Please contact me so these darling pups can be on their way to you!

 How exciting to have been officially opened for an entire year! I cannot thank you enough for all of your support. My customers have all come to me via my blog and then by recommendations and referrals. How do I say thanks for believing in me, liking my style and supporting what I do! I cannot tell you how much I enjoy the process, especially of helping people. I get excited when I am able to help them find a perfect gift, score the ideal pair of ginger jars, or helping someone put together a great new vignette for their home.

 I love running my little shop and can assure you, I am going to continue to improve and add beautiful things as I find them! This post is a celebration to mark the one year anniversary of my little online shop as well as a chance to say thank you for supporting me this past year!! There is much more to come and with your continued success and encouragement I will keep getting better and better!! Today is a little trivia post mixed in with some fun and then finally a giveaway announcement to celebrate! What's a celebration without a giveaway!

Ever curious as to my best selling item ever?  I cannot name one but here are the top five......in no particular order....

Here's my most popular pillow.......( a tie between these two)

And the best selling monogrammed item.........again a tie

 The wonderful cocktail napkins..also makes a fabulous and affordable gift

 And tell me who wouldn't flip receiving beautiful smelling monogrammed soaps!


Three of my personal favorite items that I think would make amazing Mothers day gifts are.....

The crystal hurricane candle collection with the most heavenly gardenia scent, when empty you have a beautiful crystal container or they can be refilled

 A stunning antiqued soup tureen.....just a beautiful piece for just about anywhere

This magnificent domed cake plate...love the old world etching (comes in three styles)


My favorite belljar lantern is...........

The tulip etched....the very ones I have in my own kitchen!


One item that I think makes an incredible and super affordable gift............monogrammed soaps. They are triple scented, come in a wonderful gift box and who doesn't want to receive a gorgeous box of milled guests soaps bearing their initials!

My most unusual and most special item is.........the pewter napkin rings

These are so incredibly special, I bet they might become a collectors item. The maker is such a talented man and he comes up with the most wonderful whimsical designs, love these!!

 A new item that I am super excited about........

All the beautiful new tabletop

The stunning new oven to table pieces

And have to say I really love these darling wicker bags!!

So how about you? Anything on my site excite you too? How would you like to win a beautiful silver tray!

 Well I am giving away a very special piece for my one  year anniversary!! This stunning new silver tray..one of my new silver items. I  love this tray, perfect for a bathroom as a vanity tray, or in a powder room to hold soaps and I could see it in the kitchen to elegantly hold your spices!

Say hello to the new kids in town.....and a giveaway!

 Hi there!! I love when I get new things  in that have me really excited! Tabletop and personal accessories...two of my most favorite things that I seem to not be able to get enough of (my husband will attest to this) Is there any thing more fun than setting a beautiful table? This addition was born out of my love for entertaining and setting pretty tables.... When I find a line that I not only love but is really well priced, the first thing that comes to mind is selling them in my online store. Hence how my tabletop section got started.

 It is just  the beginning and over time I will be adding on, but for now I am super thrilled to be introducing these fabulous serving pieces, gorgeous linens (think spring), and super chic serving dishes. Everything is of the highest quality and priced right... a winning combination! These are as of today up on my online store, click here to visit.
  LOVE these stunning classic salt and pepper shakers (very heavy, beautiful quality)

Margot salt and pepper shakers (heavy and beautiful quality) $45.00

Madeline salt and pepper shakers, heavy and beautiful quality $48.00

   Close up, just so elegant!!  Serving pieces...love these!!All three styles come in slotted spoon, salad serving set, serving spoon, spreaders, cake spade

 Large wicker serving spoon $16.00

Close up of handle

 Heavy acrylic clear salad set $28.00

 Wicker cake spade  $18.00

 Antler and silver serving spoon $18.00

 Antler and silver spreader (set of 4)  $35.00, all three handles are offered in the spreaders

These are the three handles offered.....

And how about these classic porcelain and wicker serving dishes! These are so great for the summer! Comes in 5 sizes...all soon to be added, very elegant way to dress up any table.....

This shape is so practical...for larger dishes like mains or a lasagne, and the smaller one for potatoes, or rice...love these! (removable wicker liner)

 

 Another oval med. ideal for sides

 Oval serving dish with wicker basket  $39.00 perfect for vegetables or any side dish

Another love for me is accessories, I am a definite girly girl. Love handbags, clothes, jewelry, beautiful bath products, you name it.......so this section, while not the focus of my shop is just another extension of me and what I love. Got these awesome spring/summer bags, wicker/rattan with fun leather trim and bamboo accents. How great are these? They look like a million dollars but are soo affordable. I think these are so  chic!! I cannot wait for the warm weather to arrive just so I can use these bags!! For now these will be under New arrivals, some are now listed as of today and more are being added  but they will soon be in their own little section entitled "Personal accessories"and you better believe I will have fun building on that! So take a look at these pretties.....click here for new arrivals.

The totes are only $75.00 the clutches are $60.00

Love the bamboo and top stitch detailing....

Each of the clutches comes with a gold chain if you want to use it over the shoulder.....

  And the best part about this post is that I am offering a giveaway!! I am offering up either your choice of  one salad serving set or a salt and pepper set to celebrate! One winner to be announced on Friday morning.
