spring fever ... literally!

well, yes we have spring fever this week as the sun peeks out a bit more strongly every day ... unfortunately, I have been battling fever off and on as well ... struck with one of those end of season bugs you just can't seem to get rid of.

but ... we're assembling some lovely things for our spring reopening ... new kitchen textiles ... a line of artisanal soaps and body treats which are completely organic and scented with essential oils ... a new line of women's wear in summer drenched colors to get your spirits lifted and beach imaginations flowing ... and other little items here and there.

now, if I can just kick this bug so I can get cracking on the furniture pieces, we just might be set for April!

à bientôt, and more details to come as the goodies arrive!

take a peek ...

we've got some very special vintage collections in the shop now ... we'll be featuring a few from time to time, on the blog, as we bring them into the boutique.

Its funny how certain colors or items seem to attract mates to form a collection. For example, imagine your pretty fall table graced with a few of these very pretty pieces in blue and wine tones. There are some special transferware plates and old pitchers, vases and coffee servers ... which can be used as they were meant (serving coffee!) or to hold flowers as a centerpiece. Either way, a pretty touch for a fall dinner party.

Elle Décor shared a feature on collecting tea and coffee pots just this month ... we've done the hard work for you (scouring about to find them) ... so stop by and see what's here!

Renovated Furniture!

We have begun offering selected pieces of furniture for sale. We seek out old furniture items for repurposing. Refinished furniture presents a form of recycling. When you choose to incorporate a renovated furniture piece instead of new, you are supporting sustainability.

Here are some examples of what we have created ... we have more in store for the future!
