Unique Pendants from DK Living

We think lighting is one of those things that's really hard to shop for. You either get the generic, boring stuff at Home Depot or Lowes or you get the really high-end stuff at specialty stores.<br /><br />So we were a little excited when we saw these at DK Living. This company sells furniture and accessories that are simple but very unique. The prices are very reasonable too. They run between $200-800 for the fixtures.<br /><br />Here are some pendants that are quite lovely...<br />----------------------------------------------------<br />This one is a mesh-wire in silver. It 's only $200.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbz6JmQoQb_7wWGSvOEIjtT-7x_vny6Xt4oHq03N9N4nzzsI539_zZOZ6pKe9vKj0cIdsYSEsaDVOPsDYd6jwceY_8EKylBb9zbNFMCF09dDJTDT988GbwfnHXeun9Cl5tlaiNNKaBxjqb/s1600-h/wireshade.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400420691052191394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbz6JmQoQb_7wWGSvOEIjtT-7x_vny6Xt4oHq03N9N4nzzsI539_zZOZ6pKe9vKj0cIdsYSEsaDVOPsDYd6jwceY_8EKylBb9zbNFMCF09dDJTDT988GbwfnHXeun9Cl5tlaiNNKaBxjqb/s320/wireshade.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 162px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> We love this glass pendant.

Pretty Chinoiserie Furniture from Guild Master

Going to trade show requires tons of stamina, let us tell you. You usually walk floor after floor of showrooms, and because you don't want to miss everything, you try to stop at almost every single one of them.<br /><br />Until your eyes glaze over and everything starts to look the same...<br /><br />At any rate, we saw this line toward the end of our trip at High Point. Although we were dead tired, it caught our eyes and we thought we show it to you. It's Asian and rattan, two things that we normally don't like, but these are done very well. <br /><br />Here are some examples from the line.<br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP1TscX8icBz5LZBxHchEifRtLEgCwH0JxDzKskPdMNOZJTH70Fpz2MHEW37SJwQtbpUD2CfiA0cmn8S2WYp1sa9-jsfPQ7n-MdFx942qAMmMnUXB1o8zBRqtnFS5MXB58BEI6eHh0sqv9/s1600-h/greenchairs.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400411464800507250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP1TscX8icBz5LZBxHchEifRtLEgCwH0JxDzKskPdMNOZJTH70Fpz2MHEW37SJwQtbpUD2CfiA0cmn8S2WYp1sa9-jsfPQ7n-MdFx942qAMmMnUXB1o8zBRqtnFS5MXB58BEI6eHh0sqv9/s320/greenchairs.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrDy3ldeBEOrhCU7cjUjEDVG4ZukK6t8jZn6bQlutywYZQbMRxwcTCeJd1fmVZgZY-OLyGRwt0zImaLNAIq1fwuXWXTHkF6MdVtGAJfqWfTrdczMADVBlZfkEyHeg8rLO099DMwQsR7_-/s1600-h/barstool.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400411393607928514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrDy3ldeBEOrhCU7cjUjEDVG4ZukK6t8jZn6bQlutywYZQbMRxwcTCeJd1fmVZgZY-OLyGRwt0zImaLNAIq1fwuXWXTHkF6MdVtGAJfqWfTrdczMADVBlZfkEyHeg8rLO099DMwQsR7_-/s320/barstool.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /></p><p></p><p></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqnw1i64SDQOS_A9dOcXLO9OzuFj70fA67vSIH7SsmFekg-jum_508fDCUGOzzrKAdbhJUuJEKmIcD5YhR6zA3QOofk3axiJQDsaDF3qaSQQu5zh6ucjXnJcXKhTJUaI5PbYH5IdLCMrOb/s1600-h/armchairs.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400411316743109298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqnw1i64SDQOS_A9dOcXLO9OzuFj70fA67vSIH7SsmFekg-jum_508fDCUGOzzrKAdbhJUuJEKmIcD5YhR6zA3QOofk3axiJQDsaDF3qaSQQu5zh6ucjXnJcXKhTJUaI5PbYH5IdLCMrOb/s320/armchairs.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a></p><br /><br />The items run between $1200/per pair for chair to $1800/per pair for barstools.

Creating Your Own Destiny...

The LA Times has an article today on The Satorialist, a fashion blog. Although it has nothing to do with decorating, we thought you might want to <a href="http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">check it out</a>. The blog is about fashion, worn by real people on the street. It is full of great photographs of real people, occasionally accompanied by background stories.<br /><br />What is most interesting to us, though, is how a unique yet simple concept-when done with passion- can be so successful. The blog founder started his blog in 2005, simply by taking pictures of people on the street who put clothes together creatively. It is now one of the most 50 popular blogs in the world. If you read the blog, you'll see how unbelievably simple it is.<br /><br />We love stories like that! While everyday we hear about people being out of work, getting laid off, or mainly just surviving, here is a case that shows us that we can create our own destiny and make our path in life.<br /><br />To read more about this great story, click <a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/image/la-ig-sartorialist01-2009nov01,0,918793.story" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkh3gnU6gWZUE9NadFwvHiIRkYEyJQQ__otuaFz1S7Dbe7mbh_TylgjJhtHr5vdTEi9655uBdMEhVKAcl0OrojNjb2DAkxZVmWbJakVIqUeh1sub8Qz1IipZ6A42gUGbP8-VwyPrZFHeG/s1600-h/thesatioralist.gif"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400408532696616370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkh3gnU6gWZUE9NadFwvHiIRkYEyJQQ__otuaFz1S7Dbe7mbh_TylgjJhtHr5vdTEi9655uBdMEhVKAcl0OrojNjb2DAkxZVmWbJakVIqUeh1sub8Qz1IipZ6A42gUGbP8-VwyPrZFHeG/s320/thesatioralist.gif" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 188px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>

Tutorial Thursday: What is the difference between a pergola, a trellis & an arbor?

<div style="text-align: left;">Although the terms often are used interchangeably, trellises, arbors and pergolas are distinctly different structures. A trellis is typically a latticework built to support climbing plants or vines. It can be a simple panel attached to the side of a building, or it can be freestanding in a garden or yard.</div><div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398036595355725858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrDjgi8PkSRrQZEQaTetifCszJsvqJ2tWJeWxSgTbFXYOx2V3nMaE8jbZlj31LNfngnhThgjsRHeJ-7yGKxBF1C9llXuS2_ZDy_o4Ezz6JkmjjmA3rIqDs5NPi1NOXag7UsjZ32rzAiuIB/s320/Front+Ext.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 256px;" /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398035808776397154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8FWIvzwbDI_1WWWFPMUr-dv8_nDoYvi3cf9XwZN9i8iYcc_Gas6CuO1QWY0MhyA3RY8J6vB4HvT_uNVtkUOqz95s1sRtecxOKA4XX33sw3ZMy3jEsXSJ3TPm9EqC1FMv07hpyeteX6j4U/s320/rear+ext.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 258px;" /></div><div>An arbor usually incorporates a trellis into its structure, creating a tunnel-like passageway of climbing plants.

Lessons from a Home Stager

The New York Times Magazine has a great article about staging a home today. Eventhough the article is about staging for selling purpose, there are some great tips that you can pick up for your daily life as well...<br /><br />For example:<br /><br />1) Start with a white sofa and go from there, as you can change the look quickly by changing the pillows.<br /><br />2) Have a story, or a theme, and build from there.<br /><br />3) Do and reedo until it's right.<br /><br />4) Avoid matchy matchy.<br /><br />5) Build characters and personality by adding pieces that reflect your lifestyles.<br /><br />To read this article and watch the video, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/25/magazine/25Key-Stager-t.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&ref=magazine" target="_blank">click here</a>.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivFrsec-XytJobaQBKlZT1AsBOh1AURxR6hajsM4MzF_JWCGtdyjxSdfYK4G96xxXPZUtt3mTKdn0Ph4LALGVDHeZhjZ6nmoRgaUPMEU7D67MSxVyoGbULpEfsPwGol46Vgff_ZesEBfae/s1600-h/homestager.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396671976982755762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivFrsec-XytJobaQBKlZT1AsBOh1AURxR6hajsM4MzF_JWCGtdyjxSdfYK4G96xxXPZUtt3mTKdn0Ph4LALGVDHeZhjZ6nmoRgaUPMEU7D67MSxVyoGbULpEfsPwGol46Vgff_ZesEBfae/s320/homestager.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><br />Image source: NY Times

