2. PILLOW PIZAZZ
More than a mere bit of tossable decor, this cushion has a sculptural quality that is all about ruffles — and knitting, felting and cutting. Made from certified organic materials by the Canadian company LoooLo Textiles.

3. NOT SO SHABBY
We liked the country French/feminine/but not too girly appeal of this Huntley dining chair with a weathered oak finish and a removable (flouncy) linen skirt.
Cost: $350

4. VEGGING OUT
California artist Margaret Dorfman has her way with fresh fruits and veggies (gathered up from local ethnic and farmers markets). She slices, dries, cures, shapes and presses her produce into delicate folded wonders. Not food safe, Veggie Parchment Bowls do just fine holding a votive candle. 7 1/2 inches deep by 4 1/2 inches tall.
Cost: $42 each vivaterra.com, 800-233-6011
5. SLEEPING BEAUTY
It’s called Cirrus bedding — and we think it’s quite heavenly, the way all that cotton is rippled and ruched into a ruffled passion. Comes in several colors including this soft green.
Cost: $198 for a queen duvet cover, $68 for a standard pair of shams, $48 each for the Euro size.
