Why is it that adults are supposed to have outgrown colorful, grin-inducing decor? Robert Mahar’s items always raise that question.

His new Sunshine Swag embodies the issue: it’s a kid-directed item that adults surely will co-opt for themselves. Why? Because this pretty paper garland will add cheer wherever you hang it. (Perhaps wherever you sit to pay bills?)

Each 8- to 9-foot garland is composed of dozens of die-cut paper hearts, circles and flowers. They’re hand-sewn in Mahar’s Santa Monica studio, with grosgrain ribbon loops on both ends for easy hanging. Packaged in brightly colored paper bags that are sewn shut, these also make a great ready-to-go gift for only $12.95. Of course, you can hang it in the kids’ room, too.

Order from Mahar Drygoods online shop, or call (310) 560-0343.
