Hello and happy Sunday to you all! Beautiful day here, I plan to spend a good bit of it outdoors, my little garden is starting to show signs of success with tiny tomatoes showing their pretty little faces…such gratification comes from watching it grow.

It’s been a busy week with lots going on and ended with a great weekend. Went on a friends new yacht (such a treat) went to a real authentic Korean BBQ restaurant (interesting and delicious) and a friends home for a beautiful dinner.

On the work front, got in the chinoiserie tole and the pieces were even more fabulous in person, brought a number home (of course) so that was a highlight, was in the city, NJ,and Westchester all over 4 days, lots of driving this week.  My new site is going into development as we speak so we are about 4 weeks away from it being done…..super exciting.

As I do every Sunday, I share with you seven things on my mind….. also the mascara from Sephora I raved about last week, some emailed that it’s sold out. I just get it online, makes it so much easier, click here. Now let’s get this how on the road…..

1 STUNNING STATIONERY. I have always had a weakness for gorgeous stationary. One of my sponsors, Dixie Designs does things that are out of this world. Their newest creations are just too beautiful for words. Plus their holiday cards are so incredibly beautiful…will be placing mine very early this year:)

Makes me want to get married, have a baby, host a birthday party all at once:) So if you have anything on your agenda, you  might want to take note of this exceptional line, which is not only beautiful but priced very fairly. Their recent collaboration with the uber talented artist, Gina Langford is dream worthy! Check them out-

2. SERIOUSLY EXCITING ENCHANTED HOME NEWS!! So I have told you about what is going on behind the scenes, my new site should launch in about a month. But the most exciting news,  possibly ever is this………

 

 

My amazing collection of gorgeous blue and white Christmas ornaments are just about to be approved, (80% of them, tweaking the final pieces) which means they will then go into production…woo hoo! The process was rather long and involved many stages but it is so exciting to see it coming to fruition!

A dream is coming true:) So hopefully will have them later Aug/early Sept. Here is a special sneak peek and the only place that you will have a chance to see them first, I also have a 2 very quick polls to ask of you my readers, because your input is so valuable…thank you in advance!

3. And the other piece of super exciting news is because of my longstanding LOVE for Provence planters, an idea was hatched a few months ago. I love them  first because they are so European and classic and secondly becuaes everything looks great in them.

I have been wanting to design/have them made  and friends, I am excited to announce that samples have been approved and metal painted/coated Provence planters are in the works!! VERY exciting, these will ship by start of August and be here early Sept. Here is one in it’s early stage (not coated or painted)…..the early stage-

Ready to see the finished product (not totally finished but you get the idea)-

So now need your input in a short poll, as these are so helpful to me regarding the two products above-


 

4. INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST I love to collect my very favorites every week, and this week it’s another beautiful batch. Some fun sayings, a healthy dose of blue and white, some gorgeous fashions and of course something yummy to round out the mix!

5. AMAZING MONOGRAMMED PILLOWS. I love my monogrammed pillows from Calico Daisy and wanted to share a few recent ones that she did for an e design client with outdoor fabric for her patios  and look at this newest design with what just happens to be my initials:) Click here for Calico Daisy.

6. SOME FABULOUS FINDS. Recently helped a fairly newly married young couple in Philadelphia with their new townhouse/ rooftop deck, and we got such wonderful items. Had such fun with this project (still having fun)! Everything came from Decor Market.

And if you can believe it came under budget!! She has sent me the pictures but does not want them published so unfortunately I cannot show you the end result but trust me it’s gorgeous (and maybe one day she will change her mind). I thought these deals were worth sharing, so click here to visit Decor Market (and if you buy something be sure to use the code enchanted for an extra savings)

Ordered these chairs for the patio and rooftop deck- comes in two beautiful finishes (we ended up going with the first finish) would love to use these for myself in PB

And this one, can you believe its only $369!

We ordered these first two for bedrooms and the prices were unbelievable, a lot of look for the money, was stunned to see the prices of these and my own wheels are turning for the PB house.

7. ONE FABULOUS HOTEL. So my oldest son recently traveled to India, and though in the last few years he has had the chance to travel to some really exceptional locations, India is the one he said he would love to go back to. His excitement intrigued me so I checked it out…

He was there with five others and though they got to see plenty, he said he would love to go back as a smaller group and really explore. He raved about his hotel and upon looking, I must say it does look pretty spectacular, even has me thinking about a trip there, such a rich culture and illustrious history. Check out the Leela Palace in New Delhi and click here to learn more about this beautiful property.

So that is my wrap up this week, lots to love but I have to admit my personal faves just because I am so excited about them are my ornaments and planters, just can’t help myself:) Thank you as always for stopping in, wishing you a wonderful, relaxing and beautiful day. Until next time…..

PS The new arrivals al fresco promo is on but will end early as most items sold out, there are still a few good buys though! Click here

A delightful way to enjoy my Sunday morning while drinking my coffee on my screened porch reading this wonderful and beautiful post! I throughly loved all the this wonderful information and thanks Tina for your great work!

