Once upon a moonlit walk through the gardens of Chateau Villandry, we spied charming little frogs peeping out from the ponds. Did we kiss one? We’ll never tell—but we were inspired to create this whimsical cuff with a hand-carved natural aventurine frog in translucent green and a lily pad in mother of pearl. Trimmed with sparkling amethysts and an orderly vine of leaves at the midline and with a scalloped silhouette, this golden bangle is fabulously unique, feminine and fun—sure to spark conversation at any cocktail party or formal affair.

Celebrating Home is an entertaining-focused book that celebrates just what makes celebrations special! Plates and patterns, flowers and food, stemware and silver…and, most importantly, the blessings of each passing season and the observances of the graceful small joys that truly make our lives big.
Each season is a salute to nature’s bounty, a family’s heritage and the undercurrent of love we share. Commemorating each milestone or minute with that love is a true delight. Whether a birthday, holiday or a significantly insignificant day, may we always long to be at home – honoring the times we share there, treasuring the traditions and generations represented therein, and rediscovering the joy our homes and gardens bring to our lives.
