The beauty of quince, which our friend Sarah gifts us each year at this time. A much loved tradition that graces our dining table, the scent pretty darn heavenly. Also, a tiny glimpse of the lit tree. I love mini tabletop trees! At #TheGainsborough

{Ted’s Tip No. 460} Leave special photos out as part of a tabletop grouping. No frame necessary. Or frame if you like. It is fun memory for you to look at often when you walk by the image. Here, an old photo of me with my brother who slipped this in a recent card he had sent. It sits on our dresser top and I see it when picking out socks for the day. —from the daily blog post at TedKennedyWatson.com

To me, a life well lived is about savoring the moments. Small and big. That absolutely relates to how I shopkeep—it is all about the moments. How does a customer feel in the space? Someone I admire tremendously recently told me that in public speaking, folks often don’t remember what is said, but how they feel. It has always been my goal that customers feel transported when in the shops. The sun has been shining ever so beautifully brightly today, so I snapped lots of vignettes and moments. #TheLifeOfAShopkeeper #PurveyorOfFineGoods At #WatsonKennedy

Let the festivities continue! Two celebratory days await around all things Watson Kennedy today & tomorrow. Our next Holiday Open House of the season is at our Pike Place Market shop beginning 10 o’clock this morning running throughout the day until 5:30, continuing Saturday too. Mimosas & sparkling apple cider will be poured, music will fill the air. The shops are absolutely brimming with ‘just the right gifts’ to start your shopping and check a few or many off your gift list. Our 25th WK anniversary celebrations continue. Stay tuned throughout the day for posts and reels with giveaways. We are filled with so much gratitude. We have thrived all these years because of you—our kind, stylish, beyond wonderful customers from around the globe. It really has been and continues to be one incredible adventure with all of you. A million THANKS for all the love & loyalty shown to us over these last 25 years. The first giveaway is a raffle. It is for a $500 custom Watson Kennedy Care Package made just for this event. Simply leave a comment on this post about your favorite shop experience, or a few words about a beloved WK item you enjoy. One entry per person. Hope to see you in the next few days at our 86 Pine Street location in the courtyard of the Inn at the Market. {Both shops open every day from 10 to 5:30 until Christmas Day} #WK25 #PurveyorOfFineGoods #Since1998 #WatsonKennedy™
