We  love Mondays  You usually stop by when you have seen things over the weekend that you like and simply could not live without.  We like this of course.

On Sat and Sun some of our great designer wanna-be’s were in to purchase a little home decor.  We talk about color and design and its such fun to hear new ideas and share ours.

Today and through the weekend coming up our eco-friendly planters will be on “special.”  Its that time.  Planting can be so enriching for our hands and our souls.  It is for us.  Here is our deal.  Purchase one (1) eco-forms planter, any size and get 20% off pot #2. Saucers are included in the price.  Happy planting.

Posted by ContessasHome in Downton Abbey Tour, Special Events, Today's Update

≈ Leave a comment

You have watched every episode of Downton Abbey and probably own boxed seats of each series. Contessa’s will be conducting a one week tour in September of 2015 and  you will be able to relive some of your favorite moments through our exclusive access visit to Highclere Castle, the family home of the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon.  In addition, there are On Location visits to some of Oxfordshire Cotswolds villages featured in the different episodes.

Topped and tailed with time in London, the tour also includes leisurely visits to Hampton Court Palace, Blenheim Palace and the University of Oxford.

This will be a seven-day tour.  Contessa’s is pleased to offer this tour. We invite you to contact us now for further details and itinerary.

Hi from Contessa’s.  Another great day ahead.  We love the sound of spring. The birds are having so much fun right now.  And the flowers are doing their thing in full force.  This is a quick season so enjoy!

If you are in the neighborhood, stop by.  We have some new jewelry from our Nashville, TN designer, Elly Preston. Very cool stuff. And if you are thinking about getting started on potting plants we have a great selection of our eco-friendly -biodegradable planters.  This years colors are just the best.  We have sold these for six years now.  You love them and so do we.

We have lots of projects ahead to take care of, but your visits make it all worthwhile.  It’s a great Thursday at Contessa’s.

Enjoy our Gallery!
