Colder weather is knocking at our doorstep here in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. October comes with gorgeous autumnal hues that inspired our showcase collection. From Vases and Pitchers crafted in England to Le Jacquard French Linens, this showcase remembers warmer weather and channels our inner animal, inspired by fall colors and the wildlife around us. 

Handmade Pitchers

From the heart of the safari and hand-crafted in England, this Lion Pitcher could be the perfect addition to your pride. The iconic color of the lion is exactly what draws us to its friendly warm face, hand-painted by artisans. Sturdy and durable, the pitcher is chic enough for display and tough enough for everyday use. The collection has seven different animal friends for you to collect such as the Black Bear, Fox, Zebra, and more.  These stoneware pitchers hold a generous 13.5 fluid ounces and are a perfect match for any juice, cream, or syrup. No matter which you choose to take home, these are sure to put a smile on your face. 

Deer head Utensil Holder and Vase

One of the more show-stopping sights you can spot while out for a walk during the fall is seeing a stag in the woods. Now you can have a stag of your own right in the comfort of your home. This Vase and Utensil Holder elevates the mundane into a fun, but elegant, addition for any kitchen, dining room, living room, or guest room. Guests are sure to love the numerous ways to make antlers for your new addition. Try pairing the ceramic head with flowers, twigs, or even pasta. The possibilities are endless and it’s so easy to make this piece your own. 

Planche Animaliere Safari by Le Jacquard Francias 

Since 1888, Le Jacquard Francais has been a staple for quality in linens and this 100% Cotton Kitchen Towel is no different. Inspired by Scientific Illustration, the Plance Animaliere Safari series offers realistic renditions of African Wildlife. The colors remind us of warm cinnamon, crisp fall leaves, and the warmth of the African Savanna. The Planche Animaliere Kitchen Towels come in Orange (pictured), Sun, and Sand. These are easy to clean with the capability to be machine washed and dried, for a soft, fluffy almost terry-like texture.  As you hunker down for the fall, carry a touch of the wild-side with you with these Le Jacquard Francis Planche Animaliere Safari Kitchen Towels. 

We love all that autumn brings to us in Virginia....cool air, colorful leaves, lots of social events around the county with family and friends. It also means more beautiful linens from Le Jacquard Francais are arriving in the shop. You can purchase the new 2015 collection here on our website. Here is a sneak peek to get you going!
