Lucy – Off to London

31 Monday Mar 2014

Lucy,  a customer of ours today, is off to London tomorrow with her new scarf and a gift for her sister who is also living in London. How much fun they will have.  We are so excited for Lucy. She is going to take up residence, look for a job and become a “Brit” for a while.  Her Mom’s heritage is British and she wants to experience living in her country of origin.   We wish her well on her new adventure.  Lucy was a very fun customer today. We had such a nice chat.  We love Monday’s at Contessa’s.

New silver jewelry from our fav company in Sausalito, CA  This jewelry is available at Contessa’s in both silver (complexity but clean design) and a copper/brass fusion. These pieces are created using traditional Indian techniques.  The three styles of cuffs are created using a Maya bead/basket weave with a delicate wire framework.  The Beaded  necklace centered here is a bevy of silver-plated metal and glass beads delicately knotted by hand to create this striking 36″ necklace.  These new pieces are just the beginning of our spring arrivals from California. We love, love, love these new looks!

Winter is officially gone.  We are certainly on the cusp of “Spring.”  It is 5:30 am and we can hear the birds chirping outside our shop window.  And I see seven red-breasted Robins.  Rain today will bring on the blossoms.  Daffodils are popping little heads all over town.

We hope you will swing by the shop today as our lamp sale will end on Monday the 31st at COB.  This is an annual event, so keep this in mind for next year. Our latest vintage acquisition is an awesome post-war floor lamp.  We just picked it up from repair.  It is a mahogany spindle wood with a new torch-ere. Finally it is  topped off with a beautiful silk shade in a dusty grey/tan color.  A steel rod has been added to the inner part of the spindle and it will now endure the test of time.  It is a beauty.  You have to see it really.  Anyone who knows much about lamps would definitely appreciate this wonderful lamp.  It is included in our SALE.

We also have some new jewelry from Sausalito, CA.  Our note-cards, stationary and pic frames are still on SALE at 50% off.  Tea Forte is also 50% off. (Tea Infusers especially are a great deal)  And our colorful  cotton napkins are now 50% off.  Enjoy these sale items.

Next week Elly Preston jewelry arrives and our beautiful scarves from CA will be here.  The colors this year are very pretty.  We can’t wait for them to arrive.  You will love them.
