au revoir!

STORE CLOSED

Summer 2022 Be Bright Box Reveal

Summer 2022 Be Bright Box Reveal

Our Summer Be Bright Box is on it's way out to our subscribers!  Inspiring you to add color and joy to your home throughout the year, the Be Bright Subscription Box invites you to treat yourself to cheerful & whimsical home goods each season. Each quarterly box contains: a textile (such as a pillow, throw, cocktail napkins, etc.), artwork, a unique vintage decor piece, a luxurious candle in a fresh scent, and other seasonal (not holiday-specific) item(s) to liven up your home.

If you are a Be Bright Box subscriber and have not opened your box yet, please do so before watching this video. I don't want to spoil any surprises! 

As the the sunlight lingers longer into the evenings, my family dines together on our patio more than ever. This quarter, I was inspired to curate a box focused on setting a vibrantly beautiful garden-inspired table. Finish off your table by cutting a few flowers or small branches from your yard for an easy centerpiece.

Textile:  Fringe napkin set ($24) and striped fringe hand towel ($10)
Candle:  9 oz. hand-poured soy wax candle in a French jar hand-poured for Be Bright Box. Notes of ozone, violet, honeydew, and citrus ($28)
Decor:  Wildflower plates designed by Eli Halpin. Hand finished. Microwave and dishwasher safe ($62), Amphora bud vase ($12)
Artwork:  "Which One Will He Choose" by Leah Straatsma tells the story of a woman holding out a white flower for a bee, who is lost against pretty daisy floral wallpaper. 8" x 10" ($30)
Vintage:  Hand-picked for Be Bright Box (Approx. $30, based on what it would sell for at our brick & mortar shop, Bonboni Mercantile Co.)
