A to Z at the Palace: M is for Misfits & Max’s

By Cristin | Published: December 29, 2011

So M is for misfits-or mascots-like these weird friends I felt deeply compelled to rescue from languishing in obscurity & bring to the Palace. Why a particularly ugly ceramic Fu dog? Why a fat-bellied brass owl? I cannot say, but here they are, and I know in my heart that at some point they will [...]

A to Z : L is for Lace

By Cristin | Published: December 17, 2011

Lace-I never get tired of it. Used judiciously, in the home or about your person, it is a fine thing indeed.   These are for a girl with tiny hands, but so pretty with their little rosettes. They go a bit above the wrists in length, which I love.   Can you ever have too [...]

A to Z at the Palace: H is for Husky

By Cristin | Published: November 23, 2011

I am not kidding around here, people. This is a belt with HUSKIES on it. I think the only thing that could be cuter would be an actual husky puppy. What lucky girl is taking this home? It’s so adorable I think I have to go lie down.

A to Z: G is for Glasses

By Cristin | Published: November 23, 2011

As in, can you ever have enough at holiday time, and wouldn’t you rather have cute vintage ones? Because otherwise you’ll have to traipse out to IKEA & listen to someone’s adorable screaming toddler & be forced to eat a 50 cent hot dog for lunch & you’ll drip mustard on your shirt…ssshhh, it’s okay. [...]

Vintage fur, both faux and for-real, collars & coats & toasty warm jacket linings-we’ve got it. Your ticket to being glamourous & cozy simultaneously.

A to Z at the Palace:D is for Dishes

By Cristin | Published: November 12, 2011

Oh, I am a fool for dishes. The good thing is I get to find them and buy them and farm them out to new, loving homes and there won’t be mutiny on the home front (e.g., “Ma, we have too many dishes! This is crazy!”-from the Teen Dishwasher-Unloader. Anyway, we don’t even have THAT [...]

C is for Candles

By Cristin | Published: November 11, 2011

After spending a bunch of time trying to find someone who made candles in vintage vessels, I got a tip that a local candle company would hand pour candles in containers of your choice. Great news! I get to pick the vessels myself, but not spend time slaving over a pan of hot wax. These [...]

A to Z at the Palace: B is for BOOTS!

By Cristin | Published: November 3, 2011

The story is legend in my family of the Christmas I was two, when my mom had gotten my dad a pair of boots-probably very stylish hippie boots, for my 24 year old stylish hippie dad-and hidden them in my closet. I was sworn to secrecy not to tell him, but apparently keeping secrets is [...]

Hello, gorgeous.

By Cristin | Published: September 30, 2011

Through a series of magical events, this amazing blue velvet Victorian sofa is back for a repeat visit to Palace of Industry. I won’t go into all the details, but there is some serious mystique swirling around this lovely lady. Maybe you’d like to come drink a champagne cocktail in her embrace, or maybe you’d [...]
