Stumped

I was really taken with Brooklyn artist Vanessa Chew's "Roots" necklace, which I came across in a blast email from the the upcoming New York International Gift Fair.  So striking, right?

It reminded me of some of the stump walkways I've noticed, which provide a beautiful, natural alternative to stone or brick...

Actually, tree stumps are kind of all the rage lately, for country casual wedding decor...

... to home accents...

Last Fall, an artist in Providence, RI installed a series of chair backs to existing stumps around the city, in an effort to transform "eyesores to Windsors"...

If these looks are too rustic for you, you could always go with the painted gold stump...

or Sharon Sides' stunning acid etched metal stumps chair...
