If the evolution of trends stays the course then we are likely to see coral moving into the mass market segments by next year and possibly the holiday season with the warm autumn colors expanding into winter.

Coral's Making a Splash
The latest issue of Elle Home Decor predicts that coral will make its way from the runway into the home. Branching patterns are woven into fabrics that take the form of tablecloths and curtains. Orange accent chairs have a smooth and natural, waterlike movement and walls are splashed with reddish hued paint.

Grey Gardens
If you haven't already seen the HBO original movie, Grey Gardens, I recommend that you do. The film is based on the lives of "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale, two charming eccentrics who were relatives of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. They led an interesting riches to rags life, ending up in almost total isolation in a decaying, 28-room mansion in East Hampton
While I was watching the film, I was enchanted by the decor of the mansion before the ladies ended up in squalor. The rooms were decorated in ornate, Art Deco style furnishings in rich purple and gold. This week's People magazine feature a snapshot of one of the rooms shown below.
I've mentioned time and time again that purple is a lead color in today's fashion and home decor trends. For a Grey Garden's style Christmas, look to our collection of matte gold ornaments, like the partridge in a pear tree featured above and tie it to your tree with rich purple ribbon.

Bo Knows
Although the First Puppy will be officially introduced tomorrow, the news of the new addition to the White House has already been leaked. Senator Ted Kennedy presented "Bo", a portugese water dog to the Obama girls yesterday, and apparently he is a hit with the whole family.
Animal organizations are already predicting a surge in popularity for the curly haired pups, but before you start the hunt for one of your own, you can learn more about the breed on Petfinder.org and look for rescue dogs while you're there.
The Obama family will be busy outfitting the White House with the necessary toys, beds and aceessories for Bo. Some of my favorite pet places to shop are GWlittle.com and FetchDog.com, where you can get everything from personalized pet beds to 14K gold dog tags.
For Christmas, we suggest the Obamas hang Bo's photo from their tree in our pewter hydrant photo frame, NEW this year, filled with bright red epoxy and inscribed with "Little Stinker".
You can get one for your dog too this Christmas at one of our retailers!

Off the Shoulder
Back in March when we reported on the Oscar's, we saw quite a few one-shoulder and sleeveless gowns on the runway. The single-sleeve gown trend appears to be growing in strength as shown by the photo spread from this week's OK magazine below.
Celebs are strutting down the runway in asymetrical gowns that emanate feminity. The difference between these dresses and those shown at the Oscar's is color. Ranging from hot pink to blue, with yellow and gold in between, it's clear that spring is on its way. The look is accented with delicate jewelry and strappy sandals.
From our collection, when I think of femininity, I think of our 3-Dimensional angel ornament with flowing gown and filigree detailed wings shown below.
This month, purchase her on our website and get FREE Shipping when you spend $50 or more.
