PRIVET HOUSE BACKYARD SALE

Looking for a great way to spend a Saturday this summer?  I have a great idea- head north to Litchfield County, Connecticut.   This leafy & Laidback part of Connecticut is home to a steady supply of antique, gift, and food shops. 

My favorite by far is Privet House.   This shop has the best collection of everything from bath and body lotions to wonderful art and photography books.   You might just find the most amazing vintage Rolex you didn't know you had to have!  Not to mention - anything that goes on a table from service to  linens to candles - Privet house has it.

Design guru Richard Lambertson is the man behind Privet House.   The co-founder of Lamberston Truex spends weekends in Litchfield County and was inspired to create Privet house.   We are SO glad he did!   Business partner Suzanne Cassano is also the owner of Vol. 1 Antiques just across the way here in the center of the small town of Warren.   Cassano's background in home furnishings adds the perfect antique yin to Lamberton's  fashion design yang.   The outcome is a magical mix of amazing finds and items you will fall in love with.   If you happen to be in the area as a houseguest - you have found the perfect destination to buy the appropriate thank-you gift to your host or hostess.  There is so much more to see and say - stay tuned for updates on Privet House.

BIG BLUE TIFFANY BOX FOR LAMBERTSON TRUEX

A blue box from TIffany has been a symbol of the finest taste since 1837.   The tradition continues -as Tiffany & Co. announced they have acquired Luxury Accessory Collection - Lambertson Truex.   LT was acquired by Samsonite back in 2006 and while Samsonite is the forefather of American luggage - their forays in luxury have continued to fizzle-  think Samsonite Black Label.   (That collection was  launched by creative director - Quentin Mackay - a talented designer in his own right - but Samsonite could not  rise to the occassion).AUDREY HEPBURN IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S

LAMBERTSON TRUEX EXOTIC CLUTCHLambertson Truex is a chic collection with understated logo appeal that has been on the short list of luxe shoppers "in the know" for 10 years.   Design duo Richard Lambertson and John Truex have luxury industry pedigrees as long as your arm!  Everything they do is chic and subtle - but with a twist.  LAMBERTSON TRUEX BOOT

Many fans hoped Samsonite would have injected the funding to make the collection a household name.  Not so much.   Bravo for Tiffany- the legendary jeweler for recognizing the potential of another great American brand like Lambertson Truex!

I'm sure under the watchful eye of Tiffany - LT will flourish!   Maybe we can look forward to some super chic Tiffany Blue clutch bags??   Maybe a limited edition TLT collection?   Stay Tuned!!
