Store Stylin' with Wendy Umanoff

Styling a store takes know-how. Karen is doing a fantastic job at Roxie Daisy, but she is being smart and not taking any chances; she's bringing in one of the best stylists to help out. This Saturday, Wendy is coming -- and I will be taking notes....or at least in my head; I don't want her to think I'm weird.

Wendy Umanoff

from Richmond, VA. is a stylist and lamp designer who has made a national and international name for herself.

Here are some of the way-good lamps Wendy designed -- perfect when your space needs that industrial edge:

I can't wait to meet her -- and learn a thing or two!

Catching up on my blog reading this weekend, I was so happy to read that my blog-friend, Kellie has followed her dream and opened an online shop.

I hope you take a minute to check out

~ CURIO ~

(don't you love the name?!)

Kellie has outdone herself -- read all about her fabulous launch party and the invitations that she had made. (Ahem, acrylic invitation with malachite-paper lined envelopes?! A girl after my heart.)

Sea-fan coral looks amazing in this flower arrangement, yes?!

gorgeous!

So...what can you find in this new shop?

From art, to gorgeous jewelry, and of course things for the home, you will find amazing and unique items. I have pulled some of my favorites from the site to show you.
