From One Nest to Another
If you have yet to stop by Nest’s HUGE SALE, then you better get going. Angela Adams floor sample rugs are up to 70% off, while Jonathan Adler white pottery pieces, MOR cosmetic products, Bell’Invito boxed sets, and Michele Varian pillows (love!) are also marked down. Go ahead and spruce up that nest of yours and save a buck all at the same time.
Re: John Robshaw
Finally, we’ll have John Robshaw linens and pillows right here in Dallas. Carley Seal, owner of The Gypsy Wagon at 5211 Bonita, is expecting her first shipment in August. Interesting, because I didn’t know about this store - I will definitely find out.
Domestic Art
I love beautiful houses, I especially love beautiful Dallas houses - and, there are a multitude that you’ll see in the September issue of DHome. So, when my dear friend (and competitor) Rob Brinkley writes a book about beautiful houses in Dallas, I have to crow about it. It is being published by the distinguished Assouline press, and is due out in October. Look for local editors at Paper City to host lots of fetes in honor of this one, the grand opening is scheduled at Neiman Marcus on October 21. Rob, does this get me an automatic invitation? Remember, I knew you when….
That’s Hot!
When the National Gallery of Art decided it was time to create their own signature candle line, who did they commission to develop the design and fragrance? None other than our friends on Travis, Home, James! The colorful candles come in an array of refreshing scents (may I recommend Vendome), and can burn for over 60 hours ($48 each). The ornamental design on each box pays tribute to Owen Jones’ book, “The Grammar of Ornament,” which was published in 1856 and is part of the Gallery’s collection of rare books. You can purchase these candles at the National Gallery of Art’s gift shop, but Home, James’ Dallas location is probably much more convenient.
