Out with the old, in with the Autumn
A marriage of glass and brass, the Lantern Pendant designed by Stephen Burks glows like a harvest moon on a clear September night. Hot molten glass is blown directly into an oversized mesh structure, containing it like a net. The lamp is available in a variety of translucent colors and is part of a collection of lamps designed by Burks and manufactured by Mattermade. mattermatters.com

Let It Glow - These candles are an instant hit as a gift. Made from soy wax, they are clean burning, soot-free, nontoxic, and biodegradable. Unlike petroleum, soy is a renewable resource. The vessels themselves make a statement—the Shanghai features a beautiful oriental cup; the Moroccan has a jewel-like effect with a gold leaf on colored glass; and the Mint Julep is in its very own silver cup. Their scent is intoxicating, and they last twice as long as paraffin candles. Market Street’s boxes are truly one-of-a-kind as well; each is hand-stamped with a wax seal and tied with a grosgrain ribbon. They are also one of the few suppliers that choose to use soy ink. marketstreetcandles.com
