Hello! Hope you had a great weekend…..it really is so hard to believe July 4th has come and gone. Though our big Maine plans not working out was a big disappointment, getting to the Hamptons hardly felt like a consolation prize:) That said in anticipation of Maine, I had my lobster bib ready and envisioned lazy bike rides along the shore, kayak trips with picnic lunches packed,etc…you get the idea. Oh well…..now we are trying to work it out possibly for later in the summer, we will see.
When it comes to kids (teens and beyond so if you have little ones ENJOY being in charge now)…..seems it’s always a crapshoot until you are actually en route to where you want to go! Until we are on a plane or in a car together, that’s when I can sit back close my eyes and say “victory at last” 🙂 Moving along…………Today’s post is a random post, kind of all over the place, a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Hope your week is off to a great start…….
Hamptons. Lucky enough to live close enough to go almost as often as I am craving a lobster roll (which would be daily if I were lucky)! Just a few highlights which are always fun to share of my recent trip there with a friend, we had lunch, shopped and did a lot of laughing and mourning over the fact that we will both be empty nesters in a year or so, to me that is totally heartbreaking! This is kind of like a part 2 to the other post where I featured many more Hamptons pictures…..
Adore all the wonderful colors and patters from Roberta Roller Rabbit, love this store!
This was taken at the new pop up shop of Serena and Lily, love the crisp white slipcover with navy piped pillows…..great look for The Hamptons!
Cute tunics and dresses can always be found at charming Gretchen Scott.….
More fun colorful tunics….
Calypso is always a store I must stop in…great summer clothing
I am like a kid in a candy shop at Sequin...where they have every colored enamel bracelet one could dream of!
Had lunch at B Smith in Sag Harbor with a front row seat of all the yachts ready to take their next trip….
How seriously picturesque is this? GORGEOUS!
Sooooo beautiful…could stare at this all day long!
I am madly in love with white hydrangeas….just breathtaking!
Random pictures that are floating my boat. I am rarely at a loss to find pictures that inspire me somehow. I am extremely visual and few things get to me the way a pretty picture does especially one that has a beautiful interior, gorgeous flowers, a beautiful party, wonderful food, etc…..so here are a few that are recently inspiring me in a big way.
Kind of loving this first room, how decadent and rich the brown damask walls feel with miles of crown molding, and the blues and whites just totally set it off!
Have a major thing for topiaries of all shapes, sizes and variations…aren’t these just beautiful!
Love this oversized fancy monogram!
And how about this wedding…..kind of reminds me of a glammed up version of my own Fathers Day table
Monograms. Kelly green. Blue and white…need I say more? Fabulous!
And beautiful flowers get me every time……
Especially mounds of peonies stuffed into blue and white vases…….
Beautiful table setting courtesy of Tory Burch
Has McDonalds “big M” ever and I do mean ever looked so chic as it does in blue and white!!!!!!!
A talented artist. I was contacted by Juan, a young artist who so generously offered to send me a few samples of his art. I was totally blown away when I received his box (gift) all the way from Europe. This is the kind of talent I am insanely jealous of. I mean can you imagine waking up and just being able to paint like this!! I am so in awe of his work and am seriously considering having him paint something for me. I just had to share both his gift to me and his gift of his work with all of you. Click here to see him on Pinterest and his website is www.sanmartin-artscrafts.com. Thank you Juan!
An interesting new book. Getting back into reading and loving every page. I have to say I am one of those odd birds that likes reading everything from good fiction, to autobiographies to exploits on Everest, always enjoy a great cooking book…..and recently discovered this one, about the life and tales of famous sommeliers. Talk about an interesting and fascinating read…if this is remotely interesting to you, go to Amazon I promise you will be entertained!! Click here to purchase……
White hydrangeas. These have always been a favorite. But this summer I am mildly obsessed with them and on a hunt for more more more! Finally planted the cluster of 5 large bushes that i bought and cannot wait to watch them bloom for the rest of the summer….
Aerin…….I am blaming the resurrection of the white hydrangea hunt on you! This picture just did me in and sent me on a wild goose chase one day of finding huge white hydrangea topiary trees!! So I finally found them not yet in bloom which is perfect but they are two hours away and I am trying to figure out a cost effective way of logistically getting them to me..I am determined!!
Newsflash as of Wednesday night (my local nursery was able to get them)…….look what landed on my back patio!
They are just starting to open with many many blossoms…..
Now need to figure out if we are putting them in these blue Provence planters and if so I will want to have 6 across the back of the house..can you visualize it?
Sunflowers. Another summer fave. They are so cheery and uplifting and colorful and these were huge…as in towering over 2 feet huge! I put them in my blue and white jar and loooove the effect. It even got me back into party mode thinking about planning a Tuscan themed dinner party……oh boy! Had a few family members over for a super casual BBQ on Sunday and used my pretty melamine plates with the sunflowers and have to say it made quite a pretty table!
2 great news books I recommend. While we took our little getaway I finished Beautiful Day by Elin Hidreth and I must say I really enjoyed it, one of her better ones in my humble opinion. It was a perfect summer read, finished it in 3 days so it was easy (always a plus). On a very different tone, Pain, Parties, Work and is another book I am currently reading and really enjoying, highlighting Sylvia’s arrival to NY in the glamorous 50’s , its fascinating, tragic and entertaining. (Did you read The Belljar)?
A great new line for monogrammed goodies. You know by now I have a total obsession with monograms, right? The fabulous site of , Mark and Graham has oodles of incredible monogrammed goodies. I was drooling over every single item and found the prices to be more than fair. Great site for personalized special gift ideas. This is going to become a definite regular “go to” for me so had to share! Check out some of the beautiful items….and click here to visit Mark and Graham.
Shop news.
Very excited to have just gotten in a few new styles of bell jars. The belljars continue to be one of my best selling items. I discount them almost 40% from many online and retailers so my price is impossible to beat. Not to mention they are just gorgeous and add a sense of elegance and beauty to any room they get hung in. Here are some of the new patterns, and to anyone who was waiting on the ever so popular tulip pattern, the container just arrived. They are quick to sell out so be sure to contact me if interested. New styles will be added within a few days but as always if there is anything you want/need or just want to make an inquiry, email me here.
The tulip now in stock in all sizes including the jumbo
Love this, double row Greek key…stunning and such a classic!
Just got the vertical feather in jumbo (as well as other sizes)
Star and feather….beautiful!
Diamond cut, very classic
Clover trellis
All are available in the standard oil rubbed bronze, or upgraded finishes of polished nickel and ant. brass.
