with the upcoming holidays we have a few things on our mind.

travel + visitors.
we love to give the home a fresh look for the holidays and sometimes that includes
a clean new look for the guest room that will welcome family from afar. let us help you with
some new winter bedding, elegant dishware, or perhaps the perfect hostess gift
you’ll be needing at the next get together!
we know many of you find yourself traveling and hopefully vacationing soon as well.
don’t forget to check out our gorgeous apparel for a snazzy new look to go with your travels!
one of our best gals in the shop recently went to Hawaii and is shared her travel experience
with us. do enjoy and come see us soon!

on her recent visit to Kau’i Kim had a amazing visit and some breathtaking adventures.

here are her bits of advice.
Hawaii essentials:
-bedroom fans
-lavande mosquito spray (sold at the willows)
-sunscreen
-benadryl anti-itch cream
-a fancy cocktail in hand
She highly recommends snorkeling on Tunnels Beach, hiking for some unreal views and rainbow
sightings, staying close to the beach, and riding in a helicopter for even more stunning views of the
landscape.
Thanks for sharing Kim!!

with the season of entertaining upon us we cant help but gush a bit about some of our favorite serving pieces. gorgeous white ceramics in perfectly imperfect shapes are at the top of our list.

we personally love the montes doggett line for the whimsical
shapes and the story they hold. the artist, monica porter, bases her art on her
passion for making a table lovely…set with grace and style just as her mother did.
the italian vietri line is another of our faves to fill with all of your
holiday dishes. if you are in need of something new to set that wow factor
come in and let us help you set your table!!
pre-order some holiday dishes and you will be entered to win a gift!

We recently had the pleasure of hosting a lovely wedding shower for Susan’s daughter and bride to be.

A beach house setting, wrapped sandwiches, chilled gazpacho, champagne and lots of laughs.
Now we are sending our Susan off to Spain for the wedding!
In the meantime all design questions will have to be on hold while she is away.
Enjoy some sangria for us!!
We wish Adam and Brie (the couple to be) many happy years and blessings on their marriage!!

here are some tid bits of the treasures we’ve come upon so far…look forward to seeing some of these back in the shop soon!

do you just adore these antique french confit jars? such gorgeous statement pieces! and we are thinking the cabinet would make the most stunning kitchen built-in filled with white dishes of course!

we could not get enough of the variety of eye dropping windows, shutters and doors set is this open field.

and how about these silly garden gnomes to grace your garden?

looking forward to getting back…has it cooled down yet?
maybe we will just keep truckin until fall arrives…hehehe.

over the weekend we had a charming birthday celebration for my youngest son Alex. we do love a good dinner party and birthdays are a great reason to plan one. the meal was set with four courses and wine was perfectly paired with the help of my husband gathering some advice from the local sommelier. i highly recommend doing so if you are having a dinner party and aren’t sure what wines would go well. it was such a treat!
our place settings were also set with fun questions concerning the birthday boy…such as ‘how would he define his personal style?’ and ‘what is your favorite memory of him?’ which all made for some rather good laughs.
