“Lots of designers tell you to keep the counter clutter-free! Sounds nice right? It’s easy to do when hosting a party! However, for everyday living, easy access to things like fruit and paper towels are a MUST with 2 small children! I like to buy pretty pieces for my countertop that are also functional, and can be stored quickly if need be! Votivo Red Currant is one of my favorite fragrances, so I was thrilled when they came out with a countertop spray. Nice countertop sprays are a little treat, and a fun gift to give!”

"Smeg is new to the store, and I am LOVING the knife block set. It can be so difficult to find an attractive looking knife block, and I love the clean lines of this one. The quality is excellent! The hand mixer is next on my wish list. I have loved Lafco candles for a long time. They are now quickly turning into some of the best sellers in the store and we keep the stocked deep. Especially this champagne candle. A tiny candle from Lafco can make a whole room smell great. I like to keep a “back stock” of these in my home!"

"I love collecting Blue Italian for an every day pattern because it is timeless and durable. Also, this pattern offers so many fun serving pieces. I received this coffee pot from a friend for Christmas and it pretty much always lives in my kitchen. I have used it for a flower vase, juice for breakfast, coffee, tea, sugar storage and decorating! For some reason this is one of my go to pieces when serving with Blue Italian. I like to see how many ways I can use my favorite pieces!"

"Tobacco Leaf is hands down my favorite pattern ever. I love all the colors and details in it. When I received this soap dish as a Christmas gift from a friend a couple of years ago, I was thrilled. I wouldn’t self-purchase something like this, so to receive it as a gift made it 10x more special! I used it as a salt cellar for a few weeks, but it is too shallow for coarse salt. So back to pretty soap it is! She sits in my window by my sink and I get to enjoy the beauty every day!"

“I have loved Thymes for a long time! Our rep at market is one of the best in the business, and she keeps us coming back for more. You probably know and love Frazier Fir for holidays but did you know Thymes has an every day kitchen line as well? They have several clean and citrus scents with dishwashing liquids, hand soaps, and countertop sprays and more! I use these products mostly when I’m hosting, and not to wash dishes on a school night! I love them so much, and they last longer that way! This wooden pedestal is new to the store and new to my home. I like the idea of putting a small plant or a candle on it as well to add some dimension to your counter. “
