Weekend post: Fire King & Pear Compote

fire king

It’s pear season so I made pear compote with vanilla ice cream for dessert. The dishware you see are jade Fire Kings that I’ve been collecting.

I cooked these pears in red wine with my small red Le creuset pot. It’s the perfect Autumn treat.

George Nelson Sofa

I’ve been aching to get these sofas for a long time now but they are very rare. I finally ran into one but they were being sold for 5,000 dollars. The one above was being sold at Palm Springs for a more reasonable price but including the side table it was actually too big for my place. Hopefully I can make a promise to myself to get one in the future.

Laurel Mushroom Lamp

I’ve been looking for this Eames Era modern lamp called Laurel / UFO mushroom lamp for a while, but it’s hard to find a one in good condition with decent price.

These lamps are definitely modern classics. The one on the right corner is now available on ebay for $195.00.  It still has 4 days left. I’m not sure if I should bid on this or not……..
