A taste of spring

February
19

Today just doesn’t seem as cold as I thought it would be.

I even found myself thinking about spring as I drove in to work.

It was a case of “perfect timing” since later in the morning, I had to pop down to Larchmont.

I wanted to stop by Decoration Day.

As I’ve been saying, we’ve begun this new “shop of the week” feature. This Thursday, as I’ve mentioned, I’m putting a spotlight on Awakenings in Katonah.

For next week, I’m going to feature Decoration Day. It’s been in the same spot for more than 20 years, owned by Susan Celestino. Her daughter Amanda, who also works there, gave me a little tour.

Even though I hadn’t been there in a bit, I was pretty familiar with what the shop features, especially its custom silk and dried-flower arrangements.

Still, I was surprised at just how lovely this one was, which made me want spring even more:

Here’s a quick look around the rest of the shop, which is filled with lamps and pillows, linens and soaps, jewelry and all kinds of lovely home accents:

Check the paper and LoHud.com next Thursday for this piece — or stop by Decoration Day, at 2076 Boston Post Road (914-834-9252), before then and see it all for yourself.
