We always feel like we hit the jackpot when we find a new artist whose work we're crazy about. We have to click a couple boxes before we sign on the dotted line: we have to love the work, we have to have a good vibe with the artist - oh, and they have to like us too. Such is the case with the lovely Gail Foster, whose work we spotted at a fun artist/dinner event at Serenbe … [Read more...]
Paris Perfect Sheets
We are passionate about sheets. In fact, sheets are such a big deal that we’ll often pick a hotel based on the quality of the sheets (and it’s the first thing we talk about when we meet up in the morning). We’re so picky about sheets that although we’ve wanted to carry some good ones in our store, we couldn’t find any that fit all of the Huff’ington criteria: Super soft, all … [Read more...]
How to Live with Antiques
We're waiting on another container full of French goodies that should be arriving just as you're reading this. We LOVE getting our containers and as we unload, unpack (and sweat or freeze depending on the season), it's like greeting long-lost friends. We love seeing elegant 18th century commodes marched into the store side-by-side with our favorite crunchy "etablis" (work … [Read more...]

Scentsational Candles
We are so thrilled to re-introduce our new and improved HHH candles! They'll bring back rich memories, if you knew them in the past, and if this is your first date with them, you're in for a sweet surprise. Here is the back story of how they came about. Many years ago, on one of our first shopping trips to France, we stumbled upon an amazing candle maker whose … [Read more...]
Ooooh la la! It’s Bastille Day!
What happens when you mix carefully curated walls of gorgeous French-inspired art, a nice cold glass of rose and "La Vie en Rose" playing in the background? It's Bastille Day at Huff Harrington Fine Art, of course! We'll be here on Saturday, July 14th, fete-ing our favorite holiday and we hope you'll stop by from 6 to 8 p.m. We've lost track of how many years this lively … [Read more...]
Susan Kinsella
Many years ago, a delightful woman named Susan rented Les Murets from us for a week in the summer. I remember this vividly for several reasons, including her distinctive, clever and funny emails and the fact that when we met for the first time (discovering that we were neighbors in Atlanta), I spilled a full glass of red wine all over her white jeans. Undeterred, Susan -- who … [Read more...]
Our favorite outdoor spaces
We just got back from an action-packed week in France buying up goodies galore for our next container (arriving in August, we hope). In between waking up at the crack of dawn, hitting the fairs by 8 a.m., driving to the next destination and checking in and out of four hotels, we had a couple hours to enjoy the gorgeous summer weather in Provence and Paris. The skies were … [Read more...]

This year, we have a very special guest star who will be joining us: Who could … [Read more...]
