Sea Urchin Lighting Love...

My husband had the day off today and since our son is now in Kindergarten, we had a whole day together to do whatever we wanted.  So, naturally, we went to look around home stores.  

In one of the lighting shops, Beacon Lighting, I spied (what I like to call) Sea Urchin lights.

A while back I did a post, titled, Kitchen Inspiration, for our future Hawaii condo and that kitchen featured "Urchin" pendants.

I like the idea of having two above a kitchen island, like the inspiration photo.  However, if not over an island, I'd love to have a couple, Ivory Urchin Light Fixtures, over our dining table... or check out the ones I featured in Global Cuisine.

Looky, they don't have to be made of wood or natural fibers...they can be bold and brass too!

So, what do you think? They get a big fat yes please, from me!

A Slight Obsession...

Not sure if I've confessed this before, but I have a small not so small obsession with Sea Urchin Spines!

Yes, I know that sounds quite odd, but I find them to be absolutely beautiful and perfectly organic...it was love at first sight...

 I really need to order some, A.S.A.P...

I think they're great for jewelry design, various craft projects (like strung on a length of hemp twine to make a garland, glued around a picture frame or hot glued around a glass cylinder to make a great vase) or even just simply having a large collection displayed in a bowl on the coffee table.  An easy and quite inexpensive way to add a unique, coastal, bohemian touch to your wardrobe or home interior!...not to mention a great conversation starter!
