I just saw these in Alabama http://elmdesign.craftlaunch.com/ - the candles smelled really good too. I love all of the gilded stuff that's popular now!! Thanks for the roundup... and that gold coin bank reminds me of Looper.
I just saw this bowl for sale on Chapter's website, and almost want to get it for myself...if it was more substantial, I'd get it as a wedding gift for a friend but it's too small/cheap for that, unfortunately: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/gifts/Gold-Hammered-Bowl-Small/882709079637-item.html?ref=by-shop%3aclearance%3aclearance-home%3ahome-clearance%3a118
Thanks to design sources like AT, I now know that I'd like 3 elements in my home: metal (such as gold), basket weave (baskets or grasscloth) and nature (live plants, shells, rocks).
Gold is not my favorite metal but I think some of these are very nice. The pig does kind of creep me out though.
Now if these were all copper, they'd be much cooler.
