she sells seashells

natural elements are used in design all the time...these pieces usually add some organic lines to your spaces (such as branches, rock crystal, etc.) here we see several examples of what the natural beauty of seashells can do your interiors. bring on the sunshine and beaches!

tobi fairley uses shells in her art collection. brilliant colors with dramatic black backdrops!

if you don't want an actual shell then this book does the trick. gorgeous images!

adore this amazing cluster of oversized shells...mary mcdonald has done it right.

oly studio has this super textual wall sconce that would be to pretty in a dining space or bedroom. it's soft lines and color are well suited for any spaces truly!!

a scouting i WANT to go!!

this is SUCH a fantastic idea from a little town called Charlottesville, Virginia!

this is issued every few months by a local shop owner to advertise fellow local businesses. here is what they are all about:

Definition SCOUT:

Lookout: a person employed to keep watch for some anticipated event

A Boy Scout or Girl Scout

Someone employed to discover and recruit talented persons

Explore, often with the goal of finding something or somebody

Someone who can find paths through unexplored territory

My goal is to promote local business and help to maintain Charlottesville as a unique and interesting place to live.

WE MUST SHOP LOCALLY if we want to keep Charlottesville unique.

I hope to open up the doors to the small artist studios and inside information around town that will inspire you to shop at home. We can make a difference.

Thanks for your help.

-Susie Matheson, your local shopping scout

stellar stella!

How could you not be happy entering this delightful store on lovers lane?!? When this store opened in '08 I had to make a trip in and what a pleasant surprise to find Miss Amber Davidson! We have know each other since high school age and it was so fun to catch up and see all her fabulous wares.

Amber's grandmother started her addition to design at a very young age as she flipped through House Beautiful and Better Homes and Garden floor plans. She remember these as magical memories and once you visited her store you will agree that she was destined for design!!

Please 'like' their facebook page and stop by to say HELLO. They are such a happy group!
