Spring 2022 Be Bright Box Reveal

Spring 2022 Be Bright Box Reveal

Our Spring Be Bright Box is on it's way out to our founding members!  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! 

 


 

Our homes are our sanctuaries, a place where we can be our true selves and where many of our core memories are solidified. I've found that the more I love my home, my stress level decreases, and my happiness increases. My aim is that Be Bright Box can do the same for you.

For our first spring box, I focused on florals, as the end of winter just begs for new buds to burst forth. 
Spring 2022 Be Bright Box Reveal: floral embroidered pillow, original artwork (still life in a vase), marbled resin coasters, terracotta candlestick holder with green taper candle, a vintage brass dish, and a hand-poured soy candle.
Textile:  12" x 24" hand embroidered pillow made in India by artists who are dedicated to preserving ancient crafts ($70)
Candle:  9 oz. hand-poured soy wax candle hand-poured for Be Bright Box. Notes of bamboo, chrysanthemum, moss, & aloe ($28)
Decor:  Set of pink marbled coasters ($60), white & terra cotta candlestick holder ($18), taper candle ($3)
Artwork:  "Pink & Blue " by Melonnie Murphy. Mixed Media. 8" x 10". 2022. Signed and numbered by the artist. ($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.)

Simple Baked Brie with Spice Caramel Pear Jam Recipe

Simple Baked Brie with Spice Caramel Pear Jam Recipe

As the temperature cools, I'm always seeking easy recipes that can be thrown together for having a friend over in the backyard (socially distanced, of course). Here's one of my go-to feel good fall treats: a super simple baked brie with gourmet jam. Best of all, it bakes up beautifully in our ceramic brie baker with wood spreader.

Lauren's Bright & Eclectic Home Tour- Part 2

Lauren's Bright & Eclectic Home Tour- Part 2

As promised, here is part 2 of my home including our 2nd and 3rd floor. In case you were wondering, yes, it does feel a little pompous to call out the fact that we have a third floor. However, that was just how homes were built in our neighborhood 120+ years ago.

Lauren's Bright & Eclectic Home Tour- Part 1

If you’re anything like me, you love peeking into the lives of other people homes. It’s part curiosity (nosiness?) and part a desire to be inspired by others’ ideas.