And very unexpectedly I got in another 80 pieces of these beautiful blue and white dinner plates (replicated for the Vanderbilt family of Newport). I had gotten in 120 pieces a few weeks ago and they literally flew out the door, so happy to have more. They are sold individually and there is a price break when 10 or more are purchased. As always email me to inquire, [email protected].
Now onto the giveaway….I am giving away a pair of the gorgeous blue and white plates! They would make a great start to building a collection or even as a pair are highly decorative to use or hang/display. All you need to do to be eligible is visit my porcelain shop and come back here and tell me a favorite item. Click here to visit.
I will announce a winner on Tuesday morning. For a second chance you may leave a comment on The Enchanted Home’s Facebook page by clicking here. Anonymous leave your first name and last name initial in the body of the paragraph.
So that’s a wrap. Hope your week is going well. It’s been a busy one but one that has included some fun outings and finally feeling like I am getting to enjoy summer, so no complaints. I am taking off on Friday through the weekend for a tournament for my son so this will be it until Sunday. Wishing you a wonderful end to your week and talk to you in a few days. Thanks as always for stopping in!
Now THAT was a treat for my morning, Tina! I just saw your new post pop up right before I was going to leave my computer.
White hydrangeas against a green backdrop, the Hamptons, YOUR HOME and the new tree, all of the above goodies are a great way to start my day with a huge smile. I hope you get to travel to Maine as planned, ’cause this summer is flying by WAY TOO FAST for me! I just got back from California and may need to go out again in August.
So much beauty in one place! Love the new bellars! I also love the AP100 diamond jar of the blue and whites, that is a real beauty and one I would love to add to my collection. Thanks for the book recommendations and I just love your hydrangea trees.
Tina you have to remember with these random posts that some of us are menopausal and we get to the end and can’t remember what we saw to start……lol, ugh I hate that. I remember those fabulous watercolors and those lovely, lovely white hydrangea, mine are dripping in blooms. I love the tree hydrangea and need to go find a pair for around our porch. I’m always looking for new reading so thank you for the suggestions. Enjoy your time away!
Your blog is stunning and I love it so much ! I’m leaving in France 30 minutes south of Paris and USA are like my second country after England ! When I want to dream and see many beautifull things, I come to see you . I love the Hamptons to, to visit it again is in my wish-list. We went to Montauk and visit a stunning “jardinerie”. but I don-t remember the place. Last weekend we went to Bruges (belgium) and I bought a gorgious blue, violet hydrangea ! In my kitchen I got also blue and white plate coming from china, but not so nice as yours ! I wish you a very nice day. Amitiés Odile
Wow really such a great and beautiful tip to decorate the home and rooms, its just like an art of any great artist, I am surely going to implement these tips. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful ideas with us. SAP Calculations I really appreciate the wonderful creativity.
Your blog is really awesome and I really love it. I’m interested in home improvement and also decorating the house and one that I really is “Monograms. Kelly green. Blue and white.”
Oh my gosh Tina, Is Juan’s painting of the red Vespa for sale? I had a red vespa in high school that I used all the time to drive down to the beach. Several of my friends had them and we thought we were soooo cool puttering down the road. Although they did move when you need it. No helmet law and 55 mph on the expressway…..eee gads, and we never thought anything of it. I loved that red Vespa and have so many happy memories attached to it. I have a metal model replica of it that is on the library shelf given to me years ago by a dear friend who knew how much I loved that Vespa…..such fun.
Another beautiful inspiring post. Love the plates what a statement they make on your beautiful table. I love the ginger jars from your shop, always steals my heart each and every visit I make to browse. fondly ~lynne~
I was so excited about the Vespa I forgot to mention one of my favorite’s from your shop….that would be the Blue & Cream Staffordshire Dogs. I also went to Juan’s web site and purchased a painting he did of an elephant. I have my eye on a seascape as well. Talented man. Unfortunately the Vespa was not available. Just a suggestion Tina…. I am hydrangea obsessed also and love any kind of standard. I had a white one and with all the heavy rains and then the wind, it broke in half!!! I cried, I really did. It was the same size as yours, maybe a bit smaller. Anyway, I would suggest staking it if not in a protected spot, at least for the first season until the caliper gets a bit larger. Great post!
You know…ever since I started following your blog, I have discovered so many beautiful things. You introduced me to the beauty of blue and white. I love the antique soup tureen in your Porcelain shop. That is my most favourite. I can just see that as a cherished addition to my little humble home some day. I just love love love visiting The Enchanted Home each day. As you know…I have a Pin Board dedicated to the “The Enchanted Home”. I want anyone who visits my boards on Pinterest to discover the beauty and bliss that your blog can add to their lives. When I sit down to read your blog…I have my first cup of coffee and take a deep breath…and~~~~~ AHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~ I know, that for a wee little while, I will be treated to bliss and loveliness in this oh so busy busy world. Thank you for serving up a dish of Serendipity each day. Hugs to sweet, sweet Teddy. Marianne
Hi Tine I was not going to make a comment because it is 11.45 pm over here and it’s bed time, but I had to take a peek at your post. I love all of the above just beautiful I am obsessed with standard french roses (Delbards painters collection), white Agapanthus (lots of them) and I have Hydrangeas with Japanese names? My hats off to you for actually finding the time to read on top of everything else. How do you do that? Thank you for sharing. Regards Esther from Sydney.
I have been obsessed since I have discovered you and look forward to every post. Such eye candy you show on your blog. I adore birds and the AP 51 Large Porcelain Footbath stole my heart!
I love seeing a post from you in my inbox! That means that there is fabulous eye candy ahead. Thank you so much for your generous offer of yet another exquisite giveaway. Loving all the blue and white cache pots and especially AP55, the chunky ginger jar!! xo marlis
All your things are beautiful so it would be hard to choose a favorite! I would have to say for RIGHT NOW that I would love the bathroom set because I am getting ready to redo one of my baths. The plates are just really gorgeous too.
I adore the blue and cream staffordshire dogs ~ they would be perfect on my mantel! The plates are absolutely gorgeous and I would love to start a collection. Blue and white has always been my favorite color palette too! Kathy C.
Dear Tina, I am enjoying your Blog so much! My favorite item in your Porcelain shop is your blue and white hexagon planter. I also love the pair of bloe and white dogs that are similar to Staffordshire, as I have 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. They send their love to Teddy. Thank you, Deri T.
Oh how I loved this post, the colorful shops, artwork, monograms, blue and white, topiaries, flowers. I could go on and on. Visited your lovely shop and I have to say I am still in love with…..AP99- Gorgeous classic antiqued scenic foot-bath.
I adore so much in the Porcelain shop! I still am enamored with the White Food Dogs, and also the Burnt Orange, with Black or blue and white Staffordshire Dogs!
