Setting a beautiful table is something that almost anyone can do. All it takes is a little research (cue Pinterest) for inspiration and a little shopping to pick up the perfect accessories. Then it's all about playing with your table arrangements to create your look.

While we know that Easter is still a ways off, we couldn't help but share our newest find; the Beaded Egg Votive Holder. This handcrafted, wirework egg shape absolutely sparkles with glass beads that shimmer in the flickering "candlelight".  It's important to note that they are only for use with flameless candles - you'll need to pick up a couple of the battery powered versions.  Available in two sizes, each candle holder comes with a 6 inch filament string so that you can hang them from your chandelier as well as place them on your table. No need to save this gem for Easter dinner, it's elegant enough to use all year long.

The Beaded Egg Votive Holders are available both in-store and online at Pottery Barn for $23.43 & $31.02 (Canadian dollars).

Stimulistas, it's time to stop checking your reflection in the rear view mirror as you wait at the stop light. You're beautiful and the mirror that you see your face in should be as well.

Local Vancovuer artist, Laura Bucci, has created these super cute pocket mirrors. Each one-of-a-kind, handmade mirror is a collage of vintage images, some of Vancouver in decades past,  with a short phrase or sentence that makes you pause for a moment to reflect - pardon the pun! Along with the vintage images she has also created a version that features silk fabric. Either way, these make a beautiful gift.

We discovered the Laura Bucci mirrors at Montage in Fort Langley. Each comes packaged in a beautiful gift box. The silk version retails for $28.99 and the vintage prints range from $14.99 to $19.99.

Sticky notes have got to be one of the world's greatest inventions. Perfect for reminders, bookmarking something, leaving little love notes or whatever else you can think of. Sometimes we get a little bored of the usual yellow, pink or blue squares. Wouldn't it be fun to change it up a little bit?

We found two options that will spice up your sticky note life. The first is Cavallini Map Sticky Notes. The gift box set come with five different sticky note pads each with a vintage world map printed on it. The second option is Leaf-it sticky notes. Inspired by leaves from Maple and Elm trees as well as ivy, these 60 sheet packs will add a unique touch to your reminders.

The Cavallini Map Sticky Notes are $14.95 and are available at paper-source.com with shipping at $7.00. The Leaf-it sticky notes are $8.00 from thefutureperfect.com. Check out their Canadian shipping instructions here.

We love discovering something new, especially when it's local and eco-friendly.

Do you remember your grandmother's collection of souvenir silver spoons? You know, the ones that hung on the wall in the wooden displays? While they were popular two or three decades ago, they don't exactly fit in with the home decor styles of today.

North Vancouver company Mum's Creations, has created Smart Spoon; a re-purposed and up-cycled version of the silver spoon that features modern phrases like "tnx" and "lol" written over top of antique paper. The wired beading is the final touch, creating a modern vintage feel that adds a touch of whimsy to tea time.

Smart Spoons are available online for $12 each from Mum's Creations.

Even in this electronic age of e-communications via Facebook, Twitter, email, Pinterest, etc., everyone still enjoys opening their mailbox to a beautifully addressed envelop. There's a little excitement as we wonder who has sent us something that isn't a bill!
