This Small Business Saturday, I want to take a moment to celebrate our incredible team at Town & Sea, along with the many wonderful small business owners who contribute so much to our community. We are indeed the champions, my friends!
As the holiday season twinkles on the horizon, it's time to think about turning our tables into settings of elegance and tradition. Imagine adding a touch of magic to your festive gatherings with the exquisite Antique Fitzhugh Porcelain collection offered on Town & Sea’s Reserve. It's not just about setting the table; you're setting the stage for unforgettable memories.
This week, Anna and I were photographing The Summer "Drop," our first "Drop" for Town & Sea, filled with unique pieces at fantastic buy-now pricing.
A Captivating & Beautiful Blend of Art and Science. This recent discovery of Clarissa W. Munger's botanicals seemed like the perfect opportunity to delve into the fascinating origins and history of botany and, thus, botanicals. This study was initially used to determine whether different herbs and plants were edible, poisonous, or medicinal.
Some Tips to Revitalize Your Furniture and #makeityours! Ah, the transformative power of a makeover! Let me tell you about the magical world of reupholstery and refreshing.
Being a collector is not what you think. Don’t worry; every shelf doesn’t have to be filled to the brim, and your house will not become a hoarder's mess. Collecting can be as simple as charms on a charm bracelet, your son's baseball and Pokemon cards thrown in a drawer, coins, and stamps in a book, or it can be as grand as a vintage car collection.
As we gear up to celebrate another Earth Day, I am reminded of one of the first Earth Day events I enjoyed. It was in NYC’s Central Park on April 22, 1990, with my soon-to-be husband and a collection of lifelong friends. It was sunny, it was Sunday, it was a perfect day.
After earning my Master’s Degree in Education, my dad, who owned an auto body shop in Greenwich, had a heart attack. One of my favorite customers asked me to refinish his wrought iron patio furniture with car paint. I thought it was a challenging request, but it turned out successful! 
An olive jar may be a concept that is new to you. What is it? Why do I need this? What will I use this for? So let me start by asking you this question.
What is now a commonplace and standard amenity for almost every home in the United States may be a newer concept than you imagine. It was only in the post-World War II era that patios became more popular and affordable for the average American homeowner.
We are so excited to be hosting this beautiful “Collected Cottage” collection on Town & Sea. Your style is impeccable, and it’s truly an honor! What do you love about Town & Sea’s online marketplace for estate sales? And why choose Town & Sea to host your sale versus a traditional estate sale or tag sale?
It is hardly a news flash that Hermès, as a brand, will forever stand the test of time; their Birkin and Kelly bags have literally become their own economy. But recently, I have been introduced to another category within the brand, Hermes Maison and these items had me at Hello or Bonjour if you will. I am currently on season three of Astrid, so good.
In my mind, the year started off with a Polar Plunge at Tod's Point (say it every year, yet to plunge), then back to work at Town & Sea with our very exciting announcements that we will not only be re-launching our new and improved online auction site for pre-owned home decor but also formally announcing The Reserve, Town & Sea's consignment services.
