ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful concept. I will definitely check that website again when it's time for holiday shopping. I love the Mirror 'Winter Sun.' I would put it on my (currently bare) bedroom wall. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, the Mercury sculpture! I'm teaching comparative mythology and I might just have to have it- win or not!
ReplyDeleteI would buy http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=139450
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
I love the owl wisdom book ends

ReplyDeleteI love the Celadon ceramic pitcher, 'Carved Jewel! So classic and beautiful!

Thanks for introducing me to Novica. I love that it's a collaboration between National Geographic. There are so many beautiful things on their site but I especially love the leather & wood coffee tables. I have the perfect place to put one in my home!!
ReplyDeleteOh my! So many pretty items and I love that they're all handmade and fair-trade. I really like the Chrysocolla cocktail ring in 'Rectangular Sea'. Lovely! Thank you :)

I would get one of the beautiful mirrors - I need one for a space I have an idea for in my home and there are so many beautiful options!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,

Thank you for the introduction to this wonderful place to find gifts. The cedar and leather top table would be the choice for me. I would give it to my husband to place by his leather lounger chair. I would enjoy it too daily. The table would become a family heirloom.
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely obsessed with this Foundations mission. Novica’s concept is such a fantastic idea and will change the lives of all, both artistic creators and lucky consumers alike! I’m a self proclaimed art junkie, (…and yes, jewelry and clothing also constitute as art in my book) so your posting on the many worldly treasures available on Novica was an exciting moment for me. It’s amazing the various talents people possess! Frankly, I would love it all… Sadly, I’m not a millionaire, nor will my boyfriend be pleased with our house being the gallery for every single item I fell in love with; but if I had to choose the following would be my must have picks…
ReplyDeleteGold tourmaline cocktail ring, 'Brazilian Sunset'
Turquoise cocktail ring, 'Always Azure'
Malachite 3 stone ring, 'Princess Trio'
Sculpture, 'Mercury'
Wood sculpture, 'Thinking of You'
Wood sculpture, 'Abstract Rest'
Wood sculpture, 'Abstract Gymnast'
Stained glass table, 'Glass Spectacle'
P.S. Thank you for your inspirational quotes each week; they act as my emotional “food for thought”.
I love the kashmiri rugs! Like the morning joy one.
ReplyDeleteI love the baskets. e.g. Maya sun.
I love the Wood centerpiece, 'Village'
I love the Ceramic teapot, 'Buddha and the Sapphire Elephant'
I love the Ceramic wall adornment, 'Hummingbird Eclipse'
I love traveling, so I would love decorating my home with so many of these things. I am a National Geographic fan but didn't know about this store. It is great!
i would probably get one of their ponchos or sweaters! they all look so comfy and warm, which is perfect for winter in the midwest for me!

Mirror Mirror on the wall...I'd use this gift to purchase one of the GORGEOUS 'Autumn Butterfly' Mirrors for my new apartment! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I would love to have 'Virgin Mary with the Boy'. It is a beautiful piece of art, and I collect religious iconography! Thank you for the opportunity!

I would love to get this bracelet from Thailand!! http://jewelry.novica.com/bracelets/pearl/under-$50/leather-and-amazonite-wrap-bracelet-new-tribal/178299/
ReplyDeleteI love lots of the jewelry, but also the various sun wall sculptures, which would be perfect for decorating during the winter solstice.
ReplyDeleteThose hand-made champagne flutes are calling me!!! Although I may buy my sister and I each a handbag....
ReplyDeleteI'm dying over the "Floating" ring by Adrian Miranda, and the "Taxco Groove" earrings by Oscar Escorcia. Gorgeous!

The wall tapestries, particularly by Meena, are unbelievable. I have one and covet another. They are truly works of art that are delicate, intricate, and dazzling. No one comes into my home and leaves without commenting on mine.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the glassware is fantastic.
I would love to put the gift certificate towards a sunbeams or starburst mirror, but there are so many tempting choices!
ReplyDeleteI would love to put the "sun" and "star" themed mirrors on my bare and boring walls and to accent them with the beautiful tables and home decor that are on the website!

Thank you for introducing me to this website, I have found so many things I love. I think I would get the Sodalite cocktail ring in 'Lagoon'.

Oh my goodness it is so hard to choose. I love the Loopy Bullhorn Cuff in your post. But I cant decide between that or one of these:
ReplyDelete- Mohena mirror, 'Sunbeams'
- Chain stitched Kashmiri rug, 'Morning Joy'
- Cotton throw, 'Geometrical Legacy'
- Sandstone wall panel, 'Tantric Buddhism Dorje'
- Threadwork, 'Who Lives Here?'
- Soapstone sculpture, 'Mother Owl'
Quite the predicament, huh?
Love your posts! Keep doing what you do! :)

I'm currently traveling around the world & with a very full backpack & limited budget I'm having to pass up on so many incredible finds for my home, so this website will be so helpful to me to have a few reminders of my travels once I'm settled back at home. Having fallen in love with Andean fabrics during my time spent in South America I would spend the voucher on the Sunset Temple cushion covers for my living room sofa to brighten up the White interior x

I would love any of the chess sets, they would be an amazing gift for my dad!
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt I LOVE the Taxco Moon Turquoise Cocktail Ring! That is EXACTLY the kind of ring I've been looking for! Stylish gold and turquoise rings are hard to come by and this one NAILS it! Amazing!
ReplyDeletewow! I love their stuff. Right up my alley. I think I would love any one of their wall hangings or tapestries. The chess sets are awesome too. I am teaching my 7 year old daughter how to play, so this would be an awesome Christmas gift! Also, the coffee tables are incredible, I might just splurge and buy one soon! :)
