A touch of bamboo

(Juliska bamboo Flatware)

I've had so much fun setting up the Juliska Bamboo dinnerware and mixing it in with our original Juliska pieces. An easy way to mix it in with your existing China is add in the bamboo charger which can also be used as a serving plate. The mugs and salad/dessert plates are also fun side dishes to incorporate the bamboo flair.

How lovely!

Our custom monogrammed travel bags and jewelry rounds just came in and are even more quality and beautiful than I remembered! The jewelry rounds are my favorite. They are padded and the larger size has small pockets for earrings, rings, and small necklaces, and a larger pouch in the middle. These are seriously the best graduation, bridal, or bridesmaid gift EVER! I think I need one myself!

There are plenty more fabrics to choose from (slightly overwhelming for the indecisive!) and take about 4 weeks until they arrive!

Wrap it Up!

Just got in these super cute pom-pom scarves. Should help liven up your Winter wardrobe a bit... and go into Spring! $28.

Tie-dyed

I've always liked tiedye because of the pretty colors and different patterns. Now you can tie up your hair in these fun tie-dye hairties!

Breathless Paper Co

It is no surprise that this fun and witty couple is able to whip up such cute little greeting cards.


Oh, and they are fellow Georgian's! Cards, $3.25 each.

jewelry + a photo shoot

(neclace worn long)

(same necklace worn short!)

So how did you like my little photo shoot:) These stunning jewels arrived this morning and I have had way too much fun trying it on. I especially love the crystal necklaces that can be worn long or doubled to be short. How great is that?!

Back to the weekend... hope you are enjoying it!

By the way, I am working on my photography skills for my website, which should be up and running early this spring. You will now be able to make wish lists and shop online. Will keep you posted!

Just look at that!

(Isn't this little trio of fig vases just TOO CUTE?! Just look at it!)

We all know that I love bud vases because they are do-able (as far as arranging, that is!). And surely you have noticed that I love all things gold. By the way, I did hear that rose gold is in this year. Is that true?? Speaking of, I have some beautiful jewelry arriving any day from a girl in Atlanta. A fellow Seminole! You must see it! It looks very "J. Crew" to me and is a little more jeweled and girly than some of the jewelry I have carried so far.

Have a great weekend and I will keep you posted on our latest shipments.

Simple Sweet!

I am a little ahead of myself.... these haven't actually arrived yet, but I saw them billed on our credit card which means they will be here any day. I just had to share! I think these cosmetic/travel bags and round jewelry cases are so classic and are perfect gifts for bridesmaids, graduates, sweet 16, etc. What do you think?

Here's how it works:

- First, you pick your bag shape and size

- Next, choose your fabric for the exterior from our swatches (satins, moire pique, toile, seersucker, and gingham)

- Then, your coordinating fabric for your monogram or motif and the trim

- And lastly, you decide between the monogram and motif (bowknot, greek key, and shell) options.

Since each piece is made to order, you should allow 4 weeks for shipping.

Wedding and graduation season is up next...

just around the corner...

Have I ever mentioned that I just love Valentine's Day? ( Probably because it is one of the three "candy holidays"!) Growing up we would leave a basket of Valentine's for the family at the front door, ring the doorbell and run away. I guess they were supposed to be from a little cupid, but I always knew who the Tic-Tac's came from (Charles!).

Take it from a cupid, you're sure to please any girl with the Valentine treats:

Rock On...

We just got back from Market and we have so many new lines coming in that I am sooo excited about! If you are AT ALL interested in fun bedding, entertaining, monogramming, classics, and accessories, then you'll love to see what we have coming in !! Until then, I am still really loving these New Arcadia rocks glasses... especially for Spring entertaining, which (thankfully) is just around the corner!

skip the chocolates...

...and pick out a cute and comfortable eberjey chemise this Valentine's Day!

A Snowfall Kind of Love

I Hope you are enjoying this wonderful time of the year! We've been spending our evenings by the fire, wrapped up in blankets, drinking hot chocolate and listening to Christmas music. Don't be jealous, the rest of our day is totally hectic and by 5:30 I am ready for pajamas and my fluffy robe!
I found this song over on Rikshaw's blog. Enjoy!
