Portmeirion – Botanic Garden

cbbe96a29a8eef2b29b93537c588dbd9Hi – My name is Kimy Stewart and I have a dish fetish.  I know…I know…. there could be worse things in life than a dish fetish.  So let’s just roll with it baby.  ::::::turning cartwheels:::::

One of my VERY favorite patterns is Portmeirion Botanic Garden.  Introduced in 1972 it’s a favorite of many.   The appeal of this patterns hits so many different levels of ‘like’ for me — let’s see.  They are colorful and interesting.  You’ll find insects and flowers all different from piece to piece.  A true British classic. They are whimsical and make me want to eat scones and crumpets immediately and talk like Queen Elizabeth all day.  They are the creation of Susan Williams-Ellis who used early 19th Century illustrations as inspiration for these delightful dishes.  She was born in Surrey England – a completely magical place I’m certain.

Now go make me some scones.

Duncan Phyfe Furniture

FullSizeRender (2)

Duncan Phyfe style is a very specific taste.  I happen to like many of Duncan Phyfe styles.  Furniture is a very personal taste.  I get many clients who have Duncan Phyfe pieces that have been passed down from prior generations and they feel guilty for not feeling attached to the pieces even though they are family heirlooms. Life is too short to keep something because of ‘guilty’ (that’s a very Southern trait by the way – lol).  I tell people to sell it to someone who will ‘appreciate’ and love the piece.  Screw guilt.
