Shopping The Hampton Classic Boutique Garden & Stable Row

If you mainly want to shop, and get the ambience of the show, or you want to come twice, here are some tips!

Entrance is free on Monday!

There’s limited competition that day – just riders with disabilities finals.

It’s also ASPCA Adoption Day!

 It’s a great day to encourage friends to come if their focus is shopping as it’s no charge at the gate!

Another tip – if you bring 3 or more non-perishable food items on Tuesday or Wednesday, your whole carload will get in free. The donations will go to the Sag Harbor Food Pantry.

See my previous post for more info, and Like us on Facebook for updated news.

See you in the Boutique Garden!

Blue Dream

The Hampton Classic!

Some shows are definitely more fun to do than others, and The Hampton Classic is on the top of the list.

Located in the bustling Long Island resort area known as “The Hamptons”,  this is a very well produced upscale event.

The eye candy is amazing.

We will have our full collection in the Boutique Garden,

so drive, Jitney, or LIRR it out here, from this weekend sunday-Sept 1!

Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui

I slipped into Brooklyn on thursday to check one more thing off my list.

So glad I did.

I got to see the work of Ghanaian artist El Anatsui

These multi faceted voluminous draping and standing pieces transform rough metal waste such as tin can lids, bottle tops, bottle neck wrappers………multiples of found objects, into such warm and sensual work,  bring a whole new dimension to the possibilities of “green”.

The revelation came to him when he found a discarded bag of bottle tops, and has been using many hands in his home base in Nigeria to create these masterful pieces.

Ends today, at The Brooklyn Museum. Not sure if it travels.

Also on The Highline, thru the end of the month.

Like Buttah! Toshiki and Maryszka Shearlings Come to The Berkshires

We never like (& neither do our clients) light colored shearling in suede because of the care, but when we found this incredibly soft camel napalan finish with buttercream frosting, (I mean wool), we had to have it. The tannery in Spain delivered in time for us to make a few pieces, this slim swing trimmed with some new lambskin colors we purchased in France.

First showing this weekend in Great Barrington, Ma, at the Berkshire Craft Show , August 9-11

You can also purchase handbags from Dick & Dianne Muller, Michelle Lalonde, and shoes from Rob & Barbara Matthews!

Full list of exhibitors

It’s a very upscale show in a beautiful setting with lots to do in the area and great food to eat, so come and enjoy