Gorgeous Silk Flowers from New Growth Designs

When it comes to silk flowers we like them to look as real as possible--this is why you'll never find us buying them at Walmart!<br /><br />The good ones are pricey, for the very simple reason that they tend to look almost like the real ones.<br /><br />We found some at New Growth Designs that we just love. The orchids are nice and tall, so they look super dramatic. Some of them are over 5 feet tall. We like putting them on a console table, in front of a mirror along with some other accessories.<br /><br />Check out some of our favorite ones:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwirnuy6r3YHYBAHSCQ0GOhlHxjQ67Sl3ZP2avmWmVivh7F_w4yNNb5vxfUNwxRkybenSSNH3SLeBmzG5Qlj19OyQRXjSSqI8yUm-5H0JZ317z8oUduMgDf0oYT87pic_3ghlfhErv74pi/s1600-h/G12112DOH.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396348378014018034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwirnuy6r3YHYBAHSCQ0GOhlHxjQ67Sl3ZP2avmWmVivh7F_w4yNNb5vxfUNwxRkybenSSNH3SLeBmzG5Qlj19OyQRXjSSqI8yUm-5H0JZ317z8oUduMgDf0oYT87pic_3ghlfhErv74pi/s320/G12112DOH.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP1s6dNhpEplNnWcvQ4rpDTn8P6xq3ccgx-A-V5HxjNN6aGAs1xlnJhPlVkRHj2Zbw1WIWQK1yzBGzNmC0DYLZydKsuBuNjlWnLmKSnKVKsra6GejwRl7wA0CnR4DPitkuzb9vPa_udfT1/s1600-h/15214CRP_zm_2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396348177076877618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP1s6dNhpEplNnWcvQ4rpDTn8P6xq3ccgx-A-V5HxjNN6aGAs1xlnJhPlVkRHj2Zbw1WIWQK1yzBGzNmC0DYLZydKsuBuNjlWnLmKSnKVKsra6GejwRl7wA0CnR4DPitkuzb9vPa_udfT1/s320/15214CRP_zm_2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSNrSouClClRbCbFmy87opxFDNDdL5f4CT86ZrBiQmwLIWtITVO-O3-tPYRBSmil6kkC1_UTDcxJwxiiaVcwmOgIfiS_SA8cXojs24TkYCyuXhxo6m1_EtLe2VZNFizB6iFxzyszpdwdlB/s1600-h/15310PG_zm_1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396348081515302530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSNrSouClClRbCbFmy87opxFDNDdL5f4CT86ZrBiQmwLIWtITVO-O3-tPYRBSmil6kkC1_UTDcxJwxiiaVcwmOgIfiS_SA8cXojs24TkYCyuXhxo6m1_EtLe2VZNFizB6iFxzyszpdwdlB/s320/15310PG_zm_1.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgExF3IDmFK0XNTbkqCE7g5vdVLly_MZxVtnr1QIi4cjk5XHnlAEseP1T3R2fzZbx1wOXeXEf07iaJxsOEh9KWueElORTpXnd2swpGwW12HrXxZznCtjxruvnZX3lUR4YvYB-pzXmGpBBRS/s1600-h/1256WH.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396347952205533954" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgExF3IDmFK0XNTbkqCE7g5vdVLly_MZxVtnr1QIi4cjk5XHnlAEseP1T3R2fzZbx1wOXeXEf07iaJxsOEh9KWueElORTpXnd2swpGwW12HrXxZznCtjxruvnZX3lUR4YvYB-pzXmGpBBRS/s320/1256WH.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwtC-tgxNvbSrLrtOvEILpoSePMBmRxmZkyLJntUcEytDVmQHbtYeyjx3f2PFmvbx0DOcb3quNPKJfgo9-DSTtHO7TB3SHUcSs4deMiUkkg9WKsGOZDzUpr_9qdupwHBdr-8Eb2CBFzM97/s1600-h/1573PK.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396347859014271106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwtC-tgxNvbSrLrtOvEILpoSePMBmRxmZkyLJntUcEytDVmQHbtYeyjx3f2PFmvbx0DOcb3quNPKJfgo9-DSTtHO7TB3SHUcSs4deMiUkkg9WKsGOZDzUpr_9qdupwHBdr-8Eb2CBFzM97/s320/1573PK.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBqJkIxO74Z59G5yAT3RO5rkotAR5ukkT-NxlLmv0RnBwIn2YdTUaFH7AhVLjSM8Cypn1f36_MkGGa1kIycO7SVOlc658f1Uhl_GWnrp6LtMOngPdAJPhiGpra7fxLc1eTbkoYkMduYNUK/s1600-h/1507PK.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396347761951634770" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBqJkIxO74Z59G5yAT3RO5rkotAR5ukkT-NxlLmv0RnBwIn2YdTUaFH7AhVLjSM8Cypn1f36_MkGGa1kIycO7SVOlc658f1Uhl_GWnrp6LtMOngPdAJPhiGpra7fxLc1eTbkoYkMduYNUK/s320/1507PK.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwdE9ml7CU5eik39A5cnMxEpgXcm-X1sihG03I-LiR-ySMpbF0Moh0eWCazBUPLQxiEJvrjfhC1CCxVnsg-js8bGGWEODiFybXBNiPWFy1MKqAimzrakanWccZ4KdOsSk_PKNt7YpfsD20/s1600-h/1256WH.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396347661355163170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwdE9ml7CU5eik39A5cnMxEpgXcm-X1sihG03I-LiR-ySMpbF0Moh0eWCazBUPLQxiEJvrjfhC1CCxVnsg-js8bGGWEODiFybXBNiPWFy1MKqAimzrakanWccZ4KdOsSk_PKNt7YpfsD20/s320/1256WH.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> We'll be posting these on our <a href="http://www.insideavenue.com/c-458-silk-flowers.aspx" target="_blank">silk flowers </a>section soon.

