Ikea is one of my go-to shops for plant pots. I have Ikea’s classic white pots in a variety of sizes, and I use them for everything from holding my plants to my pens to my bath salts. They’re so inexpensive that it’s hard to stop buying them!

What do you use plant pots for? Anything besides plants?Â
What type do you prefer: all capital letters like the first few blog headers, or hand-written script style letters like the latter couple of blog headers?

p.s. Paris recap is coming…I just need a bit of time to get organized!
My jaw dropped as I browsed the Lalique website. Of course I was already familiar with Lalique glassware, but I had no idea the diversity of the collection, and how high the prices went. They go really high. As in, the price of a house high. Crazy! Lalique is one for movie stars and gazillionaires. Yes, them. Although I don’t have money to for a shopping spree at Lalique, I can certainly appreciate the artistry of the company’s collections.
On the low(er) end of Lalique:
2 flowers perfume bottle, $395
daisies pintray, $250
Kazak paperweight, $165
grapes panel, $210
100 Points decanter, $990
On the (really) high end of Lalique:
spiral bowl, $5.9K
reverie bookends, $5.8K
Equus vase, $26K
Bucéphale horse, $48.7K 
Horse’s head, $48K
Raisins bedcover, $15K
Masque de Femme sofa, $44K
Champs Elysée chandelier, $57K
Oak roundtable, $149.5K
cactus double table, $240K
How do Lalique owners feel if anything dropped/chipped/broke? I’d cry. Surely insurance coverage on Lalique items is a must!
Hédiard is one of those beautifully divine specialty food shops in Paris that is always worth a visit. The Hédiard blend tea is one of my all-time faves and I’m so looking forward to picking some up on this trip. I love the wall of red tins in the shop and I have always received great service. Eeek – I can’t wait!
Keeping up with the French theme, today I’m featuring some absolutely impressive items from Christofle. Why are beautiful French objets so darn pricey? Luxury doesn’t come cheap, right?
