I just came across the
Lisa Stickley Custard Cream Tablecloth ($287 and up) and
Duck Plates Tablecloth ($287 and up) at Rose & Radish, and I'm completely smitten. Stickley has incorporated a
trompe-l'œil effect onto her printed textiles, giving the illusion that her tablecloths are topped with traditional British tea plates. The Custard Cream Tablecloth is printed with floral china patterns with painted rims, and the Duck Plates Tablecloth is based on her own grandfather's duck-themed tea service.

I don't know what it is about
butterflies lately, but they've had my heart all aflutter. The cutout butterflies on the
Mixko Delight Belle Light ($49, reduced from $83) are quite dainty and appeal to the side of me that secretly loves pink, unicorns, and party dresses. And I love how the light just seems to peek through its skirted edge.

Ages ago I wrote a Trend Alert on
Yummy Candles, which began with a Point à la Ligne Macaroon Candle Set that was tragically out of stock at Rose and Radish.
Like Sofia Coppola, I love all things macaroon: the colors, the taste, the packaging, the hard-to-come-by quality, and their fancy French origins. And, obviously it's in my nature to treasure home décor.

The folks at Rose and Radish recently took a trip to Munich to visit the Royal Bavarian Porcelain Manufactory Nymphenburg, which has been one of the world's finest producers of porcelain for 250 years. In the shop's journal, they wrote, "One of the greatest parts of the Munich trip was being able to use the porcelain during the entire visit. Our favorite snack was gummi bears on the Ted Muehling Bird's Wing Dish."

Rose and Radish put it precisely when they wrote, "Sometimes you need a lamp shade that is both understated and extremely eye-catching." The
Nicolette Brunklaus Large Delight Shade ($797) is both of those things, and oh so much more. It's also evidence of the
growing flocking trend, as well as playful, modern, and elegant.
