midnight moods...

cocktail napkins created by ontario artist avril loreti.  we carry her designer chair series & wine rings...  a few more designs are in store - but we'll save those for another time.

yup...

bedspreads are back! simplifying your life - reducing the need for dust ruffles...  bella notte has a few gorgeous styles to chose from including whisper linen shown here in flax, under we have their quilted velvet coverlet in champagne.  pretty amazing!

also, our builder has done it... he's created the perfect mantle shelf
I love it but then it was my little nudge.

iron clad

though this is hardly an adequate photo, check out the newest creation from our resident table master.  reclaimed fir planks are perched securely atop repurposed pipes that form a pair of triangles at their crux. it's a really a beautiful statement of craftsmanship.  and, though it will comfortably seat eight, it's great for small spaces as the base of the table takes up very little visual space.  we're totally enamoured of it.

finishing pieces

consider us for...

smoke on the water: votivo candles

cooler evenings at the lake + roasted marshmallow's + sticky fingers + warm blankets
= long weekend memories

pandosy block party

we were handing out cinnamon sugar popcorn & cold drinks today.
thanks to all of our special shoppers for visiting (sorry if you missed it).
hope we thrilled you with our little treats.

coastal themes abound

all over the blogosphere in decor magazines and in our homes...
little bits of the sea & shore seem to take us away to favourite holidays.


we have an increased selection of soap pumps, waste bins and towels; apothecary jars to hold your sand and shell collections (or cotton ball and bath salt collections if that seems more appropriate); resin coral (we're not pilfering any reefs!) and metal coral tea lights to fill empty bathroom niches; a great selection of waffle cotton robes from short to long and light to heavy; aromatherapy dead sea salts from the burren perfumery and beautiful french soaps by pre de provence.
