BOHEMIAN HALLOWEEN

Happy Halloween! Time to put out some favorite decorations! A pair of wooden, carved candlesticks picked up on a jaunt in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico. A pair of Dancing Black Cats! Dancing Pumpkin Man by AUGUST MOON. Witch on a Moon by AUGUST MOON. Jack on a Raven by AUGUST MOON.  The front of a fun T-shirt from Target’s Boy’s Department to wear while watching scary movies! My own crude but scary Halloween pumpkin.  I hope everyone has a great Halloween evening!

BOHEMIAN BOOK ALERT!

Finally! After combing through various books about Bohemians, Bohemian Lifestyle, etc., I found this book which was just released recently. HOME SWEET HOME, Sumptuous and Bohemian Interiors by OBERTO GILI with an Introduction by Susanna Salk, published by RIZZOLI.  This book is fabulous! Mr. Gili’s photography invites you into homes and has you poring over each page, soaking in the ambiance of each abode. I sometime just sit and look at each picture and it has caused me to make adjustments to my own home to capture the feel that these dwellings have. From Bohemian Minimalism (which I never thought I would see the words Bohemian and Minimalism in the same sentence much less the same house) into Full Blown Bohemian, there is something everyone with even the smallest streak of Bohemian in them will like.

BOHEMIAN SUN

                                                                                                                                                                                       Love this Kenneth Jay Lane Sun pendant!

It fans out to reveal sparkly rays!

BOHEMIAN COAT

This print makes me think of stained glass.

Amazing!

Vintage Leo Narducci coat circa 1965. It is actually printed on a velour velvet  from a collection he did for Guy D, the year he received a special Coty Award (he received this award for one of America’s most promising designers!).  The print was styled by Art Ortenberg who was also married to Liz Claiborne (This of course was before Art and Liz went into their own business).

BOHEMIAN GANESH

This HUGE Ganesh statue would be so fabulous in a home on an oriental rug.

What’s with the rat statuette in the lower corner at the foot of Ganesh on the right?  Wish I had gotten him when I was in Santa Fe for someone I know who was born in a year of THE RAT.
