My latest purchase

I did a little shopping a few weeks ago that I haven't let you in on yet. I picked up this gorgeous vase at HomeGoods for $24. Not bad, huh? It reminds me of the fermenting bottles that I fell for at Terrain.

For not it lives next to my bookcase, but I have grand visions for it. I'd like it to be somewhere prominent, with a green display that you just can't ignore. I'm thinking of something along these lines:

Gorgeous, right? What's not to love about that? Graceful, but commanding. Impressive, but not gaudy. It's a delightful balance.

And while this is a little smaller than the scale I have in mind, I think the branches in this pictures are spot on. I love how they wend around and seem to get lost in themselves. Kind of like my wedding centerpieces, no?

I can't wait to play around with this once I get home from Peru.
