US shopping...more success!

 Remember my Moth Design blog recommendation ? I became particularly enamoured with Erica's tiny glass bud vases and ceramic urchin votive. She displayed tiny clusters of them in many rooms throughout her home.

Moth Design - Main Bedroom bedside table; I loved those bud vases!

 I found that they were still available at Velocity Art & Design and used my trusty US forwarding service, MyUS to get them shipped here to Australia! Yippee!!! And here they are in Australia - simply perfect!

  2. Hello Kerrie-Lee:
    Yes, we agree, your vases are simply lovely. The simplicity of shape and design is so very appealing and we look forward to seeing how you will use them throughout the house.

  4. Yay! So pretty! It makes me so happy to see you were able to get some. xo
    ps-I've been meaning to pop by and say that for the glass orbs, I know they have them at Crate and Barrel, but they might also be at Z Gallerie too.

  5. Oh, they're just gorgeous, KL! After doing some internet window shopping recently and then seeing the postage cost at checkout, I lost a little bit of faith in ordering from the US. Are the postage costs quite reasonable through the forwarding company you use?

  6. Love her style and design , just beautiful. All those soft muted colours are my fave. That bar cart in the ensuite is a great idea and looks so lovely brimming with the pretty vases and votives. Where can you buy them? Ps my shipping costs for my exterior lights from RH came to $550 but again I had to hassle them down from $700. Hopefully that's my last US order. Can't afford anymore!!

  7. Thank you for your comments Kylie, Jane and Lance!
    It's great to find someone with similar aesthetics; they can halve the 'searching' time for accessories! I already have a framed coral piece Trish, so the votives and vases will tie in so well here too. M, the postage costs are still high, they doubled the cost; they use dimentional size rather than weight to calculate cartage. (I bought them from Velocity - there's a link to their site in the post above) But these are not available here so, like Melinda who's also bought from the US, I'm still happy. x KL
