Fair Trade carved wooden candle stick

Monday, May 24th, 2010
Ascension Online namaste wooden candle stick

Striking wooden candle stick

This is a candle stick that will really make an impression!

The hand crafted Fair Trade wooden candle stick is made in India from sustainable wood. Although classed as being the small size, the piece is naturally oversized (it measures 37.5cm) and is by no means a small and insignificant candle stick.

If you loved carved wooden home accessories, then this is the perfect candle stick for you!

Originally priced at £32, the carved candlestick is now £22.40 in the sale at Ascension.

Blueberry Patch handmade home accessories

Friday, September 4th, 2009

 

Decorative hanging flowers

Decorative hanging flowers

 Handmade items help make a home a home, but if you’ve not got time to make them yourself, there are plenty of lovely online shops where you can buy things ready made, like Blueberry Patch.

 All the products they sell are handmade and rustic. Some are purely decorative, others more practical, and most are reasonably priced.

These cheery colourful spotty flowers, for example, are a small and simple decorative accessory that you could hang in your home. They could be hung on cupboard doors or propped on a shelf  and, although small and simple, add a nice bit of extra colour and interest to a room.

As they’re only £2.50 each, they’re not going to break the bank either, and you get free postage and packing if you’re based in the UK.

Handmade bird art blocks

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Handmade distressed bird art blocks

Handmade distressed bird art blocks

We came across these mini bird art blocks on Etsy and thought they were very en vouge and rather unique.

Bird images as a whole are cropping up in a wide of home accessories, and these are unusual as they’re handmade and not mass produced.

The art blocks are only small, measuring 1.5″ x 1.5″, and have a slightly distressed look to them, but the design is nicely mounted onto pine and they’ve been lovingly produced.

They’d be lovely dotted around your home, perhaps on shelves or on the mantlepiece, or you could hang them together on the wall, as theyhave holes on the back.

If the birds aren’t quite your cup of tea, then you can even ask to have your own image put onto an art block – how’s that for service?!

If you’re interested in finding out more, then the distressed bird art blocks are available on Etsy from Colliebox for $12.00 a set.
