Louisville-based Jacqui Van Ham takes vintage Mason jars and creates cool pendant light fixtures and soap dispensers with an industrial/farmhouse look. And inspired by a trip to the Maker’s Mark distillery in Loretto, Ky., the artist put together this fabulous bourbon-bottle chandelier that would dress up any room. “The rusted steel barrel rings, charred oak staves, bottles and signature wax all were sourced from the distillery,” says Van Ham at her VanVintageDesign store at Etsy.

The Neiman Marcus Christmas Book has arrived, chock-full of the ultimate in luxury gifts. Topping this year’s pricey list is an Icon A5 Sports Aircraft and pilot training for two with a price tag of $250,000.
A Kentucky-related package is in the mix too. The Maker’s Mark Master Distiller Experience includes participation in the bourbon-making process, golden bottles etched with your likeness and dipped in gold wax, accommodations in Louisville and a gourmet dinner hosted by Bill Samuels Jr. All for $7,5000.
Definitely one of the kookiest offerings is a cupcake car (above, $25,000) with matching confectionary cap. The motorized pastries reach top speeds of 7 mph.

While I grew up in small-town Kentucky I’ve always been fascinated with the cosmopolitan world of high fashion. On the other hand, I love a bargain and the thrill of shopping for just the right piece.
I have a degree in English from the University of Kentucky, and since 2002 I’ve written a column for the Lexington Herald-Leader about shopping, beauty and fashion. During that time I’ve interviewed everyone from designers to boutique owners about trends and style. And I’m still forever searching for the next big sale.
