Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Ryan and I spent a few wonderful days in Maine with my family and we wanted to share some Polaroids from our trip.

A Fantastic Candy Shop in Ogunquit, Maine

I bought some lovely antique brass frames in this shop.

My sisters and me in a tacky Christmas store. But I do love a little Tacky around the Holidays!

Our whole family at the always delicious Street & Co.

We are refreshed from our time spent in Maine's Great Outdoors and ready for the Holiday rush. Call or email us for help placing your Holiday gift orders.

Friday Goodness...Yum!

Time to share our Behind the Bar column on Design*Sponge. We must have had one too many "Drunken Seaman" because we forgot to post about it last Friday: )

We featured a drink by Nancy Neil, who I went to photography school with, and she shot it all by candlelight! Enjoy your weekend with a little "Drunken Seaman."

Travel Style - Area Bedding!

This Holiday Season be the envy of air travelers the world-wide with the stylish and luxurious Area bedding Travel Set. With a 40" x 60" cotton blanket and 15" x 11" pillow (with down insert) it sure beats the scratchy blankets that are becoming increasingly rare on flights these days. Use the included cotton bag to store and transport the set when not in use.

Happy weekend - R & A

Watch Out!

It no longer has to be a freckle past a hair with these new watches by Uniform Wares. They are available for pre-order so scoop one up before they are gone!
Ryan has already ordered himself the 200 Series in rose gold and brown and is anxiously awaiting its arrival.

Hope you're having a great Thursday!

Nick Munro Trombone Series

Today we introduced some amazing barware pieces from UK designer Nick Munro. Nick finds inspiration in the most peculiar places (1930's bicycle pump, a tropical fish he encountered in a night club in NY, a window winder, etc) and the Trombone Barware collection is no exception. This collection was inspired by the beauty and detail of the brass instruments & the sound and atmosphere at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in London. Entertain in style this holiday season with a some 'jazzy' new barware.

Happy Halloween

Halloween, Jeff Parker. October 1980's. College Station, TX

I found this great old photograph of my Uncle Jeff when I was going through old boxes yesterday. Each year he would get out his coffin (no idea where he got it), position it in the local mall and hide himself inside to scare unsuspecting children - he really knew how to embrace the spirit of the holiday.

Today we went trick-or-treating with our niece and nephew (they dressed as Dora the Explorer and a Cow, respectively) and I may have eaten way too many KitKats. Now it is time to take down our Halloween decorations and start thinking about Thanksgiving. I think this carving set, hand made in the Italian country-side, would be great for Thanksgiving Dinner.
