If you stop by Friday, you can shop with our wonderful rep Katie all day!

Once again, we have another new Tibi delivery arriving in-store. This time it’s the summer delivery, and it is always a favorite of mine. They do a great short every summer, too, and this year is no exception.

When I was asked to design an intimate tablescape for a “friendor’s” 45th birthday, I was so honored. She shared a lookbook to get things started, and from there we ran with a vision that blended natural elements with a slightly exotic edge.
