Have you noticed that the big necklace, aka bubble necklace, is all the rage? And let's face it, it's likely a fun but fleeting trend. That is precisely why picking one up at The French Hen for under $30 is brilliant.  Just in from NYC we have a great selection. Pop in for a pop of color.

Welcome to my little blog for the little store in Essex, CT called The French Hen. The shop is lush with a carefully curated mix of wonderful items that every girl would love...fragrances, lotions & potions, cards to send that will be saved forever & ever, decor for your home that make your space uniquely yours and so much more! really...even more! I hope you pop in for a visit some day soon. I would love to see you.

Ok, some cool stuff is coming down the pike. Firstly, The French Hen is going to participate in Child and Families "Interior Inspirations" Boutique on Friday, Oct 26 thru Sunday, Oct  28 .We will be among several vendors including Jo Malone Fragrance (a fave!). Go on the house tour and visit the boutique, it's a great cause and inspiration will be abundant! Details here: http://www.childandfamilyagency.org/event/interior-inspirations-2012/

We will be having some trunk shows right at the shop with hand selected artists. These meet the artist shows are scheduled in November and December. Very excited some photos of the work to be featured is below.

Also, something big is returning to Essex on Thursday, November 15th....Shhh, can't say more just yet. It isn't "e"-z keeping this secret. ;)

Come and get it! There is some pretty nice scratch and dent stuff on sale at the hen. May not be giftable but totally cool to keep for yourself...a mariposa tray with a scratch...it's gonna happen eventually. Use it for your next soire... I guarantee, money-back and everything- no one will notice the scratch! Happy Sunshiney day!

I have a lovely and brandy-new greeting card line at the shop...sacredbee. They are by Pamela Zagarenski. The cards, like Pamela's art are absolutely charming. Pamela's people and creatures appeal to anyone with an ounce of soul, young or old. She has illustrated more than 25 books for children and has her own new book coming out soon called "Sleep Like a Tiger". Back to my same old message...how wonderful to get a piece of mail, to be thought of. Sacredbee is my new favorite way to let someone dear know that they are on my mind.

Here is more of her beautiful work...love.
