($25) is the perfect playtime companion. Her whimsical wings and embroidered accents give her an appeal that’s almost magical.

(5) These textured Woven Tumblers ($65, set of six) are wrapped in alternating strands of richly hued, recycled glass, making them a pleasure to look at and to hold. They come in a set of six vivacious colors: Glacier, Ember, Mint, Midnight, Fern, and Blackberry.

These distinctive chargers are made of sustainably harvested Acacia wood, cut against the grain to reveal the natural pattern of tree rings and to retain the rugged bark edge. Each charger measures approximately 14 inches diameter by 1 inch thick.

I have a passion for finding the “perfect” item for entertaining, for my home, or that gift for someone special. I enjoy searching through catalogs, magazines, and the Internet to find those items, and recently decided that I should share these great finds with others.
I have chosen the concept of mindful shopping because I only include those items that I feel fulfill one or more of these four specific categories: Comforting; Beautiful; Joyful; Inspirational.
Because of this mindful shopping concept, I have developed a new appreciation for shopping and money, and the wonderful emotions that can be evoked by finding that special item full of purpose and meaning. My hope is that the Mindful Shopper is able to do the same for you.
