Ask and you shall receive...Seek and you shall find

As the story goes, "ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you..."Yeah, yeah, sure, sure...right? Well it's true.  Today we received a lovely flush of visitors to our blog who sent us pictures of their Worlds Away pieces in their home.

Let us share that of Mod Frugal.  They sent us a lovely showing of their new dining room space with 3 of our pieces.  Cosmo the table, Mondo the lamp, and Vicki the mirror.

Thank you to our new friends at ModFrugal for sharing with us and the Worlds Away fans! It's great to see these 3 kids have a good (and very beautiful) home! To view more of this dining room transition, click here.

We received a lovely note from a former Memphian, remember we are in Memphis "y'all", who now lives in Nashville.  She is no stranger to the blog world and as it were you probably are already friends! But just in case, let us introduce our friend from My Interior Life. She shared a lovely post with us that exhibits our CHFAC3 fixture front and center in her dining room.

Many thanks, Kathy for sharing with us!

Lots of Greek Key Action Going On

As many designers know, Greek Key is taking the field by storm.  It is popping up everywhere.  Fabrics, trim, artwork, carpet and rugs, and furniture.  We proudly have some of these beautiful Greek Key pieces in our inventory.  If you aren't familiar, let me introduce the Pagoda and her big sister the Wrenfield.

Meet one of our new friends....

Saturdays are fabulous!  We all love them, right?  It is an opportunity to wash the clothes that you wish you had clean to wear during the past week (I'm speaking from personal experience), take a nap, hang out with friends and family.... go SHOPPING!  Oh, and speaking of shopping.....let me introduce you to a new member of our Worlds Away litter.  This piece is not yet available but will be soon...again...I repeat....THIS PIECE IS NOT YET AVAILABLE BUT WILL BE SOON!  I know you're all going to want 1...or like me, both.

This is Jackson.  Jackson is named after our dearly beloved office golden retriever.  He's such an amazing dog.  So when this table was named, we knew it has to have a really important name!
And rightfully so...just like our Jackson with four legs, Jackson the dining table is the most beautiful dining table...EVER.  Okay so clearly I am biased, but come on...it's a fabulous piece.

The Jackson table hosts multiple friends and is a table folks will want to gather around for the holidays and for parties!

The Jackson Dining Table, along with many other new friends,
 will be released during the summer of 2011!

During the weekend...

Well, it seems like the official start of summer has been marked as we flew through the Memorial Day (long) weekend.  And today, as I sit down at my desk, I think to myself, "hmmm, it's summer".  Yes I know that the actual season change into summer isn't for a few more weeks but come on....teachers are out of school, the summer temperatures (at least here in Memphis) have spiked to nearly 100 and the pool is open! All of that equals, summer.

In the midst of thinking about the fact that summer has arrived, I also did  mental check list of what I did over the long weekend.  Really, it should have been a check list of what I didn't get done over the holiday weekend. Unless I can list naps, snacks and treats and things, hanging out with the hubbs and the kitty, and doing 1 (yes,only 1) complete load of laundry, I'm out of luck on said list.

So while I was super busy doing nothing over the holiday weekend, our friend Bryn from Isabella in Charlotte, North Carolina was busy doing all kinds of things like installing a Worlds Away Venus fixture in her entry way.


Is that great of what?  Totally great.  It makes me want to rush home tonight after work and reconfigure my own entry way!  Isn't design fantastic.


So...Shout out to Bryn and Isabella for posting about our Venus Fixture!

Happy Summer, kids!
