Nature’s creations are the ultimate Art
that fills our hearts with joy, warms our
souls with promise and fuels our spirits
with desire. My true inspiration to
reflect this beauty is what my Art is all about.”
- Michael Michaud

Artist Michael Michaud, designer of the Silver Seasons jewelry collection, combined his love of nature and exceptional knowledge of precious metal casting and model making to create wonderful giftware and tabletop items.
Table Art is truly a collaboration of creative and design talents.
Combining his love of nature and exceptional knowledge of precious metal casting and model making, Michael Michaud has created wonderful tabletop and giftware items. His exquisite use of layering colors of gold, silver and copper on bronze and pewter, give the Table Art collection an elegant and unique look all its own.
Michael Michaud explores the same sensitivity with nature in his Table Art pieces as he does in his Silver Seasons jewelry collection. The ability to expand nature’s creations in various mediums has added to the successful growth of the Table Art division.
Michael Michaud is a highly respected artist. He blends an exceptional items making skill with his true appreciation for nature including flowers, fruits, plants, berries, leaves and sealife.

The base metal used throughout the collection is primarily pewter in either its natural coloration or, gold plated. Other metals used are sterling silver and brass. Freshwater pearls, glass beads and semi precious stones are used on certain designs within the collection.
Michael Michaud’s napkin rings, sugar and creamer sets, serving spoons, vases and miniature boxes look like they’ve tumbled out of a fairy tale. Each piece of this botanical tableware collection is crafted from a branch, leaf or fruit. Molten pewter is poured into a lost wax mold, a wash of silver or gold over copper is applied, and the results are astonishing. Variations occur in each piece. All pieces are lead free and food safe.

What do you get when a former beauty and bath product junkie becomes fed up with the massive of unused products in her drawer? The answer is Bella IL Fiore, a creative, wearable cosmetic and personal care line, founded by Jennifer Maloy that simplifies your daily routine down to a few key items while maintaining glamorous effects.

In 2000 Maloy and her rocker husband Zac were expecting their first child, and both agreed they wanted to be full time parents. that was when the beauty diva, turned to the growing inventory of random products in her bathroom, and decided to take matters in her own hands. “You name it, and I had it in my bathroom: lotions, potions, scrubs, lip sticks, all unused,” says Maloy. She sought out a chemist who understood her concept, and could help to create her independent beauty vision. A year later Bella Il Fiore was born and won the hearts (and cosmetic bags) of real women and celebrities alike. Hollywood A-listers Amber Valletta, Amy Smart, and Isla Fisher are all fans of Bella’s products.

“Simplicity doesn’t mean sacrificing glamour and quality.” It’s quite the opposite with Bella Beauty. The super-fem line is consistently praised for its rich color formulations, exceptional ingredients and clever packaging. After nearly six years, the Bella collections has grown to include a smattering of must-have beauty essentials such as Kiss Me Now Lip Gloss, Eye Treats, which feature five flattering shadows that will look from day-to-night (a staple for the busy girl) and the jet-setting Travel Face Pallets. Much-loved favorites; Roller Ball Eye Shadows and the luxe Honeysuckle Grapefruit Whipped Body Creme are still available and better than ever. Each product serves up a serious dose of glamour wrapped in over-the-top girly packaging that is portable, user-friendly and fun. That’s the Bella way: simple, easy-to-use glamour that fits chicly in your clutch, cosmetic bag, and life.

Today Bella Il Fiore’s ever expanding line of skin care and cosmetics is sold in fashion-forward boutiques and fine department stores nationwide, including Kitson, Henri Bendel, Marie Mason Apothecary, Ritz Carlton and MyGiftee.com, and has been praised in some of today,s ‘must-read’ glossies including O The Oprah Magazine, Allure, Lucky, Coastal Living and Cosmopolitan.

No Cosmetic collection is complete without Bella.
