Michael Aram's Perfect Gifts

I spent today on the run trying to get a few more things knocked off my list. I took a little detour  through Nieman Marcus. It was suppose to be a quick spin. It turned into an hour of gazing, touching, and fantasizing. That all turned into a crush. Meet Michael Aram!


Maybe you've already heard of him. Not me. But the minute I saw this beautiful menorah in the store, I started to connect the dots.  Raina of  If The Lampshade Fits did a "One Dozen Magnificent Menorahs" post recently and I declared this one as my favorite:


When I got home, I jumped on the computer and spent another hour looking at everything on his website! Serious crush. I know I said I don't want to push Christmas, but my evening is going to be spent writing about my crush.

Dearest Santa,
I have been the best girl ever!  You must know I would never make anything up that wasn't absolutely true. Okay, maybe there was a moment or two when I could have been better...done better, but I hope you will forgive me and not put me on that other list!  Anyway, I found several pretty, shiny things that someone very talented created. I really like them all. I would be so very appreciative if you could find room in your sack for just one. There will be room under my tree and I'm attaching some pictures for you to see!!!

  14. I love Michael Aram's things! I have a wonderful little twig shaped hors d'oeuvres set (fork, spoon and knife) that I've had for years and makes me smile every time I pull it out of its chic little burlap case. You wrote a very appealing note to Santa that I'm sure he will respond to in a generous fashion!

  15. I love his work. My girlfriend has been carrying his merchandise for over 10 years in her shop. I have a few of his pieces and I love his bowls and decorative items. I have a little secret. I found three or four of his pieces in Home Goods. Yes, for under $20.00 - I bought every piece and used them as gifts most of these retailed for over $120.00 to $200.00. Of course, I kept some of his platters for me. I know I shouldn't tell but can't resist sharing. Hope you get exactly what you want from Santa. xo
