Christmas Beadboard Style

Here she is our "Pixie Fairie" the good luck charm for the shop. Robes named her "Marais".
So now she is ours..........Happily adorning the window perched on the gorgeous Arte Italica Lucia candlelabra......She's happy...

She's in good company with the "Merletto Antique" lace adorned dinnerware from Arte Italica and the Veronica Flatware with the beads......Stemware is new Vittoria offered in Silver or Gold.


Christmas without Arte Pura????? NO Way! The little Portaoggetti Piccolo with Swarovski Crystal.


Candles from Pointe a la Ligne, France, in Eiffel Tower shapes and tapers in silver and pearl.




Bella Bianca dinnerware from Arte with the Giglio Flatware and a little white glass amaryllis vase.





Merletto Antique Pitcher, kind of reminds me of Astier.......






Mercury Glass finials with a ruffled Vapor bowl by Maureen Whelton a Vancouver designer.
Very Laliquish?


My whimsical table setting with the paint can votive holders and the paintbrush candles.... Dinnerware is Juliska Octavia with their new adorable "Boxwood and Bows" cocktail and salad plates... I love these for the xmas season and all year round.........Flatware is stainless by Ercuis France, in their Bali Pattern. Ercuis is not that well known in this country but they are silversmiths going back to the 1800's. Word has it their stainless will be on the new Cunard Ship the Normandie.


And of course there is no better party or hostess gift than a Bloem Box. Whatever bulb flower is depicted on top of the beautiful hatbox is the bulb, white pot and soil inside.... They grow beautifully we have carried for three years and have several happy customers that have emailed us pictures of theirs in full bloom.
This is the Stargazer Amaryllis red and white.


And the best good luck charm of all our Beadboard Gazing sheep with his Christmas red ribbon "bow tie". He's graced many a buffet table is this area..... A great addition to a country house......OR any house.

  3. Love all your holiday touches. Simply beautiful! how are you holding up with the season in full swing? On my end, quite a full plate with the showroom, end of year reviews...numbers..not the fun stuff, getting the house ready for family and friends to invade...but loving every minute of it (except the accounting part..)
