Sitting is Style

Our favorite little upholstery vendor has some new styles.  We have been doing business with BSC for about 10 years and every time we see them the greetings get warmer even as their company grows bigger. Their humble little family company knows how to do things right.  All pieces are made in Los Angeles and constructed with the highest of furniture making standards. And their collection of upholstered or slipcovered occasional chairs, sofas, love seats and sectionals will catch your eye in a flash and make you fall in love.  

They've also got a few new fabrics up their sleeves. Our favorites, of course, are the vintage linens and now in soooo many colors.

Here is a taste of our favorites. For pricing, sizes and fabrics please visit us at The Purple Rose.

Despite the warmer weather round these parts, bare tree branches continue to remind us that we are in the midst of the cooler months of the year. Although the idea of these nature dormant times can make us gloomy, there is still much beauty for us to admire.

This simple Winter Tree Marisa Haedike is a simple reminder of just what that beauty can be. Oopsy Daisy art is now not only for the babies.  Green Box Art and Wheatpaste now offer pieces for the teens, tweens, and adults connoisseurs.  Stay tuned for more additions on Purple's website.

Antique Eloquence

We have always loved the crystal pendants from Eloquence Inc.  And I will always remember the year we had the 7 foot Eiffel Tower, to match, all lit up in the window for the holidays.  We can still be reminded of that beauty with these spectacular lighting pieces.

First Holiday Gift Guide




Super Soft Bamboo Pj's and & Sheepy Fleece Bathrobes from Pine Cone Hill. We just love how well they wear and wash. Breathable bamboo makes sleeping at night a breeze. Cuddle up by the fire in this plush robe while sipping tea or hot chocolate. Available in Pebble, Plum, Juniper and Twilight. We think that Annie Selke really knows what's going on when it comes to loungewear.



This new clutch from Spartina 449 is the cutest little thing. The Silver Dew pattern is a medley of blue/grays and golds.  Inside there is a mirror and the whole things is trimmed in real leather. We like to say if Coach and Vera Bradley had a baby, it would be Spartina. See it in Sarah and Gracie patterns too.

For the little cuties on your list we have the sweetest organic baby clothing by Finn & Emma. Made in Peru under fair trade, these pieces fro your little girl or boy come adorned with scooters or flowers.  Choose from jackets, onsies, rompers or separates. Because the cotton is grown organically and colored with eco friendly dyes, you can check of the green baby on your list.



And for the new mama or mama to be, who doesn't want to be seen with a stylish Petunia Pickle Bottom Cross Town Clutch.  Passage to Persia is a sassy mix of plum and dark pink.  The embroidered emblem on the front ads texture and the changing pad with wipe case inside ads convenience.  Could you be any cooler with this under one arm and your stylish organic baby in the other.



Mariposa offers the best hostess gifts aside from Rossanna (see below). Their recycled aluminum pieces won't tarnish and can be warmed in the oven up to 325 degrees. Pieces like this Believe statement tray are a simple option for the hostess who has everything. Choose from Napkin Boxes, Serving Pieces and Holiday specific. At least one person on your list should have Mariposa.



Rossanna's table and giftware are so unique and versatile, we love having them back on our table each year.  Rossanna uses whimsical art and concepts like the 12 days of Christmas, A Walk in the Forest, Chocolaterie and vintage Happy Christmas. All items are neatly packed in a beautifully decorated giftbox and ready to give. Rossanna is made from refined porcelain and can go in the microwave and dishwasher.

Bella Notte Beauty Sleep


Our favorite bedding line of the moment and almost always, Bella Notte Linens.  A luxury bedding that is machine washable, absolutely beautiful, and unique. So much to choose from like quilted velvet or linen, and whether you prefer soft ruffles or piped edges Bella Notte has a look for everyone. We like the jacquard stripe in Dawson and the velvet trim on the unfinished ruffle of Allysa.  To the softness and versatility of Adele's organic cotton, nothing compares.





Oh, and the patchwork Sophia throw, to die for
