Spring is Here!

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Hey Everyone! I know, I know, its been awhile but we’ve been very busy lately taking care of a multitude of things we’ve been putting off all Garden Bench Bluewinter long. So, as the old saying goes,” spring ETCHED STAMPED DESIGN COPPERcleaning” here we go…. done.

 

Here in Las Vegas, NV, this is perhaps the best time of  the year with the temperatures in the 70’s throughout April. Now, as I type this, if only that darn wind would stop blowing already! My allergies are dragging me down and I’m into my 2nd box of tissues now, lol.

I attached a picture of one of our benches we are previewing now in the store. It so adorable; its called the “butterfly” bench and comes in several Spring colors like the blue shown as well as green, red, purple, and yellow. It is made of a strong and durable metal that can weather the outdoor elements. Add colorful pillows and a seat cushion and you’ve got instant seating outside in your patio or garden. Its a great bench to just sit outside on while sipping a cup of tea, coffee or your favorite drink:-).Moroccan assorted tea glasses

Shown here is a grouping of fabulous Moroccan tea glasses that are perfect for serving the country’s  famous mint tea. Think of creative ways to brighten up your outdoor sanctuary by scattering these glasses all around areas where you’re entertaining your guests. The brass tray top table (shown above) is the perfect thing to place these tea glasses on too. The brass has an etched appearance as shown in the inset and lends to a global inspired motif. If you’re ever in the area, please stop in anytime and say ‘hi” and browse around our store. Right now, we’re taking orders for these items and from now until April 20th if you mention In Every Corner’s blog, we’ll take an additional 20% off the regular price.

Let’s have a Holiday Party Moroccan Style!

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Let's Dine Moroccan StyleI recently had the pleasure of helping a close friend plan a holiday party. She didn’t just want the usual and common decorations that most people put out when hosting a holiday dinner party. Since Moroccan decor is colorful and festive, I suggested to her that she do a ”Night in Marrakech” theme and she was delighted. I told her that her guests would have a great time, the party would be a big hit and her friends would be talking about it the day after.

Moroccan Alfresco dining themeWhile in our store, In Every Corner, I recommended colorful Moroccan tea glasses with a serving tray and a silver teapot, several cool looking lanterns to create that exotic ambiance, layers of colorful beaded runners in vibrant tones of reds, oranges, magentas, and to serve the party food, a couple of tagines. A tagine is a Moroccan cooking vessel in the shape of a dome. There are ones that are used only for cooking and then the ones for serving. I recommended she get a couple of serving tagines as they are very colorful and would complement the rest of the theme. She Moroccan tablealso got a hexagonal table unique to Moroccan design to place adjacent to her dining table to allow guests more room to place things on. I sketched for my friend a layout of how to decorate and where to place all the things she bought. I also gave her a couple of Moroccan recipes to try….I received a call from her the next morning and she was so elated! Everyone asked how she came up with the idea to do something out of the box and compliments were flowing all night. I’ll spare you all the details of what went on at the party, lol. The tagine dishes were a big hit too!Serving Taginecooking tagine

Anyway, the point I’m making here is we all have it in us to stand out and express our creativeness. Try new things be it a new way to throw a party as described above or reinvent oneself especially in these times. Always stay relevant and insightful.