Really Pretty Silk Flowers from Atrium Foliage

When the weather starts to get cold and gloomy, we find ourselves craving for colors. That's when we find silk flowers an attractive option--mainly for the fact that it's almost impossible to find fresh flowers in the winter, plus we're super lazy, and silk flowers require no maintenance whatsoever...<br /><br />Here are some from Atrium Foliage that we really like. Based out of Atlanta, they make the flowers to order, one arrangement at a time... We like them because they look and feel expensive (and okay, they ARE a little expensive, but worth every pennies though).<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoTyMSzxDSmS2ZyUurEXgO8tmDeb4rH87yAzP_dZv4dzZeQDOPsCcLtWCqCZWBftMmAHOVkdn8hZsBMryd_-Vf0WAMM_nEQmEw1lo00GMu_tBMCnj213fiDVCaCbbAoPvtFQbrC9AWZRgy/s1600-h/F181.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396345091754180610" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoTyMSzxDSmS2ZyUurEXgO8tmDeb4rH87yAzP_dZv4dzZeQDOPsCcLtWCqCZWBftMmAHOVkdn8hZsBMryd_-Vf0WAMM_nEQmEw1lo00GMu_tBMCnj213fiDVCaCbbAoPvtFQbrC9AWZRgy/s320/F181.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEriTTgfZLxeNMZG3O59Xq8BprnVtPAuaTOf9nPW7IJvc1Dvs7ubdDaeo76KyDPJeSDiFxEwdFdvNJZthnELYnshSgqxowmcsSrOPMrzLsSJAXKJ5d4pqq6MXX-Qy_dalefX3YWRIRQejc/s1600-h/F174.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396344976254360034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEriTTgfZLxeNMZG3O59Xq8BprnVtPAuaTOf9nPW7IJvc1Dvs7ubdDaeo76KyDPJeSDiFxEwdFdvNJZthnELYnshSgqxowmcsSrOPMrzLsSJAXKJ5d4pqq6MXX-Qy_dalefX3YWRIRQejc/s320/F174.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 315px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgSr9BLUd-CF08jrDu8JGzilrxLuKMsl7UVwKFgSUU3SNFipCCZCR7OtLXxDEUIPY_EJxab1cADYKmYcEnsshdPDb5Pn0brVQYxd3Tz9-8JFN9xvgIZKBwq8Q_TXos3tk4tUdHty7m8y74/s1600-h/F156.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396344884878729842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgSr9BLUd-CF08jrDu8JGzilrxLuKMsl7UVwKFgSUU3SNFipCCZCR7OtLXxDEUIPY_EJxab1cADYKmYcEnsshdPDb5Pn0brVQYxd3Tz9-8JFN9xvgIZKBwq8Q_TXos3tk4tUdHty7m8y74/s320/F156.