Love the blue and white with that touch or red dinner plates you are giving away. They are gorgeous and I love the back story!
Love your hydrangeas! They are gorgeous! Took another look in your porcelain shop…found AP53…planter/footbath…would make a great centerpiece! Thanks for the opportunity Tina! 😉
I share your love for hydrangeas Tina! Beautiful white:) Your French blue containers are so pretty ~ I need to find some for my deck. You ARE fortunate to live so close to the Hamptons.. sounds like you had a fun time with shopping and dinning .. and of course the lobster rolls!
I totally agree about the white hydrangeas. And love the new bathroom set! But there is sooooo much to love. Oh and yes, please, lobster rolls!!!!! Thanks Tina! Margi
An FYI – The white hydrangea is most likely Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ which is very hardy and reliable in colder areas of the Midwest like Chicago, where it’s been a very dependable bloomer year after year for me.
Hi, I just planted a Hydrangea bush this year that has been budding – hooray. I love any and all hydrangea and did not know there were topiary tree hydrangea. Love all your inspiration, Sue
After cleaning all morning this is such a treat! First of all, I have the SAME hydrangea topiary in my yard now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw them at our favorite nursery and HAD to have one. The plates are magnificent and I would lOVE to win a pair. The Hamptons, (and a LOBSTER ROLL) are on my bucket list. I doubt I could afford any clothes but the enamel bracelets are calling to me! As a florist I am thinking that the MOUND of peonies are done on a round moss base. The stems are cut short and inserted into the ball. Your blue and white collection is gorgeous, Tina. I don’t know how much more I can get, no more room:). Have a wonderful weekend, and I hope you get to Maine….that is on my bucket list too! XO, Pinky
Hi Tina…I am now officially insanely jealous of the time you get to spend in the Hamptons! Roberta Freymann’s bright colors are so cheerful and I NEED to add to my tunic collection.
I also just finished “A Beautiful Day” and also enjoyed it.
I was laughing because you went straight from a book about Sylvia Plath to posting about Belljars – perfect segue way.
Another fab post, Tina!! Love your white hydangeas and the sunflowers in the blue and white vases. I am reading Beautiful Day now and enjoying it. Love the artwork and your new plates are gorgeous. Have fun at the tournament!!
So glad you posted some pics from your trip. And lobster rolls…sound so good! I haven’t had one of those since I was last in Cape Cod. 🙂 And so cool that you saw Marc Jacobs too. And I could just go swimming in all of those gorgeous bracelets. HAHA!
Tina- absolutely love this post. So much to take in, love your hydrangea trees, haven’t seen those around here but going to ask my nursery if they can get them, I am in love!
Love the monogrammed line and actually they would be perfect for a few gifts I have. Read Beautiful Day and agreed it was a good easy read, love her books.
Last love your entire online shop but the tall diamond jars are a favorite and I am hoping to purchase a pair very soon. Hope I win the plates, they are so beautiful.
Oh Tina, I’m in love with EVERYTHING, but especially the table of enamel bracelets (I could spend all day in there) and everything from Mark & Graham. Fabulous post! Stacy
Another great post! Love those blue and white plates, would love to start a collection of my own. I also love the AP 54 in your shop, looking for the perfect ginger jar for my own center hall table.
Tina- adore your new hydrangea trees. The white is so striking. I have to get that sommelier book for my husband who believes he is “the next great nose” he is taking a wine course and heading to Sonoma Valley with his wine group for some kind of festival..he would love that book!
Would love to win those plates. They are so beautiful and so elegant and would always remind me of you and my favorite blog, The Enchanted Home!
Love the Staffordshire dogs in the shop – especially the black and white, but it is so hard to choose since everything is great! Loved seeing more of the Hamptons and hope you make it to Maine!
Love your blog, keep the inspiration coming! And MY favorite piece in your porcelian collection is the Extra large showstopping blue and white ginger jar with lid! It’s exquisite, however sold out at the moment! LOL! Your giveaway is EXCITING! 🙂 Thanks!
What a wonderful blog – Just love it all, especially the paintings – In your shop I adore the B/W porcelain table lamps. They are gorgeous. – Great giveaway as always, Tina!
I adore the blue and white s dogs! I have the black and white and the brown and cream pairs but have never seen the blue and white.Thanks for the chance to win those beautiful plates.
I have to admit, I wasn’t a huge fan of blue and white porcelain.. but then I discovered your blog and now I love it! I would love to start a collection with those plates! The ginger jars are all beautiful and I really like the blue willow vase with stand.
I can tell that I’ll be coming back here regularly – I love so many things that I saw today. On the website for the giveaway, I really love the AP21 Extra large showstopping blue and white ginger jar with lid. Actually I love a lot of the blue & white but that is one of my favorites.
Tina, I know what it feels like to bean empty nester, it’s not any fun. The first year is the most painful. I love your white hydrangeas. I hope you make it to Maine and share a lot of photos with us. I still love the blue and cream/white STAFFORDHSIRE Dog Pair in your shop. Christine
You have beautiful blue and white porcelain! I love the vases and the way you set the outside table with varied heights of flowers in the vases. Also love the look of the wedding table you have posted with vases and candles. Very pretty. This is my first time at your blog site, but will certainly be back.
Blue and white is always calling my name, and I love your lines. My favorite piece today is the Pretty Scalloped Planter. I could list so many items and also have a pair of foo dogs on my wish list. [email protected]
What a wonderful post! Your weekend sounded relaxing and fun. I am fairly new to your post, but it always makes my day. I love anything in blue and white porcelain, but especially adore your ginger jar AP36. It would look lovely in my living room. Thanks for sharing. Fondly, Debbie
Tina…your table setting looked beautiful…you know I’m a big fan of those blue and white Jars! The shop with the amazing fabric patterns looked right up my alley…wish I lived closer!
Perfect timing – a wine fanatic friend is having a birthday next week and I was just starting to think about what to get him them saw your book recommendation! It will be perfect! I am also off to visit the Mark and Graham site and I suspect I will be doing some shopping! Love your standard hydrangeas. I haven’t seen them in that form before. I hope your Maine plans fall back into place, it sounded like such a lovely way to spend a holiday. X Sharon
Tina, I am so sorry your Maine plans fell through!! I am actually headed there in a couple hours (i’m in Boston this AM). I will have a lobster roll for you! As always, there is so much gorgeousness here that it will take me a couple reads to absorb it properly. I’m swooning over those white hydrangeas and dying for the blue and white wedding! Must run to get ready to hit the road. Have a glorious weekend! XO
Tina so happy I did not miss this post. Absolutely beautiful! Love all the new belljars and plan on ordering two for my kitchen when it is done (hopefully late August).