Good Morning Tina,
Beautiful post as always. I am very excited about your Christmas Ornaments, they are lovely. My 2 cents on the planters is to also offer them in the unfinished state which I think is gorgeous.
Best,
Valerie

I absolutely love your Christmas ornaments. They would work perfectly in my home. I have been looking for something like that for years. I love blue and white!!!

I look forward to Seven on Sunday each week, and it never disappoints. Have a wonderful day!

Hi Tina,

I agree with another reader that the planters would be wonderful unfinished. I would definitely buy them unfinished. Happy Sunday!

Good Sunday morning, Tina! Huge congrats on your blue and white Christmas ornaments!! They look so beautiful, and will become instant classics. I cannot wait to order mine. Guess I’ll be doing blue and white this Christmas 🙂
Cheers
L

The blue and white ornaments are lovely. I can’t wait to order them. They will be perfect for my blue, white and silver table top tree.

Hi Tina love so much here. That stationery is beautiful planning an engagement party for the fall so will have to check them out.

So in love with your new items-the ornaments are like mini works of art, cannot wait to have my first ginger jar Christmas tree!

And yes to those planters, have always loved that style, I would buy 4 without hesitation. I cannot wait until you offer them.

Always so much to admire on these Sunday posts. Hope you enjoy your gardening here it’s 92 degrees so it’s a stay inside with the AC kind of day haha.

I am always intrigued by Seven On Sunday. The possibility of those gorgeous ornaments is exciting. The planters are lovely. I could go on and on about the things you listed. Your tastes are alway impeccable. I never tire of your blog. Thank you for the time you spend compiling a list of to-die-fors! Have a wonderful week!

I have never seen such as these delicately detailed and finely colored ornaments.
Beautiful. I didnt think at first I would be interested but these are charming.
And I absolutely agree, yes to unfinished planters!

So love your new Xmas ornaments- I must reveal I keep a tree all year round seasonally decorated and these would be perfect in my blue and white living room-why only keep for holidays when it can be viewed always!

I think I am as excited as you, Tina over those ornaments!! I hope at one point some are made over-sized so to hang them by ribbon from a vestibule or porch ceiling. There was once Dept 56 that made huge jeweled toned ornaments that hung from the porch ceiling… but alas like so many specialty retailers their days are no longer. I too would love to see the planters unfinished. The patina would age beautifully!

Any future thoughts of possibly selling your products in the Hamptons? Perhaps via a temporary storefront or shelf line to an existing storefront?

Great post as always! Love your new planters. They even look good unpainted! Very exciting to see all the gorgeous new items in the works.

Just love the wicker collection from Decor Market. I’m so glad to know about them! Also, my son went to India recently too and found it absolutely amazing. He was there on business and was treated like royalty. They have the most fabulous hotels with incredible services at a very reasonable price. It has me wanting to go there too. It’s on my bucket list.

In addition to whatever colors you would choose, I would like the planters to also be offered in an unfinished state.

Love the metal planters but they would not work in hot weather climates-they would absolutely fry my plants in Arizona. Wish they came in a polymer of some sort.

Tina, Where do the wicker chairs come from, and do they come in a darker finish?

Thanks,

I love that stationary….pinned it. You are right…makes you want to have a party.

The planters are so great…perhaps when we move back to Newport Beach. Love those wicker chairs, too.

So excited about the planters. Wanted the white ones yoi posted the other dau bit they were too pricey!! Thanks for having cheaper ones. Also will be ordering some of the baby announcememts in a few months for my new grandchild !!

Tina, was wondering if you have a shop in Westerchesrer County? I live near Danbury Ct and would love to visit the store.
Thanks,
Dee Poquette

Dearest Tina, good morning!

How lovely to see your comment on my blog page this morning! Yes, I’ve been back to blogging for about 6 months now. It’s a juggle for me however, since I am now on Instagram and the school year was rough. But, I’m on summer break and loving it! I hope your peonies were just as magnificent as ours out here in Minnesota. I bet they were! NOW….our blue crush is coming down the pike: HYDRANGEAS! I just bet you will go to the flower market and select the best and share with us!

Hugs to you dearest Tina, and have a spectacular day! Anita

Love, Love, Love the blue & white ornaments. I have a silver Christmas tree that once was put up in our piano room but I loved it sooooo much I moved it to my home office the last two years. I call it the Liberace Tree because to me a silver Christmas tree is a bit over the top. Last year I searched far and wide for blue & white ornaments and came up with not much. Now I will finally have my blue & white AND silver Christmas tree!!! Please price them reasonably. I’ll go out on a limb here but if they are priced PBish if not slightly higher then I am in 🙂

Hi Tina, Sounds like a fun weekend and I’m glad to hear your garden is growing:) What fun! Seattle weather has been rainy and cool one day and very warm the next .. feels like an average spring I guess! I’ll be forwarding your post to my daughter so she can check out the stationary link. As I mentioned before we are in wedding-plan mode and are looking at options……. 😉
