Today's Prescription: Whether you celebrate Passover or Easter, start your prep work!

We're a couple weeks out from two Spring holidays, so start thinking about what you might need for these holiday meals. Here are just a few things to check on:

Wine Glasses - did your Christmas party get out of hand?  Maybe a stem or two got broken?  Or if you've been meaning to complete your stemware collection,now may be the time.  Let us know if we can find your pattern for you.

Bread Basket - many of our clients find the Eucalyptus Stoneware collection perfect for everyday and holiday use.  Their stoneware, American made baskets serve as perfect fruit bowls or bread baskets and come in an array of colors and sizes.  If you prefer a contemporary table, maybe one from Alessi will suit you.

Pie Plate - if dessert is a key part of your meal, you may need a pie plate.  We love these ceramic, handled options from Staub.

Sedar Plate - check out our plates from Spode, Annieglass, Nambe, and more.  Order soon to make sure you have it in time!

Serving Pieces - depending on your menu, you may need salad servers, tongs, ice tongs, pie or cake servers, appetizer forks, etc...

Just scratching the surface of all that goes into these wonderful family meals.  Check out our website for all your entertaining needs!

Today's Prescription: Israeli designer jewelry makes perfect birthday, Mother's Day, Bat Mitzvah gifts & more!

Recently, we happily added Israeli designers Amaro and Ayala Bar to our jewelry collections. 

AMARO is designed by Irit Goffer-Sasson.  Irit, who resides with her family in Israel, is inspired by her travels throughout the world and the power of women and draws on the forces of nature to create her unique line.  Her collection combines semi-precious stones with swarovski crystals on a base of silver-plate or 24 kt. gold plated nickel-free metal.

Since the late 1980's, Ayala Bar, who was born and resides in Israel, has been a prominent Israeli jewelry designer.  Her current designs blend natural elements, swarovski crystals, and glass with assorted metals to create a rich mosaic, resulting in intricate pieces that change every season. Ayala Bar has consistently produced designs that are innovative yet timeless, bold yet feminine, and international in appeal.

We're excited to extend our jewelry selection to offer these beautiful collections.  Expect even more pieces added in the next several weeks!

Today's Prescription: Give the gift of light!

Looking for a small, more traditional gift under $50?  Check out Bernardaud's Votivelight Candles. Light the tealight and watch the porcelain design begin to glow.  There are so many designs available, they are suited for so many occasions!

• Is someone taking their first big trip to New York, Rome, Africa, or Greece?  Commemorate the occasion with the appropriate city votivelight.
• Did a lovely neighbor do you a favor?  What's her favorite flower - Sweet Peas, Wildflowers, or maybe Roses?  Don't buy her a bouquet that will wilt away, get her something she can have forever!
• For the engaged or married couple, the Wedding Scene or simply Amours candle suits these special memories. 
• What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, right?  Well, your friends can be reminded of the good times every time they look at their Las Vegas votivelight!

These are packaged in a blue Bernardaud gift box and once we add our complimentary gift wrap, you've got a special gift for someone!
