Ever go through the motions of your day and find yourself reaching for those "go to" things you use on a regular basis? Your favorite coffee mug, your car keys, your favorite book to curl up with at the end of the day? Me too. But sometimes I take a fresh look at some of those items and think..."how can that be better...more beautiful and more functional all at once?" Why live with ho-hum household items? I never want to take for granted the things I live life with every day which is the inspiration behind my Trace Ellements creations. I like living eclectic. So when I reach for an everyday object I want it to be unique in design yet functional within my lifestyle. Elements of the everyday that bring a smile to my face, and in turn it makes me feel special. Why not? Why not live eclectic with beautiful accents all around you? Check out my idea of fun for ceiling fan pulls. Or a fresh take on the bookmark to keep your page. After that single glass of wine cork it in style with fabulous bottle stoppers that have some serious personality. And it doesn't stop in the home, bring a little bling or a lucky charm to your car interior with playful and light-catching rear view mirror car ornaments.

It doesn't take much to live elegantly or with an added sense of style, all it takes it taking notice, then giving yourself, or those you love, the gift of feeling special.
