GAIL TOMA Pillows Available At Kitty Clay Main Street Southampton

Visit Kitty Clay’s and keep in mind  the power of the pillow.

Here at the Mainstay, a Southampton Classic Bed and Breakfast well over 100 years old, I had the pleasure to stage this home and add a few pillows from my collection.

The GAIL TOMA Vanilla, Sapphire and Blueberry Martini Ltd. Edition Silk pillows added just the right splash of color to this previously all white and grey historical living room.

 

GAIL TOMA’s Martini Pillows in The Mainstay Southampton NY

With 32 colors in each palette the Martini Pillows added just the right warmth and splash of color to pull the accenting accessories from art and books together.

This jewel of a B&B in Southampton has a long history and its’ owner Elizabeth Main has stylishly maintained this for the last 24 years.  A great place to spend a holiday.

“Elizabeth Main has owned this charming Southampton home for over twenty years. The house which goes back almost 200 years has been lovingly restored to capture the easy country elegance of the old days of Southampton.  Mainstay is the longest run private Bed and Breakfast in Southampton.  The home is on an acre of property on historic Hill Street and within walking and biking of the glorious world famous  Coopers Beach and elegant shopping on Main Street and Jobs Lane. Shinnecock, Sebonac and National Golf Courses are approximately one mile from the property which has a 20×40 in-ground SALTWATER pool and 1/2 acre perennial gardens.   Mainstay has been featured in Good Housekeeping’s June 2001 subscription issue and ON THE JITNEY magazine issue , today the country home is used as a summer house for extended families during the season as well as still inviting guest on occasion for off season with limited availability. ”

Mother’s Day

 

Celebrating Motherhood…

Flowers, cards, phone calls, Mother’s Day is around the corner. Mother’s Day celebrations extend beyond honoring your mother and/ or being a mom. We can thank Anna Jarvis for establishing this holiday that was officially launched in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson in the U.S.

Jarvis intended this holiday to be one of ‘remembrance’ and one celebrating spiritual motherhood.  Her intent was to honor Mothers, the act of mothering, and spiritual institutions.

She became highly disappointed by the holiday’s evolution into one of commercialism that she came full circle and she became an activist to end Mother’s Day. She was actually arrested for protesting at a Mother’s Day Carnation Sale….

I however think she makes the world pause for a moment to remember amazing women and acts of empathy.  I raise my glass to Anna and thank her for making the world  a better place…

My memories of Mother’s Day shopping began like most young children.  My homemade cards were joyously received and more than my mom could ever want for. When I got a bit older, and would ride bikes around my neighborhood on the North Shore of Long Island I would find the remnants of yard sales or early spring cleaners. Two great gifts came directly from some of the nicest houses in the neighborhood. One was a large gold gilded framed mirror and the other a large wooden frame for a canvas. The mirror just needed a bow and the frame was the inspiration for a still life painting I painted for Mother’s Day. I was over the moon with these finds.  Of course my mom thought these were just amazing. Once I got a bit older, shopping trips with my Dad to New York and going out for lunch made our shopping trips really special.

For me, I have come full circle and while it is my turn to receive those so those treasured hand made cards I must admit I do not turn down the gifts.   But by far, my very favorite mother’s day gift so far is a construction paper painting of my son’s foot print turned into a key chain.

For those of you new to Etsy I have added my line to this exciting great shopping platform where you can find truly unique gifts for special occasions like this.   After searching high and low for a ‘ special and unique gift for a friend’ and coming up empty, I went online. I had never considered Etsy for my own collection (women’s accessories, apparel and home furnishing accessories) because I didn’t realize the extent of the work featured. After discovering this site myself,  I feel honored to be amongst such good company.

If you are going shopping and are wondering what to give…for Mother’s Day…

If you are shopping in my shop and wondering what might be a great mother’s day gift…my first thought is something just for her!  So any of my scarfs from ‘Classic to Glamour Collections’.  They are all about celebrating women and what they love.  The floral scarves are ideal gifts in lieu of flowers, a Martini Scarf to celebrate the occasion or Chics or Essence of Style to celebrate all the women in your life!  Check out some of the patterns below.

I invite you to visit my shop and enjoy the 20% Sale on GAIL TOMA just in time for Mother’s Day.

Each GAIL TOMA product is packaged in its’ exclusive signature perfect for the holidays in a timeless Lime Green and Black. No need for Gift Wrapping this Holiday Season with GAIL TOMA Signature Packaging.
