Not Your Mother's Silhouettes



I love framed silhouettes!  They are timeless and capture such a wonderful moment when children are at their most precious.  I have always seen the traditional black and white in an oval or rectangular frame.  While those are great, I recently discovered something that is much more my style - brightly colored and whimsical!

Sybille Campbell, a New Canaan resident, has transformed black and white silhouettes into pop art pieces that would brighten up any space.  Sybille calls her version "Syb'lhouettes" and her Warhol twist breathes new life into this classic piece of art.  Also, Sybille doesn't just do kids, she does pets and favorite items such as the chandelier below.  These are great mementos to keep or to give to grandparents as holiday gifts.

Stella & Dot Trunk Show

The Summer House is hosting a Stella & Dot trunk show tomorrow, November 10th, from 7PM to 9PM.  I love Stella & Dot jewelry for myself and to give as gifts.  I have been checking out the Stella & Dot website to get an idea of what I am getting for myself and those hard to shop for friends.  These are just a sample of the awesome pieces they have!

After the Rain Bracelet.  I love the chains covering the over-sized gems.

Charlize Earrings because I will need some cheerful colors to get me through winter!

I have a minor obsession with birds, particularly in my jewelry or on my walls.

Like a moth to flame I am drawn to bib necklaces.  I am definitely a more is more girl when it comes to jewels.

Don't you love the idea of cupid being nearby?

Plume Brooch.  Wear this alone, pin it to a hat, or add to a silver chain.

The Vintage Cluster ring.  Cocktail rings are a fun way to jazz up an outfit.

Hope to see you all there at The Summer House tomorrow!
