More at Market!

Krista had fun taking pictures in Atlanta this year - with so many inspiring products and showrooms this year, it was hard to say no to anything! We are excited to share with you a few of our favorite things!

What's old becomes new again. We just love these wingback chairs in vintage fabrics!

We saw old books used in so many fun and creative ways - they are a great filler for a space you don't know what to do with. They are also a great way to add height! We saw them tied with twine and ribbon, stacked by the hundreds, and even looped together with an old belt!

Don't you just love the way these old dishes look? Makes us want to take our iron baskets from the store, run down to Ikea and clear out their stock of white bowls!

Recognize these? Our lovely wine vats were sitting in a row with fresh flowers in vintage bottles for a fun and refreshing take!

Who wouldn't love to sit on this bench???

Our favorite frame company with all the darling sayings has created some beautiful new pieces. Don't you just love this collection? I would take "always" "love you" and "forever" and hang them in my bedroom! Can't you just see "dearest" and "darling" in a nursery?

This just sums it all up.

Are you as excited for Halloween as we are? Bring on the black crows and witches hats!

We fell in love with these old key necklaces. Expect to see some in the store soon!

These tapestries were just fun! We would put the owl in a little boy's room - or make a fun office display! Love the globe too - those are definitely back in style so if you hung onto your old globe - kudos! Pull it out and maybe refreshen it up or repurpose it to make it new again. A coat of black paint will do it - or mark with large darts all the places you've visited and stick it in a gameroom! Fun!

We can't wait to show you what's next!

Summer Salad Composition...

There is nothing I love more than a sunny summer morning and an outing to my local Farmers Market. Yum. The possibilities for the evening meal are always an inspiration and a delight.
I am impressed by the heirloom varieties of most vegetables, however recently carrots have caught my fancy. Did you know carrots come in many more colors than plain orange? Such as pale yellow, maroon with an orange interior, a creamy white and even a subtle orange. Each color even tastes a bit different. Indeed these are not the carrots of our youth or even the produce aisle of the supermarket!
Summers in Maine are much cooler than the rest of the country, the lettuces, peas, and herbs do not "bolt" (rush to flower, rendering the lettuce especially, bitter) and seem to last longer due to the lack of heat and humidity. So selections for interesting salads are readily available this time of year.
This Summer Salad Composition is easy.
Mixed Greens (about 3 cups)
Nasturtium Greens & Flowers (From the garden) about 1-2 cup
Basil, Dill, Parsley (one or all of this combo) a small handful
Young tender Snap Peas, gently sauteed to a bright green. about 1 cup
Many colors of heirloom Carrots about 3-4
Dried Figs, a large handful
Spring turnips (sliced thinly) These are small, about 7 or 8
Roasted Beets (Golden, Ruby Red or Orange) about 1 cup chopped
Artisan Goat Cheese (York Hill-Garlic & Dill if you can find it) about 1/4 of a cup
Drizzle with Balsamic Vinegar Reduction

Grab a large platter and cover with the mixed greens
Next tear the Nasturtium leaves and scatter over mixed greens
Julienne the Carrots, scatter artfully
Scatter Beets and Sliced Turnips and Nasturtium Flowers
Crumble the goat cheese place sprinkle on top
Drizzle the Balsamic Reduction vinegar.
Yummy, you now have a salad for 4.
This is excellent with some grilled, Fish, Chicken or any roasted meat.
We had a family dinner last night and enjoyed this salad last night with Lobster, which at 3.99 per pound is 1/2 the price of organic Chicken!

Market News!

7.20.09 - UPDATE! Lamps are in!!! Come see them now at The Willows!

Shopping at market is many things. It is overwhelming first and foremost with hundreds of new and pretty things all begging to be bought and sold in our not-big-enough-to-hold-it-all store in Phoenix! It is also exhausting - back-to-back appointments are made ahead of time and schedules are never kept as they should. Mostly, though, it is an inventive time where we can transform the store into whatever inspires us at the moment.



Here is a preview of a couple of items to come! We hope you are looking forward to them as much as we are!
