Winter Wonderland!



Without warning (literally, we had no idea), we awoke to eleven inches of gorgeous sparkling snow on Monday morning! School was canceled and Laura, Deanne, Matt and I were stuck at home, running Giving Tree from the couch! Rachel and Judith to the rescue... they were here holding the fort down.

Beazie is definitely the biggest fan of snow, he just can't get enough (although he does love his nap breaks next to the wood stove). The garden looks beautiful covered in it and besides it being scary to drive in, I'm starting to finally embrace Northeast winters. HOWEVER, I'm still counting down the days to flip flops and weekends on the beach... 142 days to be exact. -Kristen

p.s. This weekend: GO PATRIOTS!! (and Tom Brady of course)

Our New York Adventure

Hello Friends of Giving Tree!! Matt here. I am so excited to tell you all about New York (my favorite city!!). For those of you who don't know, twice a year thousands of jewelry designers from all over come to New York to be part of a trade show at Pier 94. They display all of their new designs for us to browse for you! This year I was invited by Rachel to join her. What a great experience!! I had such a great time meeting many of the artists that we carry such as Alexis Bittar, Jessica Kagan Cushman, Saundra Messinger, the wonderful people of Dogeared and the girls at Jeanine Payer. It was so nice to meet everyone! After the show we had an awesome dinner! (THANK YOU RACHEL!!) It was a great experience and I hope I have the opportunity to go again!
