Hi!
Hope you are doing super. This week is off to a great start, as my Mom arrives from VA today. In addition to all her TLC and help with the lil' guy, I'm also really looking forward to her delicious Latin cooking! My Julia — she totally rocks!
So, to start off the week, I have Polish beauties for you to see. These pieces come from the Polish Art Center in Hamtramck, Michigan when my husband and I visited at the beginning of the summer. Pajak which means spider in Polish, is known as a paper chandelier and it is a dying art in Poland. The samples carried at this shop are from folk artists that are still practicing the craft. Beautiful and intricate, they are all done by hand using paper, thread and needle and raw straw, and of course lots of love and patience. I have posted in the past about the vintage paper chandelier my husband bought me last year and they only had a few left, but this time they had new and bigger inventory! I was thrilled to see all the different colors and sizes available. I want them all!!
Love it!
The owners' 35 yr old Pajak — the one item not for sale.
Lovely head-crown
This shop is truly a gem and the owners couldn't be sweeter. If you are in the Detroit area, go visit and also have some pierogies in one of the local Polish restaurants.

My future husband’s family is Polish and we are trying to think of fun ways to incorporate Polish decor at our wedding. The chandeliers look great but we have cathedral ceilings and can’t hang anything in our venue 
I’m so glad to see someone else enjoys Hamtramck! My FI and I go there for the Polish food (of course!) and the rocking local music scene.
