Heather Ross Boutique

Heather Ross's boutique in Vancouver is a must visit. Heather scours the flea markets in France and Italy for authentic time worn treasures… china & rustic provencal pottery, chandeliers and sconces, Chinoiserie, botanical prints, objets d’art & whimsical curios. Her alluring canvasses have subtly nuanced layers of colors and glazing and finely etched pencil markings suggest a dreamy landscape with their ephemeral circular forms and horizon lines.

Keeper Of Keys

Have a messy key bowl at your front door? Jonathan Adler has created this elegant key holder that would look "Pretty" anywhere.

Keep It Fresh

Stick a digital DaysAgo monitor to the lid of a jar or a container after it's been opened. The reusable gadget, attached with a suction cup or a magnet, counts the days so you don't have to.
