I have long been smitten with these beautiful, hand-sculpted pieces by L’Objet. Each is painted by hand and finished off with 14k gold accents. The coral tea pot is on my dream wish list—spiny was never so sweet! Available at Vivre.
While styling things for the shop today I came up with this brilliant (if I do say so myself…) idea to use my spiny sputnik sea urchin as a match stick holder. I have those awesome long matches (I’m scared of fire…) and it totally worked! I think it would work with regular, small matches too. Okay, so have I lost my mind or does it look neat? I bought this little guy in a shop (he’s real!), but you can order sea urchins online here.
