Silver and Aqua Sparkles

A tiny, sparkling village greets customers as they enter our shop. Silver and aqua create a magical winter wonderland that can remain on display long after December 25th.

Even Max and Stella were wiped out after the late night of deck -ing the halls with The French Hen staff. Time for nonny-nu nu.

Jasmine Tea by MOR

Jasmine Tea is a really light clean fragrace. The cologne bottle even comes with one of those squeezey balls to spray on the fragrance....so gloriously girly.

Baby it's (going to get) cold outside

We just recieved a lovely selection of gloves and hats. The gloves are the kind that make me long for the colder weather. We have soft fingerless gloves in gorgeous colors like baby blue, cream, scarlet and pistachio. I have a prediction... fingerless gloves are here to stay, for awhile anyway. They are great for those chilly days that don't quite threaten of frostbite, for when you need to find your keys, sip your tea or paint a masterpiece. We have some fantastic "opera-length" gloves (full fingers) that are adorned with four delicate little buttons. The long gloves are great for the cape-wearing fashionistas. The shop is lush with product. Christmas is only 2 months away. We will be fully decked-out with glitter and sparkles by this weekend.

Bonjour

I am in love with Juliska

Getting new product at the shop is always fun but today, my goodness, I died and went straight to heaven. You see, our first shipment of Juliska arrived. For those who don't know, Juliska is beautiful glass that is mouth-blown in the Czech Republic. It is stunningly simple and fabulously ornate. It, like all of the lines I (try) to choose for the shop, can go traditional or contemporary. The pitchers are what every host needs for the dinner party table. The mouth of the pitcher form a heart; perfect for the newly engaged or the couple married for 30 years. When I say I love this stuff...I want to fill my whole house with it! Covered canisters in the powder room, a large hurricane with a candle on the dining table, and ooh those lamps! Please come see for yourself, you'll fall in love too.

Wedding and Shower Gifts

The French Hen is well stocked with fantastic gifts for the bride and groom. We carry beautiful tabletop lines like Vietri and Mariposa. The Vietri serving pieces are a welcome addition in any kitchen, long-established or brand new. You'll notice that on every cooking show the food is plated on Vietri. It's all handmade on the Almalfi coast of Italy. Vietri has a gorgeous hand hewn rustic look. Mariposa, which is sand-cast aluminum, works with both traditional and contemporary decors.

Troll Beads

The French Hen is now carrying Troll Beads. Many of our Pandora customers have made the request for Troll and we responded. Troll is in and we are loving the beautiful glass beads and the amazing intricacy of the silver beads. 2006 marked the 30th anniversary of Troll Beads which was started in Scandinavia and are inspired by everyday life, mythology and fairy tales. Troll Beads manufactures their beads using sterling silver and 18 karat gold, natural pearls, precious stones and Italian Murano glass. Troll beads are designed by some of Scandinavia's finest artists. The many different symbols, flowers, animals, zodiac signs, colors and materials offer an endless variation and combination choice letting you create a bracelet that fits your personality! Switch just one bead or be bold and begin with a collection. Troll beads can be worn on a silver or gold chain as a bracelet or necklace!