Thanks for the book recommendations, always looking for something new that someone liked. And those white hydrangeas are heaven on earth! My goodness, they are so beautiful.
Count me in for the beautiful giveawy, my favorite item is the dragon ginger jars with the foo dog top. I love the jars I bought from you and am still adding:-)
I have to check out the monogrammed line, like you I share your love for all things monogrammed.
I love most everything blue. But really like the flat top ginger jar. Your pictures are lovely. Especially the hydrangeas. They are probably my favorite plant and I have more than 100 different plants.
Beautiful post as always! My favorite porcelain piece is the Incredible blue and white planter with ormolu trim 🙂 I would love to complement my current Blue Italian spode with these plates as I build my collection. Thank you for a lovely give-away.
Tina this is some post. I love how you are such an expert on so many great subjects. I thank you for making me love blue and white again and getting me on a “monogram kick”! I love all the Hamptons pictures and told my husband we need to take a trip there soon.
Love your sunflowers and all the pictures for that matter. I read Beautiful Day too and really liked it. Don’t you just want to jump into her books and become a part of the scenes? I always feel like that when I read her books.
Anyway please include me for the giveaway, I love all your porcelains but the foo dogs and large scenic planter are what I would like to have in my home. I know just the place for both. Hope you have a nice weekend.
Tina this post has me excited, first I love a great giveaway and think your blue and white selection is one of the best curated ones I have personally found. Love that dragon jar and think I will soon be purchasing a pair before you sell out again.
Second we are headed to the Hamptons en route to a wedding in Cape Cod in mid August. I will email you because I would love some suggestions about places to go, shopping,etc..in fact I bet a lot of other people would love to hear your tips that could make a great post!
Lots to love here, especially the monogram line and always jotting down new suggestions for books so thanks for that.
I have just discovered your blog through Google Search bringing up some Ralph Lauren images. I have just spent over an hour looking through the posts on the building of your home, I am absolutely hooked, it is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I am so into French style and we have planned to hopefully build a little French style place in New Zealand, maybe next year. However, after seeing your house, which has given me so many ideas I am now going to be very disappointed in anything I build as it will certainly not be to such amazing detail and so beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your home, I will be looking for more links tomorrow and sign up for your posts.
Tina, I gotta say all the porcelain in your shop is beautiful but I was drawn to the bowl with pink flowers and little birds. I enjoy your blog tremendously. Hope to win the set of blue plates.
I love the plate set! They will look perfect with my decor. :-). Today, my favorite item in the porcelain shop is the vanity set. It’s so hard to find unique sets like that!
Tina, thank you for another beautiful post! I have a very stressful job & reading your beautiful posts is how I wind down & relax for a few minutes during the day!! White flowers are so classic – can’t wait to see your gorgeous hydrangea trees in their new home setting! Always LOVE your blue & white porcelain pieces in your shop – we get so many wonderful comments about the two blue & white mini Staffordshire-like dog lamps that I bought from you! Best, Kathy Bunge
I’ve been coveting a silver tray with handles like you carry in your shop. I could use them to serve off my new blue and white plates? Cindy from Wheeling, WV
Love this post, everything is so beautiful. The blue and white porcelain is all so beautiful but I love the blue and white planters. I always admire them when I look at your shop. Thanks for such a generous giveaway. Linda O.
You have so many beautiful things! I do enjoy perusing in your shop, and there are several items on my wish list! In your porcelain shop, I especially love the new bathroom set, but the Staffordshire dog pair is just too cute!
I am in love with AP 53, the scalloped blue and white footbath/planter. I am saving up my pennies for it! The plates are gorgeous, and your table setting with them is amazing. Hope you are having a wonderful summer!
Hi, Oh I get lost in your shop! I want it all! One of my favorite porcelain pieces is a large flat top ginger jar. The detail, the color, spectacular! Love it all! Your driveway is going to be wonderful, love the cobblestone look. I should have been born a century or two ago, because I love the buildings, the craftsmanship. Wish that was available in todays world!
Im completely kindred with you! Must been separated at birth! Love the bathroom set as well. Can’t have enough blue & white…even in bath! Loved your musings about Princeton. My daughter used to work there and while I would wait for her to get off, I would get lost on campus and in the cute shops. Complete bliss. In fact, Princeton & the Hamptons, two of my FAVE places!!
Oh where to begin……..love your Staffordshire dogs and lovely blue and white planters! They are so versatile in shape and sizes. You blue and white giveaway plates would look fantastic in my Chelsea House plate holders I purchased this weekend at an estate sale.
Love seeing the progress on your beautiful home. Can’t wait to see the white hydrangeas in their new planters.
Tina I so look forward to your blog–so many beautiful pictures and decorative ideas. I have several of your blue and white pieces—my next purchase will probably be the large blue and white planter. So many pretty pieces to choose from! Love the white hydrangea trees in this blog–I must have one for my porch! Charlotte Caruso
Thanks so much for another opportunity to win something from your gorgeous shop! You have SO MANY gorgeous things but I just adore the two antiqued 20″ ginger jars with the Foo dogs on the cover! Talk about making a statement!!! Sounds like you had a great weekend- Princeton is lovely! Back at home- I’m loving your Hydranga trees And green with envy over your Belgian block driveway!! So perfect with your beautiful home!!!
Love your blog and your shop. Your porcelain section if probably my favorite and although there is nothing I don’t love, I think my current favorite is the AP54 Ginger Jar.
I truly enjoy and look forward to reading your latest posts. Keep them coming.
Just love your blog. It is difficult to choose a favorite from the shop–but AP101 would have so many uses–the round bowl. Thanks so much for sharing your viewpoint–always lovely.
Hi Tina, You are such an inspiration 🙂 I am in the process of trying to remodel my home and I love looking at your pictures for ideas. Thank you thank you thank you. P.S. I even went shopping this weekend for hydrandrias :)) Jennifer S.
I love the blue and white bathroom set, so pretty. I just changed everything in my home last year to incorporate the blue and white decorating theme. Love your blog and look forward to all the beautiful photos.
Thank you again for an opportunity to win something from your fabulous collection! I am definitely a blue & white lover, but the AP51 large planter stole my heart today with its elegant birds and butterflies scenery and its beautiful ormolu handles. I can already visualize it sitting on my dining room table–filled with tall white orchids. A girl can dream, right?!?
