirt cheap & believe me, I do a little happy dance when it happens. More often though its a bit out of my range or it goes on my " I won the lottery!!!!" list.

Stray Dog Designs falls somewhere in between & for that I'm grateful. Some of their designs are affordable, some a dream or the right 6 numbers out of reach, but either way. I believe we all require a bit of their whimsy.

I first encountered them years ago when they're box arrived at the boutique I was running & after the bubble wrap revealed they're hand painted metal treasures, was smitten for good. The box set had me at hello & the quality level kept me there (I had a rep for being "the picky bitch" when it came to quality control. It was an insult from a lousy company that I wear still as a badge of honor.) By the way wouldn't this be a cute cake!!

Their lamps, whether its the Sam Buffet , the Buttercup or the Stephanie floor lamp, are so fun but then can you imagine going further down the yellow brick road & adding an artichoke or a pink bird as icing on that whimsy cake. Chandeliers...saving the best for last....

Holidays are a favorite in fact these trees go well anywhere (my little Hailey still yearns for a set in her bedroom), but its their ornaments that slay me. Are these not the ultimate in whimsy & to boot I'd use them all year. They giggly whisper, hang me anywhere, glue me to a frame, the murmurs are endless.

Finally the chandeliers. How cute is this play on the traditional . Did I mention they have other color & shade styles???

I love the Wavy Gravy fixture but when you add their flower magnets it just becomes fantastic. I see it over my breakfast table, memories cascading off the edge. How could this not make you happy.

For me this it. I love this piece and know when I find the right room I'll add a few colorful birds to the mix.

Now for all you whiteaholics out there...Mimi I'm thinking directly of you....they actually have a HUGE selection of the blanc too, not to mention glass, ceramics, even furniture, all just as lovely but this is where my heart resides at Stray Dog.

Add some whimsy to the rest of your week in any way possible!!!
