piece of cake

[bird cake stand, large $130]


[footed cake platter with dome, $59.95]

i don't bake cakes, buy cakes or eat cakes for the most part. but lately i've had an insatiable need to have cake stands. i own a great set of vintage glass stands that i received as a wedding gift. but i can't seem to stop bookmarking more and more of them lately. i love glass stands, ceramic, contemporary, vintage, traditional, decorated, plain, whatever the style. so i thought i'd share some great designs i've stumbled across lately. a few of them we might see at openhouse in the future. enjoy! k&m

whoops, forgot one

i unintentioanlly left out a wonderful designer by the name of john pomp. i had heard a podcast with him a while back on design*sponge and was delighted to see his work in person at the fair. i especially like the bullseye vases above. they look like a fried egg captured in the galss ;o) lovely, lovely, lovely.

i had promised a pillow roundup, but it's a crazy day and there are SO many pillows, so you'll have to settle for glass today. it's not a discipline i've ever had too much interest in, but one day at the fair and i was hooked. these super talented designers blew me away with their work. and we just loved talking with them about their processes. it's truly remarkable design.

my favorite had to be the chalkboard vases from lbk studio. they unveiled a bunch of spring colors like pink, green and blue that are so fun. i don't have an image of those, so i've just posted the black chalkboard versions.

enjoy! and stay tuned all week. we still have pillows, bedding, and miscellaneous design treats to share. k&m

holiday baubles

openhouse is so very excited to announce that we will be carrying some absolutely beautiful hand blown glass ornaments from two of Richmond's own. ryan gothrup and keith mendak are the artists behind the holiday treats and we hope to have more from them in future. we only nabbed a dozen or so, so make sure you get by the shop and grab them before they are gone. At $20 a piece they make for a beautiful gift to a friend, hostess or yourself ;o)
