Introducing Our Wrendale Designs Shop
We’ve become enchanted by the original watercolor artwork on Wrendale Designs by Hannah Dale. You may have seen it pop up in various departments. But now we’ve gathered all of our Wrendale cards & stationery, baby & infant apparel, socks & accessories—and new items to arrive soon!—in their very own section outside of our Atrium Café entrance.
With a background in art and zoology at Cambridge University, Hannah Dale is inspired by the wildlife and nature prevalent in the countryside of Lincolnshire, England. Stop by to appreciate this artistic collection in person—we dare you not to become enchanted, too.

Fahlo Bracelets
Every Bracelet Tracks a Real Animal.
When you purchase a Fahlo stone-beaded bracelet, you’ll receive access to an app that tracks the animal in the wild! Plus, a donation is made to a wildlife conservation organization.
Fountain Candles
Enjoy the calming glow of candlelight and the soothing cadence of a bubbling fountain at the same time. A collection of LED fountains in our Gift Gallery look like wax pillar candles with a tiny spout of water that flickers like a flame. They’re battery-operated and come with a remote for turning on and off or setting a timer.
See fountain candles in action in this video at our Facebook page.
Everything New from Nora Fleming
With the most complete Nora Fleming collection around, you can count on us to have the latest and greatest new offerings from Nora, like the Maple Cracker Round and Cheese Board. Both are made in Vermont by the talented craftspeople at J.K. Adams.
Get your fall Minis! We’ve got them all, from spooky to sweet.
Welcome to the Christmas Conservatory
Our elves have been busy transforming our Conservatory into a wonderland of Christmas. Our holiday collections feature traditional hand-painted figures by Jim Shore (pictured), collectible Byers’ Choice carolers, and Possible Dreams Santas with original personalities and authentic detail.
When you see something you love, don’t hesitate to buy it because it may not be here when you return.
Countdown to Halloween
You’ll have the cleverest kids around when you treat them to a Halloween countdown calendar from our Stationery Dept. Each day in October, they can open a door on a colorful Halloween scene to reveal a spooky joke or riddle.
We’ve also got a great selection of Halloween & autumn-themed puzzles in stock—just add a cozy beverage from the selection above for a perfect fall evening at home.
Roger la Borde Stationery
Roger La Borde is a very British and very unique brand founded by sisters Alison and Jenni in 1985. Together they built the company on a foundation of creating unusual and beautiful things on paper.
Daring design has always driven their collections of journals, notecards, writing sets, and gift bags featuring the work of stylish, independent artists—some fresh out of school. They don’t follow trends; they set them.
Boo-tiful Décor
Halloween is upon us in our garden collections. Find seasonal yard flags and stakes in our store and in our front yard & garden.

We have plenty of offerings on the more feminine side, too. Michel Design Works always delights with beautiful new seasonal scents and artwork on soaps, lotions, and home fragrance.
