All of us at Elsie Green are collectors at heart: we love to gather pretty things that make our house feel like a home. One of our favorite things to collect is design books. Not only do they look beautiful on your coffee table or stacked up next to your bed, but they are a constant source of inspiration. Whenever we need a fresh idea or just to look at something beautiful, we can always turn to our design library.

It's officially sweater weather. A fresh sweater haul is the perfect way to welcome the cooler days ahead.

In France, we don't have Thanksgiving. So when we celebrate it here, we're creating our own version without the weight of tradition telling us what it should be. A beach picnic on Thanksgiving probably seems unconventional to Americans. But for us, it captures what we understand the holiday to be about: gratitude, gathering, being in a beautiful place with people we care about.

As November settles in, we’re thinking about the table—the soft light, the quiet layers, the little rituals that make everyone feel welcome. This month’s Elsie’s Eight is the anatomy of a Thanksgiving table: the simple pieces that do the heavy lifting without fuss—linen you want to touch, brass that catches the candlelight, a vessel that makes a handful of stems feel special, vintage flatware with a story.

Two billion pounds of pumpkins end up in landfills every year, so instead, here are some options we're considering for our seasonal gourds.

It's witchy season! Here are the autumnal tunes our coven of shopgirls are playing on repeat this season.

Rain has a way of rewriting the day—in the best way—so we dress for it. A good rain jacket keeps the silhouette clean and the mood easy: matte finish, a hood that actually works, pockets for keys and a lip balm.

A little love letter to Tokyo.

We’re sharing some of our go to products for this soothing little skincare ritual just in time for fall, when our skin could use a little extra love.

Our favorite holiday of the year deserves a beautiful place to be celebrated.  This year we packed up our collection of vintage stoneware, antique transferware, blown glass tumblers, and vintage silver and moved into The Buehler Estate.  

As the air turns crisp, there's no better time to settle in with a great movie that feels like sweater weather and captures the spirit of fall.
