To celebrate my 60th birthday, we traveled to London and stayed at the charming Knightsbridge Hotel by Kit Kemp. Come inside two of her beautiful Firmdale Hotels, explore the colorful interiors, and see why I'm completely obsessed with her fearless approach to decorating.

In 1990, I sent out my first holiday card with a photo of 8 month old Hillary. Brookes joined in a couple years later, and then Jonathan joined the gang in 1996. Back in the day, I would take my own photos - a whole roll of film - to one hour photo, choose the best one, and assemble cards with ribbons. I loved the planning and executing of the project and looked forward to it every year. Here are a few!

This year feels like the perfect moment for a little sparkle — and a rare shop-wide sale! For one day only, enjoy 20% off any order over $250 during our Cyber Monday celebration. Treat yourself to that aptware tureen, start a Museum Bee collection, or finally say yes to the matchstriker you’ve been eyeing. Even our beloved paper crowns are back in sets of four and a few special singles.

Does each month go faster than the last, or is it me? How is it almost November?

I am ready for the holidays! I have planned a holiday card for the first time in over a decade and I couldn’t be happier about it. I am prepping for a busy holiday at The French Tangerine! I have a full page ad in Flower Magazine and hoping this will remind everyone of the Czech Christmas trees featured last December in The Wall Street Journal. I sold out last year, but am better prepared this season.

Finally had a little photo shoot to highlight the new Intaglio | Cameo Dinner and Cocktail Napkins! I call them intaglios, and Lily at Elizabeth Lake calls them cameos… Either way, I’m very obsessed with them!

Lucie’s ceramic shells are back—and flying off the shelves! This post dives into all the latest from the shop: dreamy new ceramic leaves, tiger vases from Dee Barnes, terracotta treasures by Lisa Sandner, bee-embroidered linens from Elizabeth Lake, and vibrant color-filled pieces by Nicholas Newcomb. Plus, we give you a peek at what’s coming next… Christmas in July with over 100 Czech trees! Dive in for all the beautiful updates.

I had the joy of attending a beautiful pop-up today, hosted by one of my dearest friends in her newly redesigned home—an incredible transformation by Studio Eckstrom. The Loft at Remlo Studios created a truly special shopping experience, with a portion of proceeds benefitting the Lauritzen Gardens Antique & Design Show. Bonus fun? This is the very same home featured in my 2014 Inspired Home post. What a glow-up!

With no schedule or timeline, I surprise and delight with an unexpected delivery of shells, just like the ocean! Really, it’s Lucie who gets the credit, and I am just lucky enough to share the excitement!
