HALLOWEEN ENTERTAINING: MEMENTO MORI DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GOREY
I guess it is time I started looking forward to Halloween, as it is just a few weeks away. With the orange and black pumpkin-festooned fanfare about to get underway, I thought I would share one of the only things I actually like that has skulls on it. It might seem a tad seasonal, but owning a marble memento mori serving piece with inlaid eyes, nose and teeth in sparking mother of pearl could be sort of fun. If you want to dress up adult cocktail hour on Halloween while the kiddies run wild, this is your big chance. This smiling skull silhouette cutting board, designed by Thomas Fuchs, comes in all white or all black marble and is available at Barneys. Boo.
