With Easter less than a week away, now is the time to start thinking of this year’s tablescape. Here are 4 simple ways you can elevate your table settings to delight guests of all ages.

1.) Serve With Floral Polish Pottery

Set your table with Polish pottery plates, mugs, bowls, salt and pepper shakers, coffee creamers, and butter dishes in one of our exclusive floral patterns. Each stoneware piece is hand-painted with highly detailed motifs that extend the beauty of springtime to the table. Can’t choose just one? These patterns mix and match beautifully! Here are a few of our favorite floral patterns for Easter:

Wild Hydrangea

Rose Garden

Daisy Field

2.) Sip With Colorful Drinking Glasses

Bring whimsical color to the table with our hand-blown drinking glasses from Italy. Each one is handcrafted from molten glass that is rolled in colorful glass chips to create the unique designs. Each style comes as a set of six, and guests will love having the ability to choose their favorite color or pattern.

Copper Confetti

Neon

Originale

3.) Display Flowers In A Handcrafted Vase

Opting for a real floral centerpiece this year? Choose from one of our hand-blown or hand-painted glass vases from our glass masters of Italy, Poland, and beyond! Each one is an individual work of art that is sure to brighten up your table.

Murano-Style Confetti Glass Vase

Dancing With Rainbows Hand-Blown Glass Vase

Nature’s Grandeur Hand-Painted Glass Vase

4.) Invite A Few Bunnies

No, not real bunnies. We’re talking about our Polish pottery figurines! Each one is hand-shaped from stoneware clay and then hand-painted with blooming flowers to bring an element of old-world, traditional craftsmanship to the table. We can already see them hopping along your table runner…

5 Fashion Tips As You Transition Your Style From Winter To Spring

With March comes anticipation for the bright and beautiful styles of spring – pretty pastels and floral prints, light and airy fabrics, vacation-ready sun hats, and so much more. Here are 5 tips to consider as you shift your everyday style from winter to spring.

1.) Swap out wool hats for straw

A hat is the finishing touch to any outfit, no matter the season. In the winter we opt for hats to keep us warm, while in the springtime we use them to shelter from the sun’s harmful rays. Gear up for spring by swapping out your warmer wool hat for one made of straw. Did we mention that most of our straw sun hats are packable? They maintain their shape after being packed away, making them perfect for travel. Check out a few of our favorite straw derby hats, straw fedoras, and packable straw sun hats:

The “Claire” Straw Derby Hat

The “Macy” Straw Derby Hat

The “Cassandra” Straw Derby Hat

The “Lesley” Straw Cloche

2.) Pile on some floral prints

Spring is a time for celebrating new life, so it is only fitting that most spring fashion prints are inspired by the rebirth of Mother Nature. Start incorporating pretty floral prints into your outfit to add a bright and beautiful spring flair to any look. An easy way to do this is with an artisan-made scarf! Here are a few to get you started:

Elizabeth’s “Sunny Afternoon” Scarf

“Hydrangea Bouquet” Cotton Scarf

Elizabeth’s “Flower Market” Scarf

“Cherry Blossoms” Silk Scarf

3.) Treat yourself to a new artisan-made handbag

We think any woman who carries a handbag can agree that there is no better feeling than starting fresh. Let’s be honest….our carry-alls sometimes end up quite literally carrying all of our non-essential, extra stuff. Spring is a great time to start fresh by treating yourself to a brand new artisan-made handbag in a springy color or print. Here are a few of our latest:

“Morning Tulips” Tote

“Catania” Italian Leather Crossbody

“Rose Garden” Hand-Beaded Clutch

“Bardini” Italian Leather Handbag

4.) Opt for lightweight layers

“In like a lion, out like a lamb.” The month of March is a time of transitional weather, beginning quite cold and ending mild and pleasant. For all of us here on the Connecticut shoreline, it is a time for dressing in layers that are easy to remove if the day shifts from chilly to warm. Kimonos, wraps, and oversized scarves that double as shawls are great for this! Check out our latest pieces of apparel that are ideal for layering:

Aqua Pull-Through Wrap

“Colors At Play” Kimono

Elizabeth’s “See You At Sunrise” Kimono

“Leopard Jungle” Italian Silk Scarf

5.) Accessorize with jewelry inspired by nature

Complete your spring outfit with jewelry that embodies the most notable signs of spring – butterflies, dragonflies, and flowers. Our latest collection of handcrafted jewelry includes springtime pieces for every woman’s style. Find yours now:

Pastel Rainbow Crystal Dragonfly Necklace

Pastel Rainbow Crystal Dragonfly Earrings

Rose Of Sharon Murano Glass Torsade

Florentine Butterfly Brooch

Florentine Butterfly Earrings

Christina’s love of nature is a life-long passion, sparked by happy memories of tending her parents’ flower gardens. Today, she paints luminous flowers “as if they are growing out of the ground and onto the glass,” to be enjoyed all year round.

CTHPSTORY

Inspired by the beauty surrounding her home in Northern California, Christina creates her exquisite, limited edition hand-painted vases to bring the beauty of nature indoors. Each stunning glass piece is hand-painted in a dual technique with white Christmas roses and holly painted on the exterior and the gold background reverse-painted onto the inside of the glass.
