On Saturday July 14th, we’ll be celebrating our annual Bastille Day show, hosting a gallery full of French art enthusiasts, who have been coming for years to sip rose wine, nibble on ham and cheese sandwiches, sing along with our accordion player and admire our walls of French inspired art. This year, we have a very special guest star who will be joining us: Who could … [Read more...]
Meet the Neighbors
Almost two years ago, we moved to a new location on Roswell Road in Buckhead. We were sad to leave our first spot (very poshly located next to the St. Regis in Buckhead) but after five years, it was time to go. We loved our neighbors (B.Braithwaite, Dry Bar, Detox and Flywheel) but we were confident we'd be thrilled with our new address. And we are! We … [Read more...]
Revisiting Lac d’Annecy
When Meg and I first met, about fifteen years ago, we zoomed past 6-degrees of separation in to the 2-degree zone, quickly discovering similar upbringings in Europe and shared expat experiences -- like a distinct memory of the curly butter served on the Statendam Ocean Liner or the same appreciation for JFK airport, that always signaled a summer of home-leave in the good old … [Read more...]
Harbour Island Heaven
News flash: We adore our jobs! How else would we be able to travel as frequently as we do to France where we shop for goodies and art for the store and gallery, eat and drink marvelously and take in all that Frenchy beauty that is everywhere the eye turns? But when it's time for a little R & R, it turns out I've become a bonafide beach girl and my favorite go-to place … [Read more...]
How to become a gallery artist
With our gallery closed for ten days of renovations (and some of us champing at the bit to get back in there), we thought it would be a good time to revisit a subject we’ve tackled before: Helping artists find the right gallery representation. Being a full-time artist is a tough field to break into and sustain, and we have the utmost respect for the artists who embrace … [Read more...]
Paris Restaurants
It seems that we get requests almost daily from friends and family looking for Paris restaurant recommendations. Judging by the number of blogs we’ve written about the subject, it’s fair to say that this is a favorite topic of ours … and one that we continue to expand upon (in more ways than one!) every year. We certainly can’t offer the exhaustive list, nor do we pretend to … [Read more...]
Wedding Belles: meet bride-to-be Darby Fallon

The treasure hunt
Picture this: it's almost 8 a.m. somewhere in France. Depending on the season, it's either 20 degrees or 90 degrees and it's either pouring down rain or blazing hot. There's a huge crowd of people mashed up around a gate (and because it's France, everyone is smoking and doing power shots of coffee from tiny plastic cups.) Everyone is sizing each other up - or recognizing … [Read more...]
Oooh Baby!
“So when exactly is she coming back?” we asked each other daily, just four weeks after our invaluable marketing manager, Emily, left on maternity leave (and just 3 weeks and 4 days after her darling Louisa was born). “And why is she gone so long?” we quietly pondered, conveniently forgetting the ordeal of childbirth, the ensuing exhaustion, and the complete … [Read more...]
