I wanted to share with a few of my all time favorites and some of my new finds!  First, for those of you in the Boston area one of my new favorite shops is <a href="http://pinestrawshop.blogspot.com/">Pine Straw</a> in Wellesley! <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-5YQDWcGmwjg/TrWpMLWAUBI/AAAAAAAAHLM/Cw-3pclVfUY/s1600-h/PS%252521%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="PS!" border="0" height="396" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-i42m6MCqSEw/TrWpMdYcKXI/AAAAAAAAHLU/HJBYJTXrLJo/PS%252521_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="PS!" width="554"></a> This shop is decked out with cool architectural elements and walls covered in antique barn wood.  It is a perfect spot to find a unique hostess gift, or a great little home accessory. <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-YhLDZYNUqT8/TrWpMvsr1pI/AAAAAAAAHLc/2fu6ry3-0II/s1600-h/Tin%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Tin" border="0" height="404" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-iQ0tQWQyCCc/TrWpOKiMzmI/AAAAAAAAHLk/2T5EooXNk34/Tin_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Tin" width="404"></a> I love the new tin place card holders I just bought- <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hgCyF8pn0uA/TrWpOo-IcqI/AAAAAAAAHLs/gE2N5LsBNmY/s1600-h/wine%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="wine" border="0" height="399" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-yOALVgdE894/TrWpPI8gI1I/AAAAAAAAHL0/9bwnkpzEudg/wine_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="wine" width="404"></a> and the old glass doorknob that is a wine stopper,  but there is so much more!!

<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-pbi2HgUIxcM/TrWpStcc6FI/AAAAAAAAHMs/d1l9VhCFIUM/s1600-h/SW%252520BOOTS%25255B6%25255D.png"><img alt="SW BOOTS" border="0" height="297" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-CM2V617qeqQ/TrWpTWYEUCI/AAAAAAAAHM0/FTrLxnGXfCw/SW%252520BOOTS_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SW BOOTS" width="404"></a> You might remember Monika started her store with her wonderful Isla Jacobsen boots which I featured last year – read about them <a href="http://willowdecor.blogspot.com/2010/12/splendid-willow-launches-new-store.html">HERE</a>.  I own a pair myself, and following Monika’s keen advice I packed them for my trip last year to Aspen.  I wore them during Fashion Week and felt ever so cool and “in the know”! <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-p6eJsc4_gAc/TrWpThJSRWI/AAAAAAAAHM8/QBP2pM4R8pI/s1600-h/SW%252520Sheep%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="SW Sheep" border="0" height="451" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-6MCbbDiVjis/TrWpUO_p50I/AAAAAAAAHNE/8vLErZusRPw/SW%252520Sheep_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SW Sheep" width="404"></a> Monika has since expanded to home furnishings, like this awesome sheepskin rug. <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-2J677-jQjNI/TrWpUbKxbqI/AAAAAAAAHNM/S3aDcG_LyRI/s1600-h/SW%252520Duster%252520long%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="SW Duster long" border="0" height="451" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-lJCapp9I7wA/TrWpUgYLKtI/AAAAAAAAHNU/cpibCFWM7zA/SW%252520Duster%252520long_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SW Duster long" width="404"></a> But what is so exciting is Monika’s new line of clothes by JARBO  – Europeans have a high standards for quality and style and these clothes are really stunning. I just love the new duster  – Wear it one way and it’s a great duster… <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-YR9I_SDh7wk/TrWpUzSGO3I/AAAAAAAAHNc/fuLbWLBqmuE/s1600-h/SW%252520duster%252520short%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="SW duster short" border="0" height="451" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-geec6wolPek/TrWpVFqWUrI/AAAAAAAAHNk/todjI7LEAxc/SW%252520duster%252520short_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SW duster short" width="404"></a> Upside down and it’s a chic wrap.  Love this!! Monika’s style is classy, cool and hip.  <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3v4Bd2lYlLA/TrWpVopukCI/AAAAAAAAHNo/_SxI8PzomNE/s1600-h/SW%252520Tuck_dressOX%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="SW Tuck_dressOX" border="0" height="451" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-M3DMXEtfxu8/TrWpWCtmhUI/AAAAAAAAHN4/_9pIzEZbIh4/SW%252520Tuck_dressOX_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SW Tuck_dressOX" width="404"></a> I also love this dress – just stunning!!
