On My Radar — Objects

A collection of objects that have stopped me in my tracks over the past few months.

I'm definitely in a nesting phase of life right now, trying to settle into home after some big life changes – both in my physical space and within my sense of self. One of my favourite hobbies is just curating things into collections (as you can probably tell with Magnetism) and I spend a lot of time browsing online and making lists. I also love a good still life and playing around with collage as you’ll see throughout this entry :-)

Anyways, here are some of the little things I’ve been saving, searching for, and pondering about lately. Not quite a gift guide, but I’ve linked the artists, makers and small businesses if you’re looking for some unique gifts this season.

Ceramic Tableware by Ginny Sims

@ginnysimsceramics

I found Ginny’s page today and immediately fell in love with the playful shapes and colours of their work. The kind of beautiful pieces that enhance your daily routines.

Crochet Accessories by Lolo Crochète

@lolocrochete

Dainty hand knit accessories with an emphasis on bows! I love everything Lory makes.

Twisted Taper Candles by Wolf Pachacuti

found on @junehomesupply

I love a good beeswax taper, and this twisted candle in my favourite sky blue has been calling my name. Almost too pretty to burn (almost).

Egg Chandelier by Gohar World

@gohar.world

A beautifully odd centerpiece, I love Gohar World’s universe of lace, pearls, and beans.

Butter Dish by Analuisa Corrigan

@analuisacorrigan

The perfect place to display the butter I splurged on again.

Turkish Kilim Throw Pillows

(clockwise) 1./3./4. Kilim Pillow Decors 2. Sarikaya Kilim Pillows

I’ve been looking for some unique throw cushions with stripes and a lot of texture, these Turkish Kilim Pillows are so beautiful and one of a kind.

Love Bird Nameplate by Yeah It's Jewelry

@yeahitjewelry

My favourite shop for unique vintage and modern gold jewelry! Chloe curates the coolest pieces, and I’m saving up for one of these Love Bird nameplates one day <3.

Vintage French Laundry Labels

Auvergne Memories on Etsy

These vintage laundry labels are so sweet. They would be perfect for labelling my favourite handmade or vintage pieces, and even to use as trim or ribbon. I’m a sucker for anything with my initials on it.

Vintage Fish Candleholders

1. & 2. Lemons Loot 3. Lisa’s Pieces Boutique

I’m on the hunt for fish decor lately. I recently thrifted a wooden fish dish for my keys and I smile every time I use it. I tend to gravitate towards little personal motifs and currently mine are: fish, swans, rabbits, bows, & eggs.

Block Printed Lamp Shade Cover by Bohome Interiors

@bohomeinteriors

My bedroom is full of stripes, and these little handmade lamp shade covers would fit right in. I’m inspired to try and make some for myself! Bohome Interior’s Instagram gets me so excited and inspired to decorate my little apartment.

Hare Wool Blanket by J.J. Textile

J.J. Textile

Always looking for the perfect cozy throw blanket, and this one feels so right <3

Charms from Above Average Studios

@aboveaveragestudio — 15% off with the code MICHELLESALTER

My favourite Canadian jewelry brand! I wear my Mini Daisy necklace almost everyday. I’m so in love with the bow, fish and spiral charms that they recently released. Like I said, big fan of a lil personal motif!!!

Nerikomi Plate by Nerikomi Co.

Nerikomi Co. on Etsy

I love the simplicity of this plate, reminiscent of quilting and basketweaving. My cupboard is full of one-off plates that I’ve found over the years in thrift stores and handmade markets. Nothing makes me happier than having a lil snack on wonky handmade dishes.

Mindful Homewares by Salter House

@salter.house

I remember when I first came across Salter House on Instagram — I almost shed a happy tear seeing my last name representing a shop that felt so ‘me’, like I handpicked each piece myself. Salter House carries a collection of mindfully curated and collaborative home goods and handmade clothing.

Wax Seal Signet Rings by TrumpetForTwo

TrumpetForTwo on Etsy

Yet another way to wear my favourite symbols :’). I love these handmade signet rings that create the sweetest wax seal designs.
