Meet the Team | Kelