Tuesday's Treasure ~ Ginger Jars

It's been a while since we've gone on a TT&B treasure hunt but I have been hunting and want to bring you up to speed! 
Ginger jars.
Love them.
So many things you can do with them; they go everywhere! While I don't have any surfaces to put them at the moment (another post to come on that, I need some bookshelves!) but that doesn't mean I can't start collecting!

So, here we go. Ginger jars. 
Ginger jars have a long line of history amongst Chinese culture. According to most resources, "A Ginger Jar is shaped with a wide mouth, a domed lid and a bulging, bulbous spherical hand painted body. They come in various styles and sizes and in many different colors. The true Chinese antique Ginger Jar is made of porcelain and hand painted. The jars acquired the name “Ginger Jars” because they often contained ginger (which was one of the most valuable spices at the time) when they were exported to the West."

So my lovelies, Ginger Jar treasures to fill your home on this fine Tuesday!

Warhol on a Wednesday

Perrier's limited-edition Warhol labels are works of art in and of themselves!
Admittedly, I am already hooked to sparkling water but how can you resist a refreshing drink with such a fabulous label?
This may have just made me partial to Perrier!

Yesterday would have been the pop-artist's 85th birthday so as an ode to his milestone birthday and the famous 1983 collection of 40 works of art featuring the iconic bottle, Perrier decided it's about time they honor the legend! 

So, here's to you Andy. Bottoms up!


 The 750 mL bottles are adorned with one of four labels 
(but there are various quotes making for actually 28 variations so don't stop looking at 4!)


220 mL bottles are printed in one of four designs
(but there are various quotes making for actually 28 variations so don't stop looking at 4!)


There are four designs available on the .5 Liter bottles

Thursday's Treasure Hunt... Antlers

Whether you're a huntsmen or not, you must admit, antlers are a pretty cool thing. They each have their own unique branching design making for awesome pieces of wall art, accents on shelves and tabletops, and even the make-up of some great mirrors and chandeliers!

Be on the look out for that spot in your house in need of a set of antlers!

Farmhouse Foyer -- the antlers complete the look!