What a great post! So many things to love in this one. I loved your pics from your Hampton trip. And I was ga-ga over all of those enameled bracelets at Sequin! What I wouldn’t do for a store like that here in Salt Lake City!! Also loved the hydrangea trees you just purchased! Those have set my mind in a spin!! Gorgeous!
yeah that really such a brilliant design, interiors and decoration. I really loved your home and designs. thanks for sharing such a brilliant thing with us. MP3 Converter

Hope your week is off to a great start…….
Hamptons. Lucky enough to live close enough to go almost as often as I am craving a lobster roll (which would be daily if I were lucky)! Just a few highlights which are always fun to share of my recent trip there with a friend, we had lunch, shopped and did a lot of laughing and mourning over the fact that we will both be empty nesters in a year or so, to me that is totally heartbreaking! This is kind of like a part 2 to the other post where I featured many more Hamptons pictures…..
This was taken at the new pop up shop of Serena and Lily, love the crisp white slipcover with navy piped pillows…..great look for The Hamptons!
I am like a kid in a candy shop at Sequin...where they have every colored enamel bracelet one could dream of!
Had lunch at B Smith in Sag Harbor with a front row seat of all the yachts ready to take their next trip….
Random pictures that are floating my boat. I am rarely at a loss to find pictures that inspire me somehow. I am extremely visual and few things get to me the way a pretty picture does especially one that has a beautiful interior, gorgeous flowers, a beautiful party, wonderful food, etc…..so here are a few that are recently inspiring me in a big way.
Kind of loving this first room, how decadent and rich the brown damask walls feel with miles of crown molding, and the blues and whites just totally set it off!
Have a major thing for topiaries of all shapes, sizes and variations…aren’t these just beautiful!
And how about this wedding…..kind of reminds me of a glammed up version of my own Fathers Day table
And beautiful flowers get me every time……
Especially mounds of peonies stuffed into blue and white vases…….
Has McDonalds “big M” ever and I do mean ever looked so chic as it does in blue and white!!!!!!!
A talented artist. I was contacted by Juan, a young artist who so generously offered to send me a few samples of his art. I was totally blown away when I received his box (gift) all the way from Europe. This is the kind of talent I am insanely jealous of. I mean can you imagine waking up and just being able to paint like this!! I am so in awe of his work and am seriously considering having him paint something for me. I just had to share both his gift to me and his gift of his work with all of you. Click here to see him on Pinterest and his website is www.sanmartin-artscrafts.com. Thank you Juan!
An interesting new book. Getting back into reading and loving every page. I have to say I am one of those odd birds that likes reading everything from good fiction, to autobiographies to exploits on Everest, always enjoy a great cooking book…..and recently discovered this one, about the life and tales of famous sommeliers. Talk about an interesting and fascinating read…if this is remotely interesting to you, go to Amazon I promise you will be entertained!! Click here to purchase……
White hydrangeas. These have always been a favorite. But this summer I am mildly obsessed with them and on a hunt for more more more! Finally planted the cluster of 5 large bushes that i bought and cannot wait to watch them bloom for the rest of the summer….
The tulip now in stock in all sizes including the jumbo
All are available in the standard oil rubbed bronze, or upgraded finishes of polished nickel and ant. brass.
These gorgeous blue and white bathroom pieces are now back in stock. Love them……..
And very unexpectedly I got in another 80 pieces of these beautiful blue and white dinner plates (replicated for the Vanderbilt family of Newport). I had gotten in 120 pieces a few weeks ago and they literally flew out the door, so happy to have more. They are sold individually and there is a price break when 10 or more are purchased. As always email me to inquire, [email protected].
Here is a sample of how I put mine to good use……
So that’s a wrap. Hope your week is going well. It’s been a busy one but one that has included some fun outings and finally feeling like I am getting to enjoy summer, so no complaints. I am taking off on Friday through the weekend for a tournament for my son so this will be it until Sunday. Wishing you a wonderful end to your week and talk to you in a few days. Thanks as always for stopping in!
Now THAT was a treat for my morning, Tina! I just saw your new post pop up right before I was going to leave my computer.
White hydrangeas against a green backdrop, the Hamptons, YOUR HOME and the new tree, all of the above goodies are a great way to start my day with a huge smile. I hope you get to travel to Maine as planned, ’cause this summer is flying by WAY TOO FAST for me! I just got back from California and may need to go out again in August.
Wishing you a wonderful day of fun. Love! Anita
So much beauty in one place! Love the new bellars! I also love the AP100 diamond jar of the blue and whites, that is a real beauty and one I would love to add to my collection. Thanks for the book recommendations and I just love your hydrangea trees.
I hope to win the plates!
Tina you have to remember with these random posts that some of us are menopausal and we get to the end and can’t remember what we saw to start……lol, ugh I hate that. I remember those fabulous watercolors and those lovely, lovely white hydrangea, mine are dripping in blooms. I love the tree hydrangea and need to go find a pair for around our porch. I’m always looking for new reading so thank you for the suggestions. Enjoy your time away!

Your blog is stunning and I love it so much ! I’m leaving in France 30 minutes south of Paris and USA are like my second country after England ! When I want to dream and see many beautifull things, I come to see you .
I love the Hamptons to, to visit it again is in my wish-list. We went to Montauk and visit a stunning “jardinerie”. but I don-t remember the place. Last weekend we went to Bruges (belgium) and I bought a gorgious blue, violet hydrangea ! In my kitchen I got also blue and white plate coming from china, but not so nice as yours !
I wish you a very nice day. Amitiés Odile
Wow really such a great and beautiful tip to decorate the home and rooms, its just like an art of any great artist, I am surely going to implement these tips. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful ideas with us. SAP Calculations I really appreciate the wonderful creativity.
Your blog is really awesome and I really love it. I’m interested in home improvement and also decorating the house and one that I really is “Monograms. Kelly green. Blue and white.”
Wonderful post! I keep reading it over and over again for all the beautiful pictures. I have been obsessed with your napkin rings forever.
Oh my gosh Tina, Is Juan’s painting of the red Vespa for sale? I had a red vespa in high school that I used all the time to drive down to the beach. Several of my friends had them and we thought we were soooo cool puttering down the road. Although they did move when you need it. No helmet law and 55 mph on the expressway…..eee gads, and we never thought anything of it. I loved that red Vespa and have so many happy memories attached to it. I have a metal model replica of it that is on the library shelf given to me years ago by a dear friend who knew how much I loved that Vespa…..such fun.