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 312px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNEelXClApVrRUe5qz9c0NVpWcmI43vRq_s0kv_BzPPJUYjZ_i2Cs27YMq0EI2LEv1rjSRC0jAtDxQIMTuHcuZPu4TVBeqIkfl7UyiAZ1jdGwk2obo_F4UdpQyKkkRDjAUb-M8k4_x9Ydz/s1600-h/F62.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396344780826967378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNEelXClApVrRUe5qz9c0NVpWcmI43vRq_s0kv_BzPPJUYjZ_i2Cs27YMq0EI2LEv1rjSRC0jAtDxQIMTuHcuZPu4TVBeqIkfl7UyiAZ1jdGwk2obo_F4UdpQyKkkRDjAUb-M8k4_x9Ydz/s320/F62.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 269px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJJK3P557F8mkA5IxsRKx9KfxnzKCtvB6ENBIz276IsuVQ29eaK-Z-4mAwE-hPFajUA5NK2vxbS8e3jr3ei2i9NRVNljPkqaB136g8pedb_oYmrExLjvI9FXiVzHzDvD5DTwHvpa6StzOL/s1600-h/F59.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396344686181945090" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJJK3P557F8mkA5IxsRKx9KfxnzKCtvB6ENBIz276IsuVQ29eaK-Z-4mAwE-hPFajUA5NK2vxbS8e3jr3ei2i9NRVNljPkqaB136g8pedb_oYmrExLjvI9FXiVzHzDvD5DTwHvpa6StzOL/s320/F59.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 316px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqD9o47iEmDHgvWpIHWKjcJU8b9t-ReYRYNkxF-UU8OXMZyrp5jkHDFxP8-Ie0d3AJpHFXPSIgAE9nhWdRRmO9E21uu6qZsdGYVf7zdrDZxh2IxCZ5aWcDjBLY2hv2Dnnkle9dBfDDKxHz/s1600-h/F8a.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396344582541794914" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqD9o47iEmDHgvWpIHWKjcJU8b9t-ReYRYNkxF-UU8OXMZyrp5jkHDFxP8-Ie0d3AJpHFXPSIgAE9nhWdRRmO9E21uu6qZsdGYVf7zdrDZxh2IxCZ5aWcDjBLY2hv2Dnnkle9dBfDDKxHz/s320/F8a.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 236px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPWCeo3bND3IZf-avTq4mnsshYCBHzfRMQecytZ_RQhihwDRMdDKJScn8ks5vTGCyV-jglGRXJdIgiNPMa9HWIjYZ7civWYN6WLOr9LCpg9hdO7Tets-ybIMVRWHH0RhnqbWOZrH2RyQwj/s1600-h/F7.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396344484038363154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPWCeo3bND3IZf-avTq4mnsshYCBHzfRMQecytZ_RQhihwDRMdDKJScn8ks5vTGCyV-jglGRXJdIgiNPMa9HWIjYZ7civWYN6WLOr9LCpg9hdO7Tets-ybIMVRWHH0RhnqbWOZrH2RyQwj/s320/F7.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br />We'll be posting these on our <a href="http://www.insideavenue.com/c-458-silk-flowers.aspx" target="_blank">silk flowers </a>section in a couple of days.
