While out shopping with Melina in Soho one weekend we stopped in Rachel Ashwell’s Shabby Chic where we actually had the pleasure of meeting the gracious Rachel Ashwell herself! I love her whimsical, romantic style and could buy everything in her store (even the antique ballet shoes that aren’t for sale). Every time I’m there I load up on more of my favorite candle votives and glassware made by Barreveld International.
I use their signature small votives on my nightstand to hold earrings and misc jewelry and have a few more around my room with tiny tea candles that cast a lovely glow. I use their larger glasses to hold pens and pencils and my myriad assortment of make-up brushes. I honestly can’t have enough of these and was so happy to finally find them available online at the home furnishing site ElizabethsEmbellishments.com. And because you can’t buy anything on Rachel Ashwell’s site (Rachel, if you are listening, we ask: why not?) this is clearly an amazing find!
With a variety of different metallic colors, these precious pieces can turn any room into a beautiful boudoir. Maybe it’s just the fleur-de-lis symbol but there is something très chic about this collection, which is right up this Francophile’s alley!
