Bruges Home's Holiday Plan

This year we're balancing our own gift shopping list with what we read in the financial news and bet you're doing the same. That's why for the entire holiday shopping season from the day after Thanksgiving to the evening  before Christmas -- we're taking 30% off your total receipt whether you're standing in line or shopping on-line.

That's right, from Friday November 28th to December 24th, you'll get 30% off everything from candles to couches without even asking. No exceptions, even the stuff you covet for yourself.

No caveats. No coupons. You're welcome.

John Derian Decoupage

Following up to a previous post about Decoupage, you can view our collection of John Derian Decoupage on our new site. 

Cool summer jewels

Summer is here and Melissa Joy Manning has added new stone pieces that feature smooth white
coral, opalescent pale blue chalcedony and blue & grey topaz on gorgeous necklaces and earrings. Also included is the uniquely beautiful bio agate with subtle tones of grey, blue and white.
Each piece is versatile and would be the perfect addition to any summer wardrobe!

Decoupage

Decoupage is the art of cutting and gluing paper images to surfaces.

John Derian, an avid collector of antique fruit, flower and animal prints, hand-paints borders over centuries-old ledgers and letters. He combines all these elements into charmingly eccentric collages, which are reprinted and pieced together in layers under glass accessories.

Karin Garcia is an Argentinian born artist well known for her decoupaged furniture. She prints her own paper and creates magnificent designs beneath resin, that she calls 'Functional Art'.

"I love this technique because it is infinite -- there is no limit to the different styles that can be achieved." Karin Garcia
