PUBLISHED!!








A petite pretty lady showed up enexpectedly at my store and we started having a friendly conversation that led to her coming over the next day to my home.
Jacqueline de Montravel, the editor of Romantic Homes magazine, together with Jickie Torres put together this wonderful article about my home and store in their current issue. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the outcome!
Jacqueline travels coast to coast, most recently meeting with Brooke over at Velvet and Linen
for an upcoming article in Romantic Homes.
Have a look - Don't you think she has done a great job of combining all these photos into a cohesive collage focusing in on the brown, blue, and coral colors shown both at home and at the store? And please notice my beloved whippet, Tigger. She would not budge from her blankie heaven on the sofa even for Romantic Homes magazine!

  1. Congratulations! How exciting! I had to laugh at myself because I read this article twice and did not make the connection to your blog! It's nice to see a fellow Long Islander get notice.

  16. Thanks to all the familiar bloggie buddies leaving messages. So encouraging to know you are all stopping by! Of course, I am quite horrified also that this is so out there as I look closely at the photos and see no flowers on the table, a pillow upside down, the horrific blanket for my dog, the mess on a desk, etc. But it is my home, not my shop and this is how I live!! I am glad you are all being kind and not mentioning any of this in your comments!
