Large decorative balls, perfect accents in your garden, can be used as votive candle lanterns.  She also has a variety of tasteful entertaining plates, bowls, servers and charming soap dishes that fit our handmade soaps perfectly.

 New this spring is this mid-sized flower vase that sets off large blooms like these peonies and smaller mixed bouquets too!
