We have a crop of cute new Hable Construction garden accessories in the shop, just in time for mother’s day! The sunhats in particular are selling out fast. I ordered one to keep the sun off my face this summer, trying to keep my 8 months pregnant self cool is going to be a challenge!
(canvas sunhat: $62)


Joanne put the belt and gloves to good use this weekend planting some ivy in our window boxes. We need something that can stand up to the intense afternoon sun that we enjoy everyday here in the shop and the ivy is perfect.


(gardening belt: $65, gardening gloves: $25)

Check out the sunhat on New York Magazine’s Mother’s Day Shop-a-Matic!

It’s 60 degrees today and sun is streaming in our shop window. Spring is here!

Joanne & I are unpacking spring merchandise and freshening up the store for the new season . We just got a bundle of Swedish recycled plastic mats in spring colors. We love these for beach houses, bathrooms, kitchens…


Porcelain pear bud vases to display your spring flowers. We just got these last week and they have been flying out. Only $15/each!

New summery John Derian pieces and Frances Palmers stunning pottery.

Hable frames and storage boxes for your spring cleaning & reorganizing.


New colors & patterns of reuseable nylon shopping bags for the farmers market.

Tea towels and aprons from Skinny Laminx in summer weeds, orla and bird patterns. $16/towel and $25/aprons. These are perfect hostess and mother’s day gifts!

I love this polished plaster lamp with linen shade. $295.

We are getting lots of great, new things in the next several weeks so stay tuned!

Our first women artists event was this past weekend and it was a big success! We had a great turn out and I had a fantastic day hanging out with these talented ladies. Thank you Frances, Llubav and Sarah! Here are some photos from the day:

Sarah+Llubav. Hot mamas!

Llubav’s felt lovlieness in our window. Sarah’s gorgeous cake & new cookbook (due out in June) are in the background.

Sarah’s divine golden chocolate/espresso cupcakes and earl grey tea cookies. They look perfect on Frances’ plates.

Frances’ pieces can display ring pillows too! Llubav designed the one with the large flower just for us. Call the shop to order.