Love this post. I’m leaving this short comment to enter for the plates so I can go back and reread! Have a wonderful day! Patricia B
Another beautiful inspiring post. Love the plates what a statement they make on your beautiful table. I love the ginger jars from your shop, always steals my heart each and every visit I make to browse. fondly ~lynne~
I was so excited about the Vespa I forgot to mention one of my favorite’s from your shop….that would be the Blue & Cream Staffordshire Dogs. I also went to Juan’s web site and purchased a painting he did of an elephant. I have my eye on a seascape as well. Talented man. Unfortunately the Vespa was not available. Just a suggestion Tina…. I am hydrangea obsessed also and love any kind of standard. I had a white one and with all the heavy rains and then the wind, it broke in half!!! I cried, I really did. It was the same size as yours, maybe a bit smaller. Anyway, I would suggest staking it if not in a protected spot, at least for the first season until the caliper gets a bit larger. Great post!
Hi Tina!
You know…ever since I started following your blog, I have discovered so many beautiful things. You introduced me to the beauty of blue and white. I love the antique soup tureen in your Porcelain shop. That is my most favourite. I can just see that as a cherished addition to my little humble home some day.
I just love love love visiting The Enchanted Home each day. As you know…I have a Pin Board dedicated to the “The Enchanted Home”. I want anyone who visits my boards on Pinterest to discover the beauty and bliss that your blog can add to their lives. When I sit down to read your blog…I have my first cup of coffee and take a deep breath…and~~~~~ AHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~ I know, that for a wee little while, I will be treated to bliss and loveliness in this oh so busy busy world. Thank you for serving up a dish of Serendipity each day. Hugs to sweet, sweet Teddy.

Hi Tine I was not going to make a comment because it is 11.45 pm over here and it’s bed time, but I had to take a peek at your post. I love all of the above just beautiful I am obsessed with standard french roses (Delbards painters collection), white Agapanthus (lots of them) and I have Hydrangeas with Japanese names? My hats off to you for actually finding the time to read on top of everything else. How do you do that? Thank you for sharing. Regards Esther from Sydney.
I have been obsessed since I have discovered you and look forward to every post. Such eye candy you show on your blog. I adore birds and the AP 51 Large Porcelain Footbath stole my heart!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love seeing a post from you in my inbox! That means that there is fabulous eye candy ahead. Thank you so much for your generous offer of yet another exquisite giveaway. Loving all the blue and white cache pots and especially AP55, the chunky ginger jar!! xo marlis
All your things are beautiful so it would be hard to choose a favorite! I would have to say for RIGHT NOW that I would love the bathroom set because I am getting ready to redo one of my baths. The plates are just really gorgeous too.
What’s not to love???
Just now getting into the blue and white accessories, and love the bathroom set!
Martha F.
I adore the blue and cream staffordshire dogs ~ they would be perfect on my mantel! The plates are absolutely gorgeous and I would love to start a collection. Blue and white has always been my favorite color palette too!
Kathy C.
Dear Tina,
I am enjoying your Blog so much! My favorite item in your Porcelain shop is your blue and white hexagon planter. I also love the pair of bloe and white dogs that are similar to Staffordshire, as I have 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. They send their love to Teddy.
Thank you,
Deri T.
Oh how I loved this post, the colorful shops, artwork, monograms, blue and white, topiaries, flowers. I could go on and on. Visited your lovely shop and I have to say I am still in love with…..AP99-
Gorgeous classic antiqued scenic foot-bath.
I adore so much in the Porcelain shop! I still am enamored with the White Food Dogs, and also the Burnt Orange, with Black or blue and white Staffordshire Dogs!
Love the blue and white with that touch or red dinner plates you are giving away. They are gorgeous and I love the back story!

Tina I have also commented on your Facebook Page thanking you for your generosity!

Love the hydrangeas! They look like the ‘limelight’ variety? Love Love Love mine! So easy and beautiful long bloom time!
Thanks for giving some joy each day!
Susan F.
I’ve had my eye on a blue and white planter for sometime! And your home is absolutly fabulous!
Love your hydrangeas! They are gorgeous! Took another look in your porcelain shop…found AP53…planter/footbath…would make a great centerpiece! Thanks for the opportunity Tina! 😉
I share your love for hydrangeas Tina! Beautiful white:) Your French blue containers are so pretty ~ I need to find some for my deck. You ARE fortunate to live so close to the Hamptons.. sounds like you had a fun time with shopping and dinning .. and of course the lobster rolls!
Have fun today!
I totally agree about the white hydrangeas. And love the new bathroom set! But there is sooooo much to love. Oh and yes, please, lobster rolls!!!!! Thanks Tina! Margi
An FYI – The white hydrangea is most likely Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ which is very hardy and reliable in colder areas of the Midwest like Chicago, where it’s been a very dependable bloomer year after year for me.
I like the blue and white little container with the gold claw feet and the gold finial!
-Brittany Ruth
Hi, I just planted a Hydrangea bush this year that has been budding – hooray. I love any and all hydrangea and did not know there were topiary tree hydrangea. Love all your inspiration, Sue
Tina, I know I have told you before…but I really appreciate the break in the day…my escape over here at your blog. The table setting is magnificent!
I think AP96, the oversized blue & white bowl with wooden stand/bottom is gorgeous. Kristina D
After cleaning all morning this is such a treat! First of all, I have the SAME hydrangea topiary in my yard now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw them at our favorite nursery and HAD to have one. The plates are magnificent and I would lOVE to win a pair. The Hamptons, (and a LOBSTER ROLL) are on my bucket list. I doubt I could afford any clothes but the enamel bracelets are calling to me! As a florist I am thinking that the MOUND of peonies are done on a round moss base. The stems are cut short and inserted into the ball. Your blue and white collection is gorgeous, Tina. I don’t know how much more I can get, no more room:). Have a wonderful weekend, and I hope you get to Maine….that is on my bucket list too! XO, Pinky
Forgot! I went to the shop and now I am in love with the JADE GREEN embossed jar! It would be perfect in my master!
Hi Tina…I am now officially insanely jealous of the time you get to spend in the Hamptons! Roberta Freymann’s bright colors are so cheerful and I NEED to add to my tunic collection.
I also just finished “A Beautiful Day” and also enjoyed it.
I was laughing because you went straight from a book about Sylvia Plath to posting about Belljars – perfect segue way.
Take care…xoxo
I like the ginger jars with the rectangle shape
[email protected]
Another fab post, Tina!! Love your white hydangeas and the sunflowers in the blue and white vases. I am reading Beautiful Day now and enjoying it. Love the artwork and your new plates are gorgeous. Have fun at the tournament!!
So glad you posted some pics from your trip. And lobster rolls…sound so good! I haven’t had one of those since I was last in Cape Cod. 🙂 And so cool that you saw Marc Jacobs too. And I could just go swimming in all of those gorgeous bracelets. HAHA!
Jayme @ Her Late Night Cravings
Tina- absolutely love this post. So much to take in, love your hydrangea trees, haven’t seen those around here but going to ask my nursery if they can get them, I am in love!
