MILWAUKEE MAGAZINE & MOTHER'S DAY

Just thought I would share with you a little press we received in the May issue of Milwaukee Mag. What a great way to thank mom for everything she does by giving her a piece of John Derian.

GREAT TRAVEL ACCESSORIES

Just booked my plane ticket for a summer beach trip to visit family in Connecticut and am already excited about using one of the new Jane Marvel Laminated Canvas Bags. The various sizes and patterns are perfect for all vacations – a weeklong tropical vacation or a short cottage weekend. Also a must for travel are our new Claridge and King and John Robshaw tunics and dresses. They are so comfortable for a long plane or car ride and can also be used for pajamas, sightseeing or a day of lounging at the beach.

SPRING IS COMING IN STRONG

Here are a couple of shots of some great new things that arrived this week - fresh candle, new John Robshaw bedding for Spring and the new Oakland Sofa in Modern Felt Natural!

REJUVENATE FOR SPRING

Our new K. Hall Hand and Body Creams have arrived just in time to rejuvenate your skin after the cold Milwaukee winter. Four distinct scents – Moss, Shoreline, Washed Cotton and Milk – along with a mix of aloe juice and shea butter, makes dry skin feel smooth and fresh. The size is also perfect for keeping one in your purse, at your desk and at home.

HUGO GUINNESS PRINTS

New lino prints from Hugo Guinness just arrived today! The word "Beautiful" describes them perfectly!

PALE & INTERESTING

Atlanta Bartlett (with the help of Dave Coote) has done it again... in their new book Pale & Interesting that we just received in the store late last week. It is such a gorgeous and relaxing display of decorating with whites and neutrals & even pastels. I have not been able to put it down. Here are a couple of snippets from the book. Stop down to get your copy you won't be disappointed.
