Objects of Desire

A great little shop, Objects of Desire, in Nob Hill is closing it's doors. My mother-in-law and I have been visiting them often as they continue to discount their inventory. Yesterday, I scored this adorable Christmas sign for only $15 (75% off.) I am sad to put it away until next year, but will be surprised when I pull out the Christmas tubs next fall, I am sure!

I fell in love with these lighted branches before Christmas, and they ended up under the tree for me. What a lovely surprise! I picked the vase up at Hob Lob this week. I like that the electrical cord for the lights can poke out of the bottom of the woven vase. I don't think they look too Christmasy, so I am leaving them out for all seasons. It is always nice to have something new after the holidays to brighten up your decor. Everything always looks so blah after all the red and green is put away. What have you purchased in this new year to brighten up your home?
