Juliska at The Arbour + A Special Offer



Starting this week, I will be writing a feature blog on one of our vendors.  It’s a chance for you to know more about the lines we carry at The Arbour and gives us a little refresher course, as well!  Yesterday we got in a shipment of Juliska, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to write about one of our top five favorite lines.

Juliska’s tagline is “Possibly the most beautiful tableware in the world” and I would have to say that it’s not just possibly, IT IS!  Since they have worded it so perfectly, the following is the information provided to us about their company:

“Juliska is a dynamic, design-led company committed to bringing European elegance into the modern home.  Our extensive collections of glassware, ceramics, linens and lighting reflect our strong philosophy of historical styling imaginatively updated to suit today’s demanding lifestyles.

The word ‘Juliska’ has now become synonymous with an entertaining and living attitude – enduring, romantic and always effortlessly chic.”

Our favorite thing about the Juliska ceramics line is that it can go from a freezer to a 500° oven and it’s dishwasher and microwave safe to boot.  Truly incredible and makes it just about the most useful line of dishes ever created.  Last year, Juliska introduced a metallic glazed stoneware collection that offers the same features as the regular.  Metal in the microwave?  According to Juliska, it’s a groundbreaking technique and looks great layered with any other Juliska you already have.  I’m really looking forward to starting my collection in the future.

Come into The Arbour and check out all of our fabulous Juliska pieces or put in a special order for pieces you want to add to your collection! 
Starting today until October 15th, we are happy to offer 15% off any Juliska purchase, including special orders.  If you’ve always wanted it, now is a great time to start collecting!

The Arbour's Favorite New Magazine



I was so excited when a person I was sitting next to on a plane recently told me about Lonny, an online magazine with the same feel as our beloved and now defunct Domino.  At first I was hesitant about an online magazine and how that would translate, but it is better than I expected.  

Living in a digital age, everything is so instantaneous and this is no different.  For instance, if you like the bedside lamp in the image, put your mouse over it and if a magic little yellow box forms around it, click it and it will practically take you to the exact source!  Truly incredible and uber-convenient when looking for things for design clients.  I really urge you to check it out, especially since the August/September issue features several women entrepreneurs.  Since The Arbour was started by a woman, we love it when women are given the spotlight.  Vicente Wolf is in there as well, but that's okay - we love him, too!

You can find Lonny by visiting the following link:  www.lonnymag.com
