A beautiful morning

I just love it when you see something so pretty, so different that it really makes you stop.
That happened to me this morning when I was in Scarsdale for an interview at La Dentelliere at Home.
I got there a few minutes early, which gave me time to check out their window displays.
This just caught my eye:
It’s so simple — but so very beautiful, don’t you think?
The windows had some other pretty vignettes:
Anyway, I was at there for a story I’m working on for our Real Estate/Home section (and LoHud.com… and RNN, come to think of it.).
It’s a decorating story, focusing on bedding and linens, that we hope to run Dec. 29.
I had worked with Michelle Anderson, owner of La Dentelliere, a few years ago and this time around, got to meet her daughter Charelle who heads up La Dentelliere at Home, just around the corner from the original.
In addition to getting a tour of all kinds of European linens, I had the chance to see what else the shop carries — and there is quite a bit.
What a great resource for gifts of total luxury, from bathrobes to jewelry boxes, mirrors to pillows. There is also a selection of antiques, from figurines to 19th-century fashion illustrations, dotted throughout.
Here’s a quick look around:
And then there was something that I’ve never seen before — have you? — these great little gifts are part of a line called Le Patissier, creations of a Japanese company.
No, these are not edible — they are towels packaged to look like the finest bakery treats:
Quite an impact for the price (the ones I saw were $14 to $34).
La Dentelliere at Home is at 35 Popham Road. Call 914-725-2800. La Dentelliere is at 20 East Parkway. Call 914-723-2902.

Cute. That reminds me I need to finish my Christmas shopping. Still got a couple items.
Good luck out there- I have a story coming in tomorrow’s paper (and online) about local shops with great gifts for the last-minute shoppers – check it out.
