Bottle it Up

The new year calls for breaking out the vintage wine — or in this case, just the bottles. These miners’ bottles, available at Weisshouse in Shadyside, consist of rainbow-hued detonation wire decoratively woven around empty wine bottles. According to Weisshouse, it’s believed these one-of-a-kind pieces were created while the miners relaxed before their shifts, or possibly as they waited to return to the mines after precautionary evacuations.

Cozy Coverup

Cold weather makes us want to get cozy, and here’s a way to do it in style. Inspired by vintage weaving from the early 19th century, the navy-and-white Winter + Summer cotton coverlet from Schoolhouse in East Liberty is crafted from yarn-dyed cotton. Thanks to its graphic color contrast — created by a traditional float weaving technique — the piece, besides keeping you warm, also looks good draped over your bed or sofa.

Flower Power

Give your tabletop some zen with this flower-wrapped bowl by Michael Aram, available at Splurge in Fox Chapel. Part of the Anemone collection, the delicate flowers are said to be associated with purity and peace, as well as good luck — which makes it perfect to set out as we enter a new year.
