Hello pretty things blog! Has it really been almost two weeks? You have been sorely neglected… But I do have something lovely to make up for the absence.
I found the Carson & Co. site on Annechovie last week and I would just love to own one of their lamps. How gorgeous are these:
They also make beautiful furniture and accessories:
I’m sure I could find a spot for any one of these treasures.
Happy Monday!
I forgot – before I disappear for a week, I have to link to this Monday’s installment of Elle Decor’s picks for the top 25!
Have you seen Elle Decor’s “top 25”? I’m posting about them on Style Key West each week for the rest of the Summer (and possibly longer…). The next three are:
Stop by and let me know what you think of the list (or of these specific designers)!
And NOW I’ll see you next week!

Sorry about missing Thursday and Friday last week. Or did you even notice… Anyone there? Anyone?
Anyway – it’s been a little hectic with Oliver’s every day therapy (we’re currently in the middle of “two weeks on” – looking forward to “three weeks off”!), 24/7 summer days with the kids and preparing for my solo trip to NYC on Thursday (yeah!)…
So I feel like my life has been taken over by “making arrangements.” I’m going to take the rest of the week off here. Just so you know (again – if anyone is actually out there reading and not having my same – or a similar – summer…)
In the meantime, here are some lovely arrangements courtesy of friend and Etsy favorite, Anne Harwell:
CHINA
CHAIRS
QUOTES
And how cute would these notecards look in frames?
Have a great week!
Visit Annechovie to see more (Etsy shop HERE).
Ever since I picked up a Kate Spade bangle on Ebay (totally random green one I never thought I’d wear as often as I do), I’ve acquired a bit of a thing for enamel bangles.
And how cute are these Charlotte Moss bangles for Halcyon Days?
I don’t like to go TOO Lily Pulitzer with the pastel preppiness (I live in the DC area, which in certain circles can go a little overboard with this summer look) – but that pink one is so sweet.
Looks like I have a new Ebay search item…

How gorgeous are these designs in Liberty prints?

Remember when I agonized over the Rennes metallic silver market bag vs. the powder blue bucket bag?
Then time passed and the blue bucket was snapped up by someone else.
THEN I did a more thorough Etsy search for a good tote and found several other options (including that original metallic silver market bag).
Then more time passed and I was still unable to commit.
THEN I got an e-mail from Rennes saying that they were having a 20-50% off sale.
So guess what I bought?
Lessons learned:
1. You almost always end up buying the first thing you like.
2. You are sometimes rewarded for laziness.
3. Rennes is having a great sale right now – check it out!
Now I just wonder if it will arrive in time for BlogHer…
This time around, a couple of jewelry shops caught my eye.
First, Elephantine. I have a thing for delicate chains with simple little pendants.
Like this one:
I could wear that pretty much every day.
But another item really charmed me – a take on the best friends necklace from middle schools past:
Might have to keep both for myself though…
Another shop was Pradman Jewelry.
I would LOVE to buy one of these:
I have a serious thing for monograms…
I also want one of these rings:
Prehnite and Moonstone (a combo)
Chrysoprase (single)
How about you? Do you have any favorite Etsy shops that recently resurfaced?
I can’t remember where I found this link… But Swanson Vineyards has the most creative, charming website I’ve ever seen. Wine, family owned businesses, wine, chic in the know people, wine… It’s all there and wrapped up in the prettiest package of THIS!
Can you believe I’ve never been to Napa? We’ve been meaning to go for years, but then the kids came and…well, maybe in a few more years. It’s a little dream of mine – love the attainable ones, don’t you?
Visit Swanson Vineyards HERE, as well as their fantastic blog about Napa: Alexis’ Napa.
And speaking of wine – I’m part of a group called The Clever Girls 1000 and we’re currently launching The Clever Girl’s Wine Club. I’ll be announcing discounts on wines as they are released (every two to four weeks) and will try to post reviews as well. Check out the current listings and let me know what you think. I’m placing my own order now…
