Evening Purses

|

Beaded, embroidered, ruched, tucked, and otherwise fancy purses for dinner, evening, church, or just for show. Dress up an outfit, give as a gift; great for prom or a special bridesmaid gift. You might use one of these evening purses as a wrapping for a special gift, too, especially if you’re giving a check and don’t want to just slip an envelope onto the gift table.

The newest evening purse–a minaudiere in the form of a fish. (Will not hold an iPhone, unfortunately.)

Silver-colored minaudiere, with a chain strap, in the form of a fish with red glass eyes.

Dog Days of Summer: Songbirds

|

Perhaps it’s not surprising that we have birds. You see birds all over the store. Pictures of birds, birds on china, birds on glassware.

We’ve already posted about the barnyard birds–the chickens, pheasants, turkeys and ducks that people raise. Today, it’s wild birds, mostly small songbirds.

Stop by! Saving Grace will have dogs for you to meet, and we’ll have special prices throughout the store. Lots of fun, all day, August 24.

Dog Days of Summer: Dogs I

|

About time, you say? We’ve been posting about our Dog Days of Summer Sale and Benefit for two weeks now, and still no dogs. Today, we go to the dogs, and we will again before the sale. We have a LOT of dogs in the store. (We counted liberally.) Wouldn’t have thought it, without counting. Betty Dunham, our resident artist, helped a lot. She paints dogs.

There’s a dog in this picture. Can you find it?

Small ornaments, life-sized portraits. Dogs for your bookshelf, dog toys for real dogs, trusty Westies (say that three times fast!) to hold your business cards.

Stop by! Saving Grace will have dogs for you to meet, and we’ll have special prices throughout the store. Lots of fun, all day, August 24.

Take your monograms to the beach!

We caught these sun hats resting on the beach while their people took a dip. Aren’t they lovely? No doubt about which hat belongs to which beach beauty.
