hello Monday...Hello HUDSON! Hello Mercantile and Hello Fab BOOK!

...hello Monday.

Sometimes it does take me some time to get around 

to sharing a peek at something special...

Things move quickly around here, and I can hardly believe it's been a few weeks since the exciting book signing at the Hudson Mercantile for Mary Randolph Carter's fab new book Never Stop to Think...Do I Have a Place for This... 

Total wowness as it explores the homes and hearts of 17 amazing collectors...among them my friends  

painter, Jennifer Lanne and antique dealer & designer, Stephanie Lloyd. 

I am totally smitten with the book, 

and I am ready to move into the homes and among the objects it shares...

Here's a peek at the You-Tube video Carter did to showcase her new book...and after you've had a gander...you can click here to buy the book from Rizzoli.

Hello to wonderful things...

Here are a few shots from the new Hudson Mercantile.  

The book signing event was hosted among its treasures from 

Stephanie and some truly love paintings by Jennifer...

 

Hello to new ideas for old things...

Hello cool old car sign... 

Hello to the odd and wonderful...

 Hello pillow, I think I love you...

 Hello sunshine on cool stuff...

 Hello and ROAR...I love old cement animals.

 Hello tribe of hens and chicks...

 Hello to lucky shutters....

 Hello to anything funky en masse...

 Hello wonderful petite landscapes...

 Hello Monday...

Hello to having a place for anything you love...

Hello to new friends and old and hello to sharing them all...

Never Stop to Think if I Have a Place for This...IN HUDSON!

...nice news to share...

The long anticipated opening of The Hudson Mercantile is hear...my friend Stephanie Lloyd has worked her magic in this renovated 7,500 square foot space in Hudson, NY...and my oh my it will be worth the trip...

Take a peek at Stephanie's blog post for some sneak peeks on this new space. She's got me drooling over cabinets, cupboards, hot air balloon baskets, big letters, small loot, ephemera and more...and 

...if you need an excuse to make the trip...

how about coming to the Book Signing party on 6/21?

  

I will be there to celebrate the opening of the store and wish my friend Stephanie Lloyd and Jennifer Lanne (who will have her paintings in the space too, woo hoo!) many congrats on being featured in this gloriously lush new book about adorned spaces and treasured objects...

Hope to see you there...

xxoo Jen
