Katy Kelleher has spent much of her life chasing beauty. As a child, she uprooted handfuls of purple, fragrant little flowers from the earth, plucked iridescent seashells from the beach, and dug for turquoise stones in her backyard. As a teenager she applied glittery shimmer to her eyelids after religiously dabbing on her signature scent of orange blossoms and jasmine. And as an adult, she coveted gleaming marble countertops and delicate porcelain to beautify her home. This obsession with beauty led her to become a home, garden, and design writer, where she studied how beautiful things are mined, grown, made, and enhanced. In researching these objects, Kelleher concluded that most of us are blind to the true cost of our desires. Because whenever you find something unbearably beautiful, look closer, and you’ll inevitably find a shadow of decay lurking underneath.
In these dazzling and deeply researched essays, Katy Kelleher blends science, history, and memoir to uncover the dark underbellies of our favorite goods. She reveals the crush

You won’t be disappointed!
Color: Brown, Size: 50"x60", Color: Brown, Size: 50"x60"
Absolutely LOVE this fur throw! This is the 50x60 Brown. It is a gorgeous thick luxurious fur throw. I couldn’t wait to get it out of its bag and I wasn’t disappointed! The colors are exactly what I was wanting. A dark brown with the added black. It is so soft and the fur has a long pile. Has a perfect weight to it. Makes a great cozy throw for Winter nights. It’s everything I thought it would be and more. Worth every penny! I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed!

A warm hug from this fantastic blanket!
Color: Cream, Size: Throw(50" X 60")
This is my go to blanket when I want to cozy up on the couch. So soft and warm, it’s like snuggling a hug! Washes well and lasts forever years. I replaced mine after 4 years with the same thing in a different color option! Perfect size to cover up and also a nice accent piece on the back of the couch.

In Awe
Color: Tie-dye Taupe, Size: Throw(50" X 60")
this is one of my favorite blankets I’ve ever ordered from Amazon! We use it on our couch. The colors are absolutely beautiful and stunning. It looks very earthy and kind of grounds my living room decor. It is very soft and cozy as well so it serves as many functions in my room! Probably will order another one soon for the other chair. The quality is superb.
