Ok, I must admit that I am smitten with the newest Julia Knight serving pieces. No really, I think I've gone crazy... I want it all! The vibrant colors scream spring entertaining, and the pieces are completely meant to mix and match-- which is exactly how I like to decorate. Each piece is an unique, handmade sculptural work of art. Sandcast by hand in high-grade aluminum, each piece is hand-painted with a special color enamel and then mixed with crushed Mother of Pearl. How many times did I just say "done by hand?" These are really exquisite.
I love so many of the pieces and colors, that I honestly don't have a favorite yet.... I just know that these special "blooms" are guaranteed to make someone smile and never need fertilizer. Go ahead, try to choose just one. Betcha can't.... :-)
