In a world where e-cards and e-vites are becoming the norm, receiving an actual handwritten note means more now than ever.
Recently catching our eye are these new greeting cards from Hope Wallace, a Baltimore-based collage artist and graphic designer who loves working with images and papers that evoke a bygone era.
The feminine, Victorian-inspired cards are blank inside. See more of Wallace's cards at her Web site http://paperrelics.com/, where she also sells bundles of antique paper and a line of rubber stamps. —C.W.
Home Sweet Home
Lose yourself in a lavender field or a garden filled with pomegranates, pears and figs without ever leaving the room. Simply
place reeds into one of Agraria's eight room-diffusing essences, inhale, and join a long line of sophisticated Agraria enthusiasts, including Giorgio Armani
and Meryl Streep. Choose from either the beloved Nob Hill Petite Essence Collection or the Santa Barbara Collection, Agraria's
first new collection in 38 years. http://agrariahome.com/ —R.A.
Lovely Luminaries
Lollia luminaries add a lovely touch to any home, and also to your salon's retail selection. The candles are categorized according
to such scents as Breathe, Relax, Believe, Inspire and Wish, and can be burned simultaneously to create new fragrances. The
delightful glass containers, which come with hanging crystal baubles, are reusable—and it's a good thing because they're way
too pretty to toss. http://lollialife.com/ —C.W.

HAIL TO HOLLYWOOD
Taking a cue from its West Coast roots, KMS California created a new image campaign for 2008 that reflects the life of six young Hollywood celebrities as they experience life on
and off of a movie set. KMS California's Artistic Director Kaycee Clark and her team used finger waves and pin curls to set
the stage for genuine Hollywood glamour. The chic styles, including the one seen here, all boast perfect movement and texture
for complete freedom of expression. —C.W.