Love the monogrammed line and actually they would be perfect for a few gifts I have. Read Beautiful Day and agreed it was a good easy read, love her books.
Last love your entire online shop but the tall diamond jars are a favorite and I am hoping to purchase a pair very soon. Hope I win the plates, they are so beautiful.
Oh Tina, I’m in love with EVERYTHING, but especially the table of enamel bracelets (I could spend all day in there) and everything from Mark & Graham. Fabulous post!
Stacy
Another great post! Love those blue and white plates, would love to start a collection of my own. I also love the AP 54 in your shop, looking for the perfect ginger jar for my own center hall table.
Tina- adore your new hydrangea trees. The white is so striking. I have to get that sommelier book for my husband who believes he is “the next great nose” he is taking a wine course and heading to Sonoma Valley with his wine group for some kind of festival..he would love that book!
Would love to win those plates. They are so beautiful and so elegant and would always remind me of you and my favorite blog, The Enchanted Home!
PS Your patio is to die for and I loved the Hamptons pictures.
Love the Staffordshire dogs in the shop – especially the black and white, but it is so hard to choose since everything is great! Loved seeing more of the Hamptons and hope you make it to Maine!
I find the bathroom set just perfect and may have to purchase the set for a housewarming
gift.
Love your blog, keep the inspiration coming! And MY favorite piece in your porcelian collection is the Extra large showstopping blue and white ginger jar with lid! It’s exquisite, however sold out at the moment! LOL! Your giveaway is EXCITING! 🙂
Thanks!
What a wonderful blog – Just love it all, especially the paintings – In your shop I adore the B/W porcelain table lamps. They are gorgeous. – Great giveaway as always, Tina!
I adore the blue and white s dogs! I have the black and white and the brown and cream pairs but have never seen the blue and white.Thanks for the chance to win those beautiful plates.
I have to admit, I wasn’t a huge fan of blue and white porcelain.. but then I discovered your blog and now I love it! I would love to start a collection with those plates! The ginger jars are all beautiful and I really like the blue willow vase with stand.
I can tell that I’ll be coming back here regularly – I love so many things that I saw today. On the website for the giveaway, I really love the AP21
Extra large showstopping blue and white ginger jar with lid. Actually I love a lot of the blue & white but that is one of my favorites.
Tina,
I know what it feels like to bean empty nester, it’s not any fun. The first year is the most painful. I love your white hydrangeas. I hope you make it to Maine and share a lot of photos with us.
I still love the blue and cream/white STAFFORDHSIRE Dog Pair in your shop.
Christine
You have beautiful blue and white porcelain! I love the vases and the way you set the outside table with varied heights of flowers in the vases. Also love the look of the wedding table you have posted with vases and candles. Very pretty. This is my first time at your blog site, but will certainly be back.
Blue and white is always calling my name, and I love your lines. My favorite piece today is the Pretty Scalloped Planter. I could list so many items and also have a pair of foo dogs on my wish list. [email protected]
What a wonderful post! Your weekend sounded relaxing and fun. I am fairly new to your post, but it always makes my day. I love anything in blue and white porcelain, but especially adore your ginger jar AP36. It would look lovely in my living room. Thanks for sharing. Fondly, Debbie
Tina…your table setting looked beautiful…you know I’m a big fan of those blue and white Jars! The shop with the amazing fabric patterns looked right up my alley…wish I lived closer!
Love the white Foo Dogs (for my Sister!)
Lovely Blog! Plan to place an order for the Blue & White Plates…but would love to have 2 more….hint, hint!
Perfect timing – a wine fanatic friend is having a birthday next week and I was just starting to think about what to get him them saw your book recommendation! It will be perfect! I am also off to visit the Mark and Graham site and I suspect I will be doing some shopping! Love your standard hydrangeas. I haven’t seen them in that form before. I hope your Maine plans fall back into place, it sounded like such a lovely way to spend a holiday. X Sharon
Tina, I am so sorry your Maine plans fell through!! I am actually headed there in a couple hours (i’m in Boston this AM). I will have a lobster roll for you! As always, there is so much gorgeousness here that it will take me a couple reads to absorb it properly. I’m swooning over those white hydrangeas and dying for the blue and white wedding! Must run to get ready to hit the road. Have a glorious weekend! XO
Tina so happy I did not miss this post. Absolutely beautiful! Love all the new belljars and plan on ordering two for my kitchen when it is done (hopefully late August).
Thanks for the book recommendations, always looking for something new that someone liked. And those white hydrangeas are heaven on earth! My goodness, they are so beautiful.
Count me in for the beautiful giveawy, my favorite item is the dragon ginger jars with the foo dog top. I love the jars I bought from you and am still adding:-)
I have to check out the monogrammed line, like you I share your love for all things monogrammed.
Enjoy your weekend.
I love most everything blue. But really like the flat top ginger jar. Your pictures are lovely. Especially the hydrangeas. They are probably my favorite plant and I have more than 100 different plants.
It was hard to choose, everyone is so lovely. I really like the “Beautiful scalloped blue and white decorative scalloped plate.”
Beautiful post as always! My favorite porcelain piece is the Incredible blue and white planter with ormolu trim 🙂 I would love to complement my current Blue Italian spode with these plates as I build my collection. Thank you for a lovely give-away.
The porcelain is all so beautiful, but my heart is throbbing for the covered vanity box AP 49. I love the plates you are giving away! Mary S.
Love the diamond ginger jar! OK…actually….love it all. But that is my favorite. Thanks, Tina. Love the blog!
[email protected]
Love the diamond ginger jar, too. All of it beautiful!
Tina this is some post. I love how you are such an expert on so many great subjects. I thank you for making me love blue and white again and getting me on a “monogram kick”! I love all the Hamptons pictures and told my husband we need to take a trip there soon.
Love your sunflowers and all the pictures for that matter. I read Beautiful Day too and really liked it. Don’t you just want to jump into her books and become a part of the scenes? I always feel like that when I read her books.
Anyway please include me for the giveaway, I love all your porcelains but the foo dogs and large scenic planter are what I would like to have in my home. I know just the place for both. Hope you have a nice weekend.
Great read, as always…love the large ginger jars:-)

Tina this post has me excited, first I love a great giveaway and think your blue and white selection is one of the best curated ones I have personally found. Love that dragon jar and think I will soon be purchasing a pair before you sell out again.
Second we are headed to the Hamptons en route to a wedding in Cape Cod in mid August. I will email you because I would love some suggestions about places to go, shopping,etc..in fact I bet a lot of other people would love to hear your tips that could make a great post!
