Babcock Gifts celebrates its 50th birthday in 2024. The bridal registry and gift shop opened in 1972 as a partnership that included interior design. In 1974, with the exit of one partner, the store focused on antiques, gifts, and bridal registry. Over the next 42 years, there would be growth into two stores before downsizing to one. In 2016, ownership changed and the store moved one block down, where it continues to be a destination for bridal registry and gift-giving. With the constant doom and...

New Vietri Cucina Fresca At Glassworks!
August 3, 2023
Cucina Fresca, meaning Tuscan Kitchen in Italian, is inspired by the Tuscan landscape: the warm color of wheat, the rich red earth, the fresh greens of nature, the soft creams and whites of clouds, and the cool blues of skies and streams. The classic shapes are reminiscent of 14th-century pottery, and the lush glazes and raw terra cotta edges honor the essence of Tuscany. Stop by Glassworks to get a rustic, handcrafted authenticity to your table!
Thanks to Susan Gravely for a wonderful event ...

I chuckled when I was asked to author this column, as I have been known to have the last word from time to time. As I prepare to leave the industry that has given me so much (I eagerly accepted the opportunity to work in the gift and home area in 1986), I can vividly recall the excitement I felt when I first entered the creative space that we get to live and work in every day. I have been exposed to scores of creative people; I met and worked with artists and buyers who were inspired and ...

Elegant, Sophisticated … and Wild
November 17, 2021
"Sophisticated elegance" is phrase that one trend-spotter used to describe the SIERRA MODERN Python Trays from Beatriz Ball.

The sensational trays in gunmetal are enlivened by richly textured snakeskin surfaces set off by polished gold-tone handles that hug the edges. The pieces look gorgeous on the bar and bring a sense of luxe—and a touch of the wild--to any environment.

Food- and dishwasher-safe, decorative, and also perfect for serving, the piece adds a modern new ...
