One of the world's lovliest lamps....is on sale at Jan Showers this week through Friday (Feb 2-5), at her sample sale for 35-75 percent off. Go here for details.
This chair is on sale, too. It's just delightful. I think this is a chair you might find in Jane Austen's Emma. Remember when Mr. Knightly suddenly announces he's going away to London, leaving Emma and her father in their pretty drawing room? Emma stares sadly at the chair where he used to sit and remarks that she's never noticed the tired upholstery before. Now that he's gone, it must be recovered right away. It was a wonderful metaphor for covering up pain. This is what I imagine she must have covered the chair in. Raspberry ribbons!
Yesterday, Lisa Luby Ryan sent over a wonderful orange fabric box tied with a gunmetal gray satin ribbon!
Inside was a small black and white abstract by Maryland artist Judy Hintz Cox, part of Lisa's new collection of contemporary art -- I think it's a sophisticated contrast with the store's pale-hued, casual antiques and vintage pieces.
Here's the invite. I'm sure she'd love it if you came.

I was just thinking about you and decided to check in on your blog. I'm so glad that I did! There's something I really love about the idea of being able to cover up pain/loss with raspberry ribbons. It might be a pretty healthy way to deal with pain, considering some of the other ways we humans deal with it! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. And the chair certainly does look like something out of an Austen novel.
Bronmin -- of course you'd have liked the Jane Austen reference! Can you imagine having that chair in your house? You'd never get depressed. It has so much effervescence and charm.
Thanks for the heads up, Rebecca...I will be in Dallas early next week and want to make the rounds...I've got a good start.
