My big news?
It will come later in this post.
A lot of you on Facebook already know it, but for the rest,
patience, my friends.
It's been far too long since I shared some new images
from my sweet friend
Carol Hicks Bolton's shop,
so I hope you enjoy seeing the brilliance
being created on Warehouse Row
right here in Fredericksburg, Texas.
This chair, to my mind, embodies perfectly
Carol's new aesthetic of "raw luxury".
Stripped of all artifice, and allowing the layers to peel away,
revealing the beauty buried deep within.
The purity and honesty revealed in these pieces
speaks to my belief that beauty is found in that
which has lived a full life, and not necessarily
a pristine one.
a pristine one.
I never fail to leave Carol's shop
enchanted and inspired, which has in large part,
brought me back full circle.
Starting this month,
you will be able to find me and my good friend
teaming up and selling our vintage wares
at Fredericksburg's latest shopping hot-spot,
Smitten
Smitten
" Smitten is a Fredericksburg original.
Created by a mom, her daughter, and their friend.
We carry vintage and new home goods,
some clothing, local savor, gifts,
and other delights that you WILL be smitten with! "
It's been a couple of years since I gave up
my antique mall booth, but I am super thrilled
to be a part of this incredible new venture.
The shop is due to open mid-May,
and I'll give you a definite date as the time draws nearer.
I'm excited and scared all at the same time,
but I really do think that y'all will adore this shop.
Destination shopping, for sure.
Along with Laboratoire De Design, of course!
Today we begin the big move into our cozy little
room at Smitten, and I do hope you'll
pay us a visit soon, along with all the other
incredible dealers setting up shop
alongside us.
