in the kitchen...

I will be the first to admit that I don't belong in the kitchen.  I am not a cook (lots and lots of kudos for my husband who is) nor do I pretend to be.  Yet, I carry many kitchen-related merchandise in my store including cutting boards and serving bowls.  And from time to time, I feel the urge to bring these beautiful pieces home and cook. 

One of my favorite kitchen items we have at the gallery is a line of pewter measuring spoons and cups by Crosby & Taylor.  They can be hung on your kitchen wall or put on the counter with one of their clever, coordinating pewter stands. They are decorated with motifs such as birds, bamboo, and dragonflies that are sure to make you smile.  These cups and spoons will definitely make your cooking and baking time more fun.  They will also make a perfect gift for that chef in your life :)  

Bon appetit!

 
 

Will you marry me?

Yesterday was my twelve year wedding anniversary.  I married the love of my life and best friend at an outdoor chapel on a gorgeous day in Camden, Maine.  And on my finger was a lovely platinum wedding band by Anne Sportun.

Twelve years later, I still adore my band with sprinkles of diamonds.  Over the last decade, Anne's bridal collection has evolved with many engagement ring and wedding band options for today's couples.  And guess what?  The collection is finally at the dmg!

The gallery's Anne Sportun bridal collection includes eighteen engagement ring mountings and ten wedding bands that can be ordered in 14k white gold, 18k yellow gold or platinum.  The rings are simple and elegant ~ timeless, yet contemporary.  And no worries; we can help you find a diamond or a colored stone {e.g. sapphire} to set into the engagement ring too.  

So if you're ring shopping in the near future, we'd love to show you our collection!

Hope to see you there :)

Pequea Valley Forge

I'm not much of a candle person.  Probably because one of my friends had a candle fire in his dorm room when I was in college and it scared the bejeezus out of me.  But I am quite taken by these candle holders by Pequea Valley Forge and the candles by Barrick Design that we carry here at the gallery.  So much so that I actually ordered one for myself :)


 


Made from recycled iron, each candle holder is hand-forged by Alabama artist Al Stephens.  Al offers single, double and triple candle holders to suit your style and need.  The work is rustic, yet contemporary and look beautiful with the colorful Barrick Design candles on them.

What time is it?

 

Just received a new line of time pieces called WeWood.  They are stylish, reasonably priced ($120-$150) and eco-friendly too.  The watches are made of 100% natural wood and are absent of toxic materials.  They come in a variety of colors from blonde to black in woods such as maple and rosewood. What's more, WeWood is partners with American Forests and plants one tree for every watch purchased.

It's been a while since I've worn a watch, but WeWood definitely makes me want to wear one.  You'll probably see one on my wrist soon :) Be fashionable and "green" at the same time with WeWood time pieces!

drink in style

We drink everyday, so why not do it in style?  Whether it be water, lemonade, champagne,     or a shot of vodka, using beautiful, hand blown glassware would make your liquid taste even better, don't you think?

We have an array of drinkware at the dmg: the shot glasses (left) by Hudson Beach Glass that come with a cute glass tray, the tumblers by Tom Stoenner (below) with playful swirls of color, and

the beautiful champagne, wine, and martini glasses by Rosetree Glass, one of our best-selling line of stemware!  We just got these colorful margarita glasses by Will D'Errico in too that are just to die for :)  

 


So come in and see what we have to offer. Drinks not included :) CHEERS!

Shopping in Sin City

Just got back from Vegas after attending a couple trade shows in search for new jewelry to represent at the DMG.  Yes, it's a tough job, but somebody has to do it ;)

It's was a fun, successful trip.  My new finds include a beautiful collection of gold and two-tone necklaces and earrings by Jane Bohan (right) and a line of customizable handmade charms by Page Sargisson (below). Page creates these great calendar charms that allow you to commemorate a special date. You can combine it with her other charms of numbers, letters and constellations too.  


 


Super excited for the launch of these two new artists in the fall!  Also picked up more engagement rings and wedding bands from Anne Sportun and MaeVona.  Stay tuned for the new arrivals!
