We believe in poetry, picnics, and piñatas. We believe in arranging fresh flowers unruly like an English garden. We believe in adventure and traveling the globe, be it to Marrakech or Malibu. We believe in mixing lucite with oriental rugs, thrift store finds with heirlooms. We believe in handwritten thank you notes, better late than never. We believe in needlepoint, letterpress, decoupage and forgiving Martha Stewart. We believe in piggy banks and cookie jars. We believe in book clubs full of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Austen and Woolf. We believe in recycling our Grandmothers’ names. Eloise, Jackie, Faye… We believe in marrying the boy that writes us the best love letters. We believe in highly competitive board games—Chess, Scrabble, Chutes & Ladders. WE BELIEVE IN CLASSICS, SHAKEN + STIRRED.
