{West Elm Holiday Collection 2010}

Have you seen West Elm lately? I've been flipping through the pages of their magazine this past weekend, and I sooo wish I could actually see the store {but the closest one is 3 hours away in Charlotte - boo...}. This season, David Stark has partnered with west elm for a collection of whimsical decorative accessories. From sparkly wreath's to natural-weaved trees, each piece is a touch of arts-and-crafts using objects from materials like recycled cardboard and paper. Check it out:
