This is my first blog of the New Year! I took a much needed break from the bustle and feel rejuvenated. Reports from the Atlanta trade show were good. Buyers are ready for a fresh look–I know Donald and I are. We're off to New York again to find more of the best of everything, at any price–$10 to $10,000. We already have ideas about color, texture, and the best fresh gifts. Stay tuned for updates on the blog and
Twitter.
In the meantime, take advantage of these last steals on sale...
Fellow Italophiles... some changes in international distribution coupled with a falling Dollar against the Euro resulted in this Italian icon becoming a hard find in the States. The last of the Egizia we have on hand are these
Gelato Bowls. They've been one of my favorite things in the store & I hate to see them on sale. You can only buy them if you're a die-hard gelato fan like me! In that case, please send me a recipe...maybe something strawberry?
I also spotted this
felt egg-carton on the sale table. If clutter gives you the creeps, you'll want to steal this up for
$20. It makes fruit on your island into a healthy-chic centerpiece, and it gives paper clips and change a much-needed home in your catch-all space.

...and my last tip... My favorite. There may be a Freudian reason for this being at the bottom...maybe you won't scroll down this far...
A confession - I'm a cashmere junkie. I found out I was allergic to wool and did a little happy dance. My husband just shook his head and said, "Of course you are." Donald has put these timeless jewels on sale. I'm biting my lip, but it's his call...
If you bundle up near my fire-pit at home, you'll be wrapped in these cashmeres.
Maison Claire cashmeres are from a mother and daughter team outside of Milan who employ the same factory as Loro Piana. In fact, we order the most divine cashmere bed sheets from them for a select few. Fellow cashmere junkies, you'll love this deal...
