one of the reasons.....

What a good feeling to be greeted by this lovely bloom when I arrived to work this am.  Front door unlocked (check), rugs on the front line (check), front porch display (check), light bulb change (check), south room ...wait a minute!  turn the lights on and take in this apple blossom 42cm Amaryllis from our friend Dolf. Dolf calls us every July to review our successes, talk over new varieties and guarantee a bright winter with indoor blooms.
  This year Dolf held true to form and we are pleased we invested in the larger bulbs.  5 blooms on this plant now, with 3-4 more stalks on the horizon.  2+ months of enjoyment with this bulb now, and with care, more years to come!

What better gift for the holidays? 

but wait...this morning I enjoyed my latest purchase from our friends at Middle Kingdom.
This cachepot is the perfect container for many things including kitchen utensils.
Designed by Bo Jia and fired in MK's own kiln, this porcelain piece is a great marriage of form and function.
$38 for a household item fit for traditional to contemporary lifestyles.  More colors available.
Thank you Allison and Bo we love your beautiful collection!

Wish list ....

With each year we enjoy the season more and more!
How we prepare for our celebrations change as do our families.  Santa has a different ring this year and while we may miss some of last year's festivities, we have new activities to see and enjoy!

The wish list is always present!
At Mulberry & Lime we have now posted in the main hall.
All are welcome to post on this list.  Santa has been seen throughout the building and is taking care of his shopping as possible!

Baking will always be a part of our holiday fun.
Cookies are appreciated across all ages.
We have created a snappy ginger recipe that started with Martha and became quite delectable with a few sugary changes!

That said... occasionally we may need a little help from our friends!
Introducing our dear friend Jeanne Sledd and her wonderful spice cookies!  Jeanne's cookies just launched through Vermont Country Store and are available in Lexington exclusively at Mulberry & Lime!
Please come in and sample these wonderful cookies!
We can gift wrap with a Le Jacquard French tea towel for the perfect holiday gift.
Teachers, Hostess and Host, Mom, Dad, Grand and more!

Pajama Party Open House!

A great Saturday was had by all at the shop in early November.  Pajama attire was an option and we had good fun with all that arrived "dressed."

Popcorn, Rudolph, Cider, Coffee, Elf, Donuts, Flannel, Tots, Teens and beyond!

Early holiday shopping started as clients found unique items for themselves, family &  friends.
Enjoy our pictures here as we snapped a bit of the day!
