The Art of French Style: Traveling in the South of France

Traveling in the South of France

 We visited a lovely place in the South of France - from where we import a lot of the exquisite products for the store.  Check out the great table linens and the vintage (circa 1800) bed linens!

We love the bright yellows and the beautiful oak.  They both work so well with real limestone floors and walls.  
The living room furniture is in neutrals from Eichholtz in Holland and is made of 100% linen.  We particularly love the tufted coffee table and sofa.

Garnier Thiebault - create a festive table with no worries for spills

If you re going to buy the best table linens this year for your entertaining, you want them to last a lifetime.  What better than the exquisite jacquard woven cotton from JacKryn France and Garnier Thiebault that is teflon treated to avoid marks and spills.  Red wine?  Bring it ON !

Holiday Floral Workshops were a great success!

We will certainly run them again next year.  The Floral designer, Joan Martin, was fantastic and taught us all new tricks for a beautiful holiday topiary or centerpiece.  Everyone had a great time and got to take home their creations..    Thanks to Joan and Happy Holidays to all.

Get Your Bling On!

I know it is just this time of year, but as the glittery ornaments come out so does all of our Bling.  We tried to concentrate in French Decor and Accessories but our customers keep asking for the colourful jewels that we bring in from all over the world. 

Just like an elegantly layered table setting, the hottest trend is to layer up your bling.  Especially easy with the wide range of bracelets available. 

We are now in NYC chosing additional to the already great collection launched in the store a few weeks ago... Get your Bling ON!

Holiday Style - What's yours?

The place to start this year is with the colour that you had last year.  It takes a while to build the perfect holiday decor (unless you can throw a lot of money at it in one stop!).  So if you had silver last year, add purple or hot pink to give your decor a trendy hit.  

 

If you are a gold fan, add browns and bronzes.... or better yet .. add the new RED.  The new red is a deep, blue/red with lots of depth.  It looks awesome with both silver and gold. 

Look out for the latest Smash Silver Glam.  Each ornament has a jewel on it. A real statement for those that like to be a little different this year!.
