Tweet! Object d'Art for Your Home from Lili & Loo

Right now I have my eye on this little brass sparrow. Won’t he look beautiful as a centerpiece perched on your Thanksgiving table? Very simple and sculptural. 

Or how about as a gift for a bird lover friend?

You can find him at one of my favorite stores Lili and Loo, a home and gift shop, in Hudson, New York. They feature the exotic, the edgy and the refined--including furniture, tableware, lighting and home accents. (See photo below.)

Check out Lili and Loo’s website and get a taste of what the store offers. The shop is also nesting a flock of other feathered friends in various price ranges. 

Better yet made a trip to Hudson. This charming historical village, less than an hour from Albany, has the best shopping. There are 65 antique stores, along 5 blocks on Warren Street.  I mostly browse (and dream) in the antique stores, because the majority are high-end. (Although you can find some bargains.) Where I buy is at Lili and Loo.

While you're in the area, you can tour nearby Olana--the impressive Persian-style home of Hudson River artist Frederick Church. His home is high on the hill overlooking the river, and the view is breathtaking.
