3rd Annual North End Holiday Stroll!

Join the holiday festivities on Friday evening, December 4th from 7pm-11pm when participating North End boutiques, galleries, and studios host the Annual Buon Natale Holiday Stroll along the streets of our historic neighborhood.

Get in the spirit of the shopping season with exciting sales and discounts offered by each stroll retailer during the event. This is a great opportunity to shop locally, support our neighborhood's small businesses, and enjoy terrific savings!

Enjoy light refreshments and seasonal entertainment along the route.

Validated parking for the Parcel 7 Garage will be available at selected locations.

As a special bonus, strollers can enter for a chance to win an amazing gift basket, brimming with delightful treats and gift certificates from the diverse group of stroll businesses. To enter, pick up a Stroll Passport card at any of the stores listed. Visit each of the shops and have your passport stamped at each location along the route. Return your completed, stamped card to any participating shop before the end of the night. The gift basket will be on display at The North Bennet Street School Gallery on the night of the stroll. Maps and passports are available at the shops listed below leading up to and on the evening of December 4th.

Swiss Army Blanket Chair

My favorite piece in the store might very well be this vintage swiss army blanket chair.
I LOVE the industrial feel of it mixed with the old army textile.

We found a mid-century Harter steel chair and reupholster the piece with the blanket's fun red stripe and patent seal.
How fun would this piece be as a desk chair?!

Chair retails for $315.

These beauties are all coming to the store next week.
The necklaces and bracelets are handmade using metallzed leather.
Definitely statement pieces.

Thank you!

Thanks so much for everyone who came out last night to the party. It was a GREAT showing and we were completely overwhelmed by the response!
xoxo, Nikki

Another Go-'Round for L.L. Bean

My heart nearly skipped a beat this morning when I read that Alex Carleton (creator of Rogues Gallery) will be designing a "Signature Line" for L.L. Bean. Very excited to see the totes and bags he'll be creating. If they're anything like the ones he's doing for Rouges, I'll be stocking up! (i.e. I want that last bag on the right!)

Shhhh....

Anyone know someone who is looking to open a shoe store, baby store or bookstore in the Boston area, please shoot me an email. (I have a hot little tip.)
And no...I am not opening a second store - yet.

Hollywood Back in Town

Ben Affleck is filming on our street all day today.
Stop by and tell him how much you loved Gigli. (I kid, I kid)

Wine Lovers - this one is for you!

One of our newest gems to hit the store floor is this LOVELY French riddling rack. The purpose of these racks was to aid in the process of making champagne. However, this rack would be perfect for holding your personal collection of wine.

The rack measures 61" x 36" and retails for $395.
