What a whimsical beautiful entryway.

TURKISH T: TOWEL TIME

The new Beach Candy stripe is a good all around travel scarf

Candy colors and a variety of patterns make Turkish T Fouta Hamam towels a great gift. Use them as a sarong, beach towel, picnic blanket, bedspread, tablecloth, the options go on and on.
Sue Joyce took a basic towel, traditionally used in Turkish Baths, and made it fresh and exciting in juicy colors and stripes. Incredibly soft hand-loomed 100% Turkish cotton dries quickly and gets better with age, just be sure to wash in cool water, and machine dry on low heat. This soon to be summer staple will be a piece you always take with you to the beach. Visit Betsy Wills and Sue Joyce at The Javits, Booth 7877!

The Basic Breeze has a wide banded stripe and richly colored ground field.

There are also earthy colors.

The Basic Bath towel is sarong friendly.

The Soft Bath is available in small runs. I like the wider striped banding for its nautical style.

Lilacs..

 

Wishing you a wonderful Monday morning!  With another busy week ahead we have to start out optimistic!!!

FLOWER POWER: TOMMY MITCHELL'S TOLE BOTANICALS

Delicate petals made of metal form the tole botanicals from Tommy Mitchell. I have shown his designs before here, and you may have seen them at Bergdorf Goodman or Mary Mahoney in Palm Beach. At his inaugural gift show, see his potted flower creations on display. I hope this will mean you will see his flowers in many more wonderful stores. Placed on gilded brackets against a silver and white bamboo patterned wallpaper, the varied assortment of blooms including lily of the valley, thistle, auricula, hyacinth and orchid plants. He can do custom vases and pieces, just ask. Swing by and see his flowers at Pier 94 booth 44045. They are the perfect antidote to winter.

Blooms in a new metallic finish gleam in silver and gold painted creations.

Mitchell has garnered a loyal following for his pastel florals.


Create a totally different look with pots that range from mercury glass to woven metals.

Terra cotta planters have a rustic simplicity to them.

Lost in Arles...

 

A few weeks back I was feeling a little out of sorts.. a little lost at the beginning of the year, it always seems like a time when you should be overly motivated, ready to run out of the gates and get some things really taken care of, make changes and plan for the year ahead.  Well, I was in a total funk and kinda bummed out.  On a Sunday morning I had a chance to take a little time to myself and was wandering around in the land of the blogs, I came across Lost in Arles a blog written by Heather,  I spent well over an hour reading her posts and looking through her beautiful photos.   I finally felt like myself, I felt inspired and awake for the first time in what seemed like a month (the holidays really took a lot out of me this year).  I am ready to go, ready to be inspired, ready to travel and ready to take on the challenges of the year ahead.   Maybe I will visit France in the Fall this year, I know I will be working on stream lining my time and energy into projects that I really want and need to do, and maybe just maybe I will be taking a few more leaps of faith this year.

I wanted to thank Heather and thank all of the bloggers that take their time posting so many fantastic images and inspiration!

LA Mart discoveries...

 

We headed up to LA for a quick day at the Mart last weekend and found a lot of fun goodies!  I feel in love with the new lamps from Jamie Young.  The glass pieces are amazing!  I want the lamps in the first picture, I just love the color and texture..

 

Eloquence is always one of my favorites and they had a new larger showroom which was so nice to see everything together.  (note: my Vespa is still available)

 

We headed upstairs to Bassman Blaine a great way to see some of my favorite lines in one place.  That art is perfect for a job I am working on!  This is just a little peek.  I know it is not the same as going to New York or Atlanta (they are on my list for later this year) but it still does inspire!
