Just wanted to share this beautiful Moroccan chandelier.
Thought this really adds life, color, and culture to any room.
I love the mosaic of glass pieces and their vibrant colors and interesting shapes.
Set into the brass holders this stunning chandelier is a standout and lights up not only the room, but also perhaps even our lives. 😉

This is a beautiful set of nested brass weights from France.
It dates back to 1852!
The weights range from 1 gram to 500 grams.
These are weights, but also a form of art.
It is located at the NIST Museum.
There is something comforting about weights, measures, and standards.
It puts an organized construct unto our universe and creates some objective scientific reality to our world.

It’s Passover this week, not Chanukah.
So what’s with the menorah?
Well my friend, John Akkus (of Akkus Silver Touch), made this beautiful piece for me.
I love the fine handiwork of copper, brass, crystals, Jewish symbols (Stars of David) and bold colors of this amazing menorah.
John sells his art at the annual Suglarloaf Festivals in the Spring.
I am so glad I found this wonderful menorah–it is beautiful all year long (through Chanukah and Passover).
Thank you John and nice job! 😉