Lots to love here, especially the monogram line and always jotting down new suggestions for books so thanks for that.
I love your blog and all your items, especially the doggies.
D. Gray
what joy it would be to win the duet of plates! they look amazing on your enchanting table, tina!
michele
I have just discovered your blog through Google Search bringing up some Ralph Lauren images. I have just spent over an hour looking through the posts on the building of your home, I am absolutely hooked, it is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I am so into French style and we have planned to hopefully build a little French style place in New Zealand, maybe next year. However, after seeing your house, which has given me so many ideas I am now going to be very disappointed in anything I build as it will certainly not be to such amazing detail and so beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your home, I will be looking for more links tomorrow and sign up for your posts.

Love, love, love the AP 53 Breathtaking large porcelain blue and white scalloped scenic planter/foot bath . What a beauty, so unique.
I absolutely love the boxes with the brass accent! Thank you for sharing such beutiful things in your blog.
Tina, I gotta say all the porcelain in your shop is beautiful but I was drawn to the bowl with pink flowers and little birds. I enjoy your blog tremendously. Hope to win the set of blue plates.
Linda R.
Just like Anonymous in the post above, I love the planter with flowers and birds–it would be perfect for many uses!
Betty C.
I love the plate set! They will look perfect with my decor. :-). Today, my favorite item in the porcelain shop is the vanity set. It’s so hard to find unique sets like that!
AP 43 Incredible blue and white planter with ormolu trim IS AMAZING! Love your posts! Such beautiful Blue and White items!
I love A51!
Linda Hess from Pa
Tina, thank you for another beautiful post! I have a very stressful job & reading your beautiful posts is how I wind down & relax for a few minutes during the day!! White flowers are so classic – can’t wait to see your gorgeous hydrangea trees in their new home setting! Always LOVE your blue & white porcelain pieces in your shop – we get so many wonderful comments about the two blue & white mini Staffordshire-like dog lamps that I bought from you! Best, Kathy Bunge
Tina,
I love the blue and white dogs. So classic! And Love all the photos you share with us all
Christine
The blue and white planter with ormolu trim is something I come back to again and again! Beautiful.
Jacque Whitesell
I’ve been coveting a silver tray with handles like you carry in your shop. I could use them to serve off my new blue and white plates?
Cindy from Wheeling, WV
Love this post, everything is so beautiful. The blue and white porcelain is all so beautiful but I love the blue and white planters. I always admire them when I look at your shop. Thanks for such a generous giveaway.
Linda O.
I really enjoy your posts. It’s part of my daily routine to check your blog. Truly inspiring. Thanks to you , I am now a true fan of blue and white.
Wendy G.
You have so many beautiful things! I do enjoy perusing in your shop, and there are several items on my wish list! In your porcelain shop, I especially love the new bathroom set, but the Staffordshire dog pair is just too cute!
Your Blue AND white just warms my heart! i love all of it!!!
Barbara
I am in love with AP 53, the scalloped blue and white footbath/planter. I am saving up my pennies for it! The plates are gorgeous, and your table setting with them is amazing. Hope you are having a wonderful summer!
Hi, Oh I get lost in your shop! I want it all! One of my favorite porcelain pieces is a large flat top ginger jar. The detail, the color, spectacular! Love it all!
Your driveway is going to be wonderful, love the cobblestone look. I should have been born a century or two ago, because I love the buildings, the craftsmanship. Wish that was available in todays world!
Another great giveaway… one of my favorites is the blue and white bathroom set. Really enjoy your posts!
Carol Ann N.
Im completely kindred with you! Must been separated at birth! Love the bathroom set as well. Can’t have enough blue & white…even in bath! Loved your musings about Princeton. My daughter used to work there and while I would wait for her to get off, I would get lost on campus and in the cute shops. Complete bliss. In fact, Princeton & the Hamptons, two of my FAVE places!!
Oh where to begin……..love your Staffordshire dogs and lovely blue and white planters! They are so versatile in shape and sizes. You blue and white giveaway plates would look fantastic in my Chelsea House plate holders I purchased this weekend at an estate sale.
Love seeing the progress on your beautiful home. Can’t wait to see the white hydrangeas in their new planters.
Michelle Seman
Tina I so look forward to your blog–so many beautiful pictures and decorative ideas. I have several of your blue and white pieces—my next purchase will probably be the large blue and white planter. So many pretty pieces to choose from! Love the white hydrangea trees in this blog–I must have one for my porch!
Charlotte Caruso
Thanks so much for another opportunity to win something from your gorgeous shop! You have SO MANY gorgeous things but I just adore the two antiqued 20″ ginger jars with the Foo dogs on the cover! Talk about making a statement!!! Sounds like you had a great weekend- Princeton is lovely! Back at home- I’m loving your Hydranga trees And green with envy over your Belgian block driveway!! So perfect with your beautiful home!!!
I love the blue and white tissue box holder. It is absolutely perfect for my blue and white guest bathroom.
I am getting into urns, I love the tall ginger jar. I love reading your blog, always beautiful!!
[email protected]
Love your blog and your shop. Your porcelain section if probably my favorite and although there is nothing I don’t love, I think my current favorite is the AP54 Ginger Jar.
I truly enjoy and look forward to reading your latest posts. Keep them coming.
Hi Tina,
Just love your blog. It is difficult to choose a favorite from the shop–but AP101 would have so many uses–the round bowl. Thanks so much for sharing your viewpoint–always lovely.

Yes please, I’d love those plates. Your home and style are amazing and so inspirational!

Hi Tina,
You are such an inspiration 🙂 I am in the process of trying to remodel my home and I love looking at your pictures for ideas. Thank you thank you thank you.
P.S. I even went shopping this weekend for hydrandrias :))
Jennifer S.
I love the blue and white bathroom set, so pretty. I just changed everything in my home last year to incorporate the blue and white decorating theme. Love your blog and look forward to all the beautiful photos.
Thank you again for an opportunity to win something from your fabulous collection! I am definitely a blue & white lover, but the AP51 large planter stole my heart today with its elegant birds and butterflies scenery and its beautiful ormolu handles. I can already visualize it sitting on my dining room table–filled with tall white orchids. A girl can dream, right?!?
#3…..elegant, attention to detail.
What a great post! So many things to love in this one. I loved your pics from your Hampton trip. And I was ga-ga over all of those enameled bracelets at Sequin! What I wouldn’t do for a store like that here in Salt Lake City!! Also loved the hydrangea trees you just purchased! Those have set my mind in a spin!! Gorgeous!
Tina,
I love the Bell Jar Lighting & the Beautiful Blue & White Tables. What’s not too Love? I love it ALL!!!
