Nonpareil

I recently discovered Wisconsin based Dodge Station Pottery on Eddie Ross‘ design blog. I love the oyster colored glaze on their dinnerware…and the simple bowls are wonderful. Love them. Dodge Station Pottery has been making ceramics since 1978. They are family run business, and have a fantastic website…make sure you visit their “around the shop” photos. It will make you want to move to the country {if you don’t already}. They have an Etsy shop too! Enjoy.

Stella Jade has been one of my lovely advertisers. As I post the pictures of her jewelry, I realize that 3 out of 4 photos are blue. Let me assure you, that she DOES offer more than jewelry in shades of blue! I guess it’s just my serene mood today. Owner and designer, Sara, finds some great vintage beads and flowers. I love that flower ring. So cute. Check out her shop, and enjoy!

Ooh la la! I am so excited to post about La Marquise des Anges‘ beautiful, spring-y, handmade goods. The artist is one of my lovely readers, and she comes all the way from France {it makes me a little giddy to have people reading nonpareil all over the world}! I think the apron is extra sweet…and, doesn’t it match my color scheme nicely! So, head on over to her shop, and check out her blog too…it’s one of my daily reads.

I’m not the best with home decorating. I don’t spend hours planning my rooms, I just buy what I love, and hope it works out. Let’s just say my taste is eclectic! Actually, we could totally use a new couch {and have for years now}…but when it comes to either spending money on furniture, or going on a trip somewhere…I always opt for the trip.

That being said, Rian Rae Interiors & Gifts might just have me putting my next vacay on hold {don’t tell the kids, they’ll be bummed!!}. I featured Rian Rae when I first started my blog. Here is that post. I’m giddy about all of the new things I found on her site! My whole “buying what I love” philosophy would get me into serious debt in this store…I love everything!

I love the sweet necklaces from San Francisco based Peggy Li jewelry…my VERY favorite is the angel wing {above, left}.  Her jewels have been seen on tv’s Private Practice, Grey’s Anatomy, Without a Trace, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and in both Oprah magazine and Lucky magazines, to name a few. Lots of different styles to choose from on her site. Cute!
