Merci Southern Lady!!!!

We have been featured in Southern Lady!!!!!!

Along with Brenham's finest.......Here is a glimpse of our charming town, when it is not Antiques weeks when we are innundated.

Here we are lower left...... Know what they said about us?

"Venture into Beadboard UpCountry, and you'll feel like you've discovered a precious secret.  This high-end home and lifestyle store on the square-one of the country's ony purveyors of Arte Pura Linens from Italy-delivers luxury and sophistication in abundance with it's Beverly Hills- style storefront and exquisite offerings."

Being in a small town seeing these words in print validate our hard work and makes us feel very gratified.

So when you visit look at the gorgeousness of these B&B's, and the food rocks too..... All of these people are good cooks and The Ant Street Inn (not a B&B) has the best sheets.  We know because people that stay there come in and tell us.

Foodwise, great selection, Steaks, Texas Barbeque, home made Pies, great sandwiches and malts and Blue Bell Ice Cream which put us on the map.... Did you know that Blue Bell is sold in only one quarter of the US but sells one third of the ice cream in the US????????? I live here and I didn't know that!!!!

Culture??? How bout the world Class Round Top Festival Institute,

 or the Unity Theatre ?  Gardening Enthuiast?  The Antique Rose Emporium is for you.... All the wild "found" roses they have saved.

You can tour the Blue Bell Creamery, Stay downtown,

and just enjoy yourself.....

Not because they featured us but I went through the whole issue of Southern Lady, I was impressed they have lots of good things in there. I will subscribe......

Thanks to writer Kathleen Whatley and the beautiful photography by

John O'Hagan.

There are Throws......

And then there are throws by Arte Pura.

This the Visconte Throw by Arte Pura.  Size is incredible.

So is the detail.  Look at the stitching on this!  Organza over jersey in a geometric pattern with a little cashmere in the jersey (why not?)and..

A little mini ruffle separating the generous looped volante.

We ordered one for a customer and within 15 minutes after we unboxed it we had another order.........(we were checking it out, with her permission of course) I NEED one of these. Sigh......

32 colors......

Even though the Evento has been "the dress"

for side chairs for a year or two.....

It was the only one of it's kind...

So.. Daniella at Arte Pura designed a companion for Evento.

Introducing "GALA"!!!!!! Puckered Linen covered with Organza

and an adjustable linen skirt!!!!!!!

There is a "corset" in the back anchored by beautiful

parsemmentarie laced with organza and a huge

BOW in the back shown in the Perla Old color...
