ahh, the wind chime. i was lovingly raised by hippies, which meant it was wind-chimes-a-go-go in our zen-like homestead.

chimes rang throughout our garden, on the back porch, and from the trees. they were the soundtrack of my childhood.

admittedly, as an adult, i have forgone wind chimes in our home. however, ladies and gentlemen studio makes these gorgeous, mid-century styled chimes which incorporate various shapes, textures, metals, and glazes, and i must admit -- i like 'em!

i may be forced to unleashing my inner hippie and purchase one of these, kittens.

cue the incense.
