Who are the five artists featured in our newest show? Well, we'll give you a hint: they're immensely talented artists, all strong-willed and driven women - and they're all at the top of their art game. We're hosting them in a group show this coming Friday evening, April 26th, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the gallery. We've been working on this show for a while and these five seemed … [Read more...]
Scentsational Candles
They're ba-ack! Our favorite candles are back in store. They come with 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 tea-scented candles stopped … [Read more...]
Texas, we love you!
If you follow us on this blog, you'll know that we've been in Round Top, Texas, for the mother of all antique fairs this side of France. And here's our take on it: Texas, we love you! This was us at the fabulous Marburger Farm. What a fun week it's been. From genuinely lovely, caring and hospitable people (Brenda, that's you, girl!) who have welcomed us to their Airbnbs … [Read more...]
Atlanta Loves Melissa Payne Baker
We have an art show opening on Friday, April 26th at Huff Harrington Fine Art, appropriately called, "The Fab Five" as it will feature five of our prominent female artists. Early on, we had nicknamed the show, "Home Grown" because these ladies all have southern roots, some with shoots that run deep in Atlanta. Of this distinguished group, no one has been a Huff'ington … [Read more...]
From bonjour to howdy – we’re going to the Round Top Antiques Fair!
Next week, we're exchanging our bonjours and ballet flats for howdys and cowboy boots. Yes, we are packing up a giant truck and bringing our Huff Harrington goodies and one-of-a-kinds to Round Top, Texas for six fun days of selling at the famous Marburger Farm at the Round Top Antiques Fair. Are you a Round Top newbie? That's fine - because we are too. We first heard … [Read more...]

Chasing Cicchetti in Venice
Last week, we were wrapping up a quick shopping trip for art and one-of-a-kinds in Italy, when we needed to get to back to France for the weekend. The least expensive flight actually left from Venice (I swear it did, Meg!), so we hopped on a train and decided to spend the night there. Having done no advance planning, we were a little taken aback by the number of … [Read more...]
Chic outdoor spaces
Such a tease. Mother Nature gave us a couple gorgeous mild days lately which got everyone thinking about being outside - and then, just like that, we'll be down to the 40s this week. (And a nod to our Northern readers - we know that doesn't sound too terribly cold to you, but after you've lived in Atlanta for a while, anything below 50 degrees qualifies as "wintery"!) So, … [Read more...]
Wicker, rattan and bamboo
One of our favorite trade shows is the tony Maison & Objet Salon held twice a year outside of Paris. This show is like none other. Despite the vast space of 7 football-field sized pavilions linked together around a courtyard, and the enormous crowds of professional shoppers on a mission, there is a quiet buzz that permeates the entire area, punctuated from time to time … [Read more...]

We're big fans of AH&L and love what they're doing with their showhouse series: bringing together the best, brightest and most talented design talent … [Read more...]
