What girlie-girl hasn't picked the perfect spot in her home for a glittering crystal chandelier, dreaming that this acquisition will immediately make her and her home wonderfully posh? But what girlie-girl can really afford to drop the big bucks on one?Save your money for something else! A sweet chandelier to ooh and aah over doesn't have to be confined to your wish list any more. Though it might not light up, the Chandelier mobile by Los Angeles-based Ige Designs still has a big impact on decor. Pretty, interesting and definitely unique, the mobile is made out of sturdy museum board, laser cut for precision and clean, crisp edges. It's perfect for hanging on the wall or dangling from the ceiling. The mobile comes in a fun DIY kit: assembly is nothing more than following instructions, tying string and making knots. Perfect if you're aiming for more Princess and less Suzy Homemaker.
$95, available in cream and black. Available at the Cross, Vancouver (604-689-2900,
