{Flower Friday} all about these waxed amaryllis bulbs that have become so popular the last few years. We have enjoyed them the last two Christmas seasons, and this year I found a gold dipped one to grace the dining table. At each supper we marvel at the beauty and how much it grows each day, excited to see the first bloom. This one has many weeks to go. Encasing the bulb in the wax must somehow lock in enough moisture that the amaryllis bulb gets enough of what it needs to create its magic. Happy first day of December everyone! X, T

As the celebratory Watson Kennedy 25th anniversary month of November draws to a close, I want to send out a big THANK YOU to all who made it so special and a great memory. We still have lots of commemorative totes as I ordered bunches as wanted them around for a good while. Here, one is modeled by our dear friend Elizabeth. Made for me by a family owned business in New Hampshire, they are a stylish workhorse. Perfect for a day out & about shopping. They also make a cool gift bag filled with WK treats! #Since1998 #PurveyorOfFineGoods At #WatsonKennedy™

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
