A bountiful cake table. Try a slice of something new?

My apologies for this rather blurry image, but if you click on the link below you will see a super sweet wedding, captured beautifully by the talented Mr. Gareth McGaughey. We love his work & we like his style.

Doll. A term of endearment.

‘Hey Doll’……. it’s gotta New York kinda swing to it?
This gal came my way over the course of the weekend. We had a BLAST together at the ROSSNAREE SUMMER FAIR.

She surfed a turtle over the lawn and landed in my lap. There was Paradise Cake everywhere!
‘oh the joy’!

We are most honored to have the work of New York City decorative artist, John Derian, available for retail here at the Brown Hound. Derian along with a small atelier of artists, utilizes color reprints of 18th- and 19th-century images from his vast personal archive and pieces them together under glass, often in combination with reproductions of antique calligraphy. The result is a growing product line including plates, vases, trays, paperweights, cachepots, wall hangings and desk accessories. These handmade decorative items are showcased at Mr. Derian’s quirkily atmospheric retail shops in New York City & now here, exclusively at Brown Hound.
