Heavenly Hotel Silver

February 2, 2023

Our vintage English hotel silver collection at Watson Kennedy grows and grows. We got so busy the last quarter of last year that a bunch of silvery goodness did not get photographed and added to our website. This is the week for it to happen! The pieces will be up on our site in the coming days. Utilitarian, gorgeous and meant to be enjoyed on a daily basis. Just last eve we hosted a supper and had many bowls filled with tasty treats for our guests from our personal collection. It all looks so spiffy when called to duty. They elevate even the simplest things like a bowl of cashews. All has been re-silvered in England before it makes its way to us, finding a home on the WK shelves, ultimately making its way to its new home. If anything catches your eye immediately, DM or send me an e-mail.

Everything Is Coming Up Roses

January 28, 2023

Back from New York and hit the ground running. The windows were in need of a Valentine refresh. I pulled up in front of the First & Spring shop early Thursday morning to Heather turning the green painted walls pink. Then an idea that has been germinating in my head for awhile struck. Let’s have the windows be a field of flowers. Within moments, I was calling our friend Jeanne McKay Hartmann to see if the idea intrigued her. It did! 24 hours later she was doing her magic painting the day away up in the windows. People were stopping all day snapping photos and taking videos. I did not want to hinder Jeanne’s creative process so I did not mention I had envisioned roses. The second she started painting I was outside looking in clapping and smiling from ear to ear. Kismet. It is what I love most living a life filled with creative & thoughtful friendships. Making dreams realities. It was the perfect start to a new year filled with possibilities, and for the moment, where everything is coming up roses.
