Welcome to The Editors’ Cutour monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: Folded-paper stars, painted baubles, delicate blown glass designs—there’s a bevy of tiny, intricately made ornaments out there, and we’re easily wooed by them all. But this year, we noticed one common thread amongst the decor we’re admiring lately: flora, fauna, fish, and fruits, immortalized in shiny brass and pressed tin. Have a look. — The R/G Editors
