summer porch

 Welcome to my summer porch.  Have a seat and a cool beverage.

 In the evening, I light up a strand of sparkly lights.

 These are my new pillows from the marvelous new shop, maisonette in Hastings-on-Hudson.

The solid backing is a gorgeous green.

 The wonderful shop owner Maria made this lumbar pillow for me which I love.

 Here is a sneak inside the shoppe, maisonette.

It just opened a few weeks ago and I am so delighted to have a store like this nearby.

 My daughter fell in love with these comfy paisley chairs.  We have our eye on a few other items to add to our own maison.

Another J.McLaughlin shop has opened in Newport, R.I. so if your travels take you to Rhode Island, please pop in and see what lovelies are in store. Certainly a befitting location for preppy clothing with a twist. Please pardon my "gray" scan, experiencing some technical difficulities for the technically challenged (that would be moi) have presented themselves in an untimely fashion.
Planning to stay close to New York City, then how about a day trip to one of the burroughs, a new J.McLaughlin shop in Brooklyn. Just look for the charming red shop. Summer is all about red, white, blue and what's new! All J.McLaughlin stores are located on the web site, along with sweet online postcards that you can send to your friends with little messages like, "wish you were here!" Happy Summer shopping and sailing.
