we are setting up our booth for the NYGF, which starts on Sunday. This will be like our 100th or so booth we have created over the last 17 years. I really like the juxtaposition of the mural, lights and the black tape! More pics to come.

Well here we are in all our glory (except for me, for obvious reasons ) enjoying a great meal and wonderful time at The Green Table. We really had a good evening, it was so nice to have everyone at the same table at the same time! Thank you to all the staff, you ROCK!

Every year Douglas and I take the staff for an annual dinner, this usually happens in January as we are in retail and December is out of the question. Last year we kept it in the family and dined at ABC Kitchen { which, by the way is fantastic }, so this year we are keeping with the farm to table theme and are heading over to Chelsea Market and The Green Table tonight. Looking forward to seeing

I know this card was sent in 2009 but it is perfect for 2012~ The card was hand painted by jeweler Jeanine Payer, to show thanks for our commitment to her line throughout the years. It's simple, beautiful and sentimental, all of the wonderful things we need more of in our lives and that we are committed to in 2012! Happy New Year  and simple pleasures to all!

that even in the high priced hood of Brooklyn Heights a little bit of that old Idaho, no need to "fancy it up" attitude lives on. I am not being funny here, I really like that  not everything has to be scrubbed and shiny to be loved.

yesterday at the shop in Grand Central a lovely woman purchased this bedside decanter for her husband, its their anniversary. Then she told us this wonderful story of why. You see they were engaged at the Natural History Museum in NYC under the great Whale... When she was a young girl her father asked her when she thought she would get married and she said NEVER, then he asked her when she

in 2012! We received these wonderful calendars by Jacqueline Schmidt and they are flying off the shelves. The theme is fauna that mate for life, what could be a more heartfelt sentiment than that. Jac's illustrations are beautiful, she even makes a termite look sweet and loving. Get one now as they are very limited.

My favorite is this Frutti De Mare design, I really want one to sit beside my bed but I think I'd fill it with Vodka!

you bet! Here are the birch poles and winterberry in their new incarnation for the fall and winter decor of Amagansett. We have really high ceilings and hanging things have been a staple since we opened. Once Holiday has arrived the forests will come alive with forest animals themed ornaments and wonderful old school garlands... I can hardly wait to show you the complete look.

is never done! We took a trip out to Amagansett on Sunday to start the Holiday transformation. Last week we took a little jaunt to the flower district and bought a bunch of Birch poles and these wonderful winter berries. The poles were 9 feet long and had to be tied to the roof of our car and then once home chopped down to fit into the car for the long drive out east. Luckily there was a crew

well not quite~ Shopping runs in the family, as you can see even Noodle loves to window shop. We took a mini vacation to visit friends in Austin so we road-tripped our way to Marfa. We had a wonderful time and I'd say the highlight was driving to see the Prada Marfa shop built in 2005 by Elmgreen and Dragset. It's quite the commentary on shopping and luxury, you see it's sealed up and will

My family is one of craft, everyone does something creative in their spare time, as you can see by this newspaper clipping from a few years back, my Grandma was the creative force behind us all. Up until the last few months of her life she crocheted everyday and most days, all day. Everything was given away to anyone who needed or wanted something made, her very last project was making

But never boring! Well I never thought that I'd be driving into an oncoming hurricane to have a crew screw plywood over all of the shops windows and doors, but that's what you get when you own your own business. Thank goodness we survived almost unscathed ( we lost a gutter and little roof ) but the most damaging is the loss of business :( We still don't have power and there is no end in sight.

no but grey none the less. A friend of mine ( Jane Dagmi ) asked via facebook, if anyone had rooms decorated with grey/ gray and was like "yes" my entire life including all three shops. I am a BIG believer in this color! Above is a corner of our living room in spring light.. grey, gray and more of it~

Hopefully this little beauty will be on it's way to a new home this week.
