Monogrammed Wine Glasses

We LOVE our new Personalized Monogrammed Glasses!  

Our new personalized glasses are so pretty and such good quality.  They are a nice substantial weight glass and are etched to your specifications.  They can be personalized with an initial, a monogram, or a name or words. 

I had the Tulip Shaped Wine Glasses shown here made for my home and I adore them!  They combine Gray and my initials in a traditional font.  I think these would make a fabulous wedding or engagement gift!!

These Stemless Wine Glassses have become our everyday glass of choice.  They are a perfect size and shape and hold a full 16oz!!  I think the casualness of the single initial monogram is perfect for these glasses!!

With eight glass styles available and many font and monogram styles you can design the perfect glasses to fit your style.

Cheers!

Rich Red Decoupage

Today I am loving Deep Rich Red Decoupage pieces. 

This Bird Decoupage Plate on Red Asian Toile is one of two plates featuring this luxurious Red Asian Toile and a gorgeous bird print in the center.  So Great! 

The first time I saw this Red Soldiers Tin Decoupage Wastepaper Basket I fell in love.  The color is rich and the design is simple and classic. This wastebasket would be amazing for a study or library.  

Finally, Our Provencial Print Frames come in a myriad of colors, but are so rich in Red And Creme. These frames can be personalized with a name, monogram, date or phrase. 

One fun idea for this frame is to use it every holiday season to hold your last year's Christmas card.  We love looking back at what we looked like a year ago!!

I love decoupage because it adds rich color, interesting pattern, and a personal touch to even the most generic of rooms!

Custom Cutting Board

We have some wonderful friends who are about to celebrate their 10th Wedding Anniversary.

Today I ordered a present for them.  I am sending them this Custom Cutting Board (D).  It has Scalloped edges, Classic Handles, and will have a big B right in the center. 

We laugh because the wife is such a wonderful cook we just want her to feed us all the time.  We are hoping that this will inspire her to prepare a special treat for us!

Happy Anniversary!!

Persephone and Gray

P.S. Our Custom Cutting Boards are Made In The USA to order.  You can view the entire collection Here

 

Monogrammed Needlepoint Shoes

Four long months ago I ordered a new pair of Monogrammed Needlepoint Shoes for myself. 

They just arrived and I LOVE them!!

Our By Paige Shoes and Mules are available as custom monogrammed shoes to be made to order with your initials in the colors you select. 

For this pair I chose a Black Background with Pink Initials and Pink Leather Trim. I selected the Circle Monogram Font.

I thought this would be a great combination to bring me into the cooler months while still being totally wearable with my summer things as well. 

Like all of my By Paige Needlepoint Shoes, this pair felt a little loose when I first put them on, but they have quickly molded to my feet and feel fantastic!!

Four months is a long time to wait...but these shoes are TOTALLY worth it!!!

Wine and Cheese

Looking for the perfect cutting board for cheese and crackers? 

I adore this Cutting Board Charger - 16" Round grape Rim Charger. 

The center Monogrammed 10.5" Cutting Board can be used with the charger or on it's own.  

The monogram adds a unique custom touch.  This is the PERFECT hostess gift to bring when staying with friends or to give as a wedding or engagement gift.

Just add some great cheese, a bottle of wine and a fresh baguette and let the party begin!

The Royal Wedding 2011

The Royal Wedding is just days away and Posie and I are getting so excited! 

I remember Charles and Diana's Wedding well.  My Mother and our Baby Sitter woke up at 4 am to watch the entire thing (I slept in a bit and then came down to join in the fun).  I remember Diana's lovely dress and her little brides maids.  I remember watching the long procession and I remember Diana flipping the order of Charles' long name. It was a real, live fairy tale and all three of us watched in awe.

I am very excited to share the experience of watching Catherine and William's Wedding now with my own daughter.  We plan to have tea and scones and I am sure we will be wearing something fancy! 

So Cheers to Catherine and William!!!  May this fairy tale have a very happy ending!

P.S.  C & W...Not to make you feel rushed  at all, but you know we need to get a picture to fill this frame ASAP!  The whole "Heir and a Spare Thing" don't you know...

 

Red Snowflakes Decoupage Picture Frame

After a long day of heavily falling snow yesterday, we are finally plowed out and back at the A&L Offices today.

It was a beautiful storm with big heavy snowflakes.  The kind of snow that kids love...perfect for building snowmen, forts, and the occational snow ball.  Needless to say, our daughter spent much of her day yesterday outside playing.

The final total was about 13 inches of snow for Portland, Maine. Seems once again our neighbors to the South got hit much harder than we did.  I have to say that I am so glad...13 inches of snow is pretty and not too hard to move.  More than 13 inches is a lot of hard work to deal with!

Happy Winter Everyone!

P.S. The frame shown here is the Red Snowflakes Decoupage Picture Frame which can be personalized however you like.  Really cute!!
