Unique Finds jul 2012
Ragtime From Massoud
Massoud Creative Director Ronna Griest chose Ragtime Leather, a hand-distressed leather from the garment world, for its authentically aged look and supple feel. Inspired by handbag leathers, this material ages extremely well, becoming even softer over time. Forming a patchwork cushion, recycled denim jeans add a richly textured, decidedly American touch of blue. The leather gimp is lined with nailheads emblazed with the Texas star. massoudfurniture.com

French Dot Flutes
Without a fabulously fizzy mimosa, a beautiful brunch just wouldn’t be, well… brunch! Serve Champagne, cocktails, or even fresh squeezed juice in style with these deliciously dotted etched 7″ tall glass flutes. Each stemmed flute holds 6 ounces and the set of six, or set of twelve, comes gift wrapped in a hand crafted wood crate with ribbon. oliveandcocoa.com
