crisp for spring

no. 01 is for spring showers and the rest are for spring fun and affordable - from crate + barrel:

no.01 beat that depressive spring weather season that is fast approaching with the kivet umbrella. this splashy little bright marimekko number will plow through any grey rainy day. colourful kivet-patterned umbrella collapses compact for travel with the push of a button, and cute as one too. $24.95 US at
crate + barrel.



no.02 if you're looking for something to add a shot of color to your bleak winter world this might be just the excuse you need to welcome spring a little early this year. treat yourself to a late-winter pick me up and set set a fresh table with the kelli starter kit. this graphic green-and-white dinnerware is sized for generous portions, these plates, bowls and mugs are made of porcelain with a different stripe pattern on each piece. Choose from two 16-piece sets with either a low or tall bowl $69.95 US at crate + barrel.



no.03 perhaps something that embodies spring for more than a day or two, the cast open coral
is a compelling form.... from the depths of the sea. the organic shapes and chalk-white color of natural coral are re-created in these environmentally-friendly pieces, stone-cast with the shape, heft and texture of the real thing. $44.95 US at
crate + barrel.

It's beautiful and I'm glad that its not real. Coral is fragile and takes a long time to grow.
