I always like to stop in Eden Art Gallery on Madison Avenue. It is near where my bus picks up so I am in that area often. Their gallery on Madison also recently when through a big renovation and it looks amazing. This is a really wonderful gallery filled with pop & modern art.
This is part of their new gallery design, and I really liked it. A great way to chill out and enjoy the amazing art all around you!

I was thrilled to visit the Lladró boutique this weekend on Madison Avenue after they contacted me to partner with them. Lladró is a very respected company, having been in business since the 1950's.
Here is some information on the company history from their website:
In 1953 Juan, José and Vicente Lladró make their first creations inspired by an experimental vocation in a Moorish furnace built in their own home in Almàssera (Valencia). By 1955 they begin making sculptures in which a clear influence of the trends of the XVIII century can be observed. These pieces evoke the works of former porcelain artists such as Meissen, Sèvres and Capodimonte.
The displays in their window were just marvelous.
Pieces that will be handed down from generation to generation.
Issued in 2008, this piece in the window was just so lovely! The detail is just mind-blowing!
Lladro presents the third part of Re-Cyclos, an ongoing project in which renowned designers use already existing elements of Lladró creations to breathe life into new pieces. The UK designers Clare Page and Harry Richardson, members of the Committee team, draw inspiration from the flowers, animals and angels in the Lladró catalogue to offer us a personal vision of the different stages of love, the wonders of the animal kingdom or the inherent curiosity of all creatures. Evocative, poetic creations with a touch of humor.
Lladró home décor is a truly lovely addition to their product line. They carry a wide variety of chandliers, hanging, wall and table lamps. This type of décor for your home is something you will have forever, and future generations will enjoy as well. The lamp above would make any room it was placed in much more chic.
So beautiful !
The detail in these pieces are really just over-the-top.
Lladró really showcases the new trends for lighting as well as their various products on their website. I really loved this light above, it is just so elegant and would add so much to a room.
How adorable is this? What a lovely gift !
I was thrilled to see the Lladró candles within their home fragrance line. They all smelled wonderful, and I love the little cherub at the top.
I did purchase one of them, GARDENS OF VALENCIA, A fruity aroma with notes of bergamot, tuberose and vanilla. Fresh as the land where Lladró creations are born. I am also thrilled that you can keep the glass the candle is housed in, and use to hold cotton balls or q-tips very elegantly.
I love unique gifts, and these necklaces titled Animal Heroes, are for sure a unique gift. I thought they were wonderful, and then when I read the cause behind it, felt even better.
I was left speechless looking at their jewelry line, so unique and interesting. I love when I wear a piece of jewelry and everyone asks me where it was from. That is when you know you have a winner, lots of compliments and these will for sure allow you to receive lots of praise.
I absolutely loved this lamp! Mademoiselle Table Lamp Daniela is the title, and I cannot imagine anyone not loving this receiving as a gift ! Unique, beautiful and a real stunner, what is there not to love!
How gorgeous is that mirror and those lamps? Pure elegance defined by Lladró for your home decor!
The Hairstyle collection of lamps from Lladró Atelier, the brand’s laboratory of ideas, has been created in collaboration with the Japanese designer Hisakazu Shimizu. The lamps are inspired by historical Japanese characters and their unique hairstyles. They are decorated in black and white and some touches of golden luster. The lampshades are completely handmade with several layers of blown Murano glass and they are inspired by the Sandogasa, a kind of wide traditional straw travelling hat worn in medieval Japan on long journeys. The smooth rounded base is made in satin black lacquered wood.
The Firefly lamp is pure genius as it is beautiful. You charge it, therefore it is cordless, and can be moved to any part in your home where you need lighting. Fantastic idea!!
The firefly’s magical quality of emitting light is the inspiration for Firefly, the first collection of cordless lamps in Lladró porcelain. These table lamps with chargeable batteries and independent LED lighting are perfect any indoor or outdoor space. With designs inspired by plant motifs and decorated with attractive combinations of colors, they combine state-of-the-art cordless lighting technology with the exclusiveness of handmade Lladró porcelain, including the screens whose translucent quality lets the light filter through to produce a warm, intense glow.
He is just too darn adorable!
I really loved this piece as color just makes everyone happy!
The source of inspiration for this truly spectacular piece can be found in the mystery shrouding the famous Venetian masks, the beautiful and sumptuous fancy dress and the sheer romanticism that surrounds the Carnival in Venice. The focus of attention in this bust is the floral headdress, a virtuoso exercise by the artists in the High Porcelain workshop.
For sure this chandelier would be an outstanding piece in any home.
Lord Shiva, the Hindu god of meditation and the arts, in a sculpture made in High Porcelain, Lladró’s maximum artistic category. A piece that boasts many complex decorative techniques, like golden luster, and a large amount of handmade flowers made petal by petal. Shiva’s attributes are finely defined with a host of details enhancing his majestic character: the trident, the drum, the snake, the bands of Rudraksha and the bun in his hair. The base provides room for the optional piece Lingam (01001981), a symbol used to worship Shiva and to overcome any situation that impedes personal growth.
This piece was so stunning in person!
I just loved the Lladró logo on the door going out! I hope you enjoyed this visit, and that I showed you some items that arouse your curiosity. If you are looking for a unique gift, or something fabulous for your own home, Lladró is a place you must visit!
Disclosure: I was very honored to partner with Lladró on this feature. I only recommend products that I feel will be of interest to my readers, and that I am truly impressed by. All opinions are my own. Thank you!!

Counter-Couture: Handmade Fashion in an American Counterculture celebrates the handmade fashion and style of the 1960s and ’70s. Often referred to as the hippie movement, the Counterculture swept away the conformism of the previous decade and professed an alternative lifestyle whose effects still resonate today. Moved by the rejection of a materialist and consumerist interpretation of the American Dream, Counterculture youths embraced ideals of self-sufficiency and self-expression. Against the backdrop of Vietnam War protests and the civil rights movement, hippies, flower children, and other idealistic young people shunned the cultural standards of their parents, embraced the struggle for racial and gender equality, used drugs to explore altered states of consciousness, and cultivated a renewed dimension of spirituality.
The pursuit of a personal style proved a transcendental tool toward self-realization, enlightenment, and freedom from conventions. Counter-Couture exhibits garments, jewelry, and accessories by American makers who crafted the very reality that they craved, on the margins of society and yet at the center of an epochal shift. The works on display encompass the ethos of members of a generation who fought for change by sewing, embroidering, quilting, patchworking, and tie-dyeing their identity. Putting the handmade at the center of their daily revolution, they embraced and contributed to establishing a folk sensibility in a seminal moment for the development of American Craft.
Counter-Couture: Handmade Fashion in an American Counterculture is part of The Art and Craft of Getting Dressed, a series of three exhibitions at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) this spring that embrace craftsmanship, cultural commentary, and critical thinking in fashion practices—from the couture to the conceptual—across multiple generations. In keeping with the MAD’s dedication to investigating studio “process” in modern and contemporary art and craft, these exhibitions highlight how fashion, as an expanded field of craft, serves as a platform for artists and designers to explore ways of making that champion artistry, expressiveness, and social responsibility—from concept to product.
Counter-Couture: Handmade Fashion in an American Counterculturewas organized by Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue, Washington, and curated by Guest Curator Michael Cepress. It was secured for the Museum of Arts and Design by William and Mildred Lasdon Chief Curator Shannon R. Stratton with the support of Assistant Curator Barbara Paris Gifford.
Counter-Couture: Handmade Fashion in an American Counterculture is made possible by the generous support of Michele and Marty Cohen and the Chairmen’s Council, a leading Museum support group. Additional support is provided by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council
