I have said it before, but Jonathan Adler is such a fresh and fun designer when it comes to home accessories. I love anything with a little quirky humour and cute style and Adler is the Grande Dame of this approach. He is a master at creating a clear and strong brand, from the packaging to the consistent style he reinforces year after year. I don't actually own any of his work, so he is also at the top of my "wish list".
My latest top ten(ish)...

Jonathan Adler Pop Candles
The new line of scented candles from Jonathan Adler has me in a spin. The Pop Candle Collection is made up of three new scents, all derived from a fresh garden theme. Watercress, Tomato and Grapefruit pack a beautifully scented punch, presented in a simple glass container in vibrant colours to lighten up your life.
Summery scents that will freshen up your space and mind. Good enough to eat. Delicious!
Tomato: a blend of tomato leaves, basil, rhubarb, thyme and sandalwood. Like bottling the tangy freshness of a tomato vine in a glass.

DESIGN THERAPY: Jonathan Adler
This has been on my radar for sometime now, but I saved the real joy of discovering Jonathan Adler until I moved back to the States. A designer of contemporary home furnishings and accessories, Adler has a tongue in cheek approach to his work perfectly reflected in his manifesto. My particular favourites plucked from his list include "We believe that when it comes to decorating, the wife is always right. Unless the husband is gay" & "We believe minimalism is a bummer." You can read the entire piece here and you will quickly get the picture that Adler believes that there are no rules for decorating and accessorising except to go for what you love and not to be constrained by "rules". Here, here!
Not surprisingly, given the name of my blog and future project, I instantly desire any of the porcelain jars from his Druggist collection, described as "An apothecary of emotion".
Browse the full selection from his Druggist collection here.
Since Christmas is upon us, here's a selection of ornaments that I would love to decorate my tree with, then probably hang around the place for the rest of the year.
Now, who wouldn't love a poodle on their tree?
The real treat is that Jonathan Adler has a "Design Your Own" service where you can try your hand at creating the perfect pillow, rug or tote bag using an array of colours and patterns. I warn you, once you start creating your fantasy designs, there really is no stopping. I particularly love the Zebra faux-animal rug.
This is fun stuff, beautifully designed and creatively presented. I am an instant fan.

Ta Da!!!... Of course I had to go for pink and green!
Too much fun and dangerously expensive if you actually buy your creations (I just made some up and saved them in the Gallery as a kind of wishlist).This is fun stuff, beautifully designed and creatively presented. I am an instant fan.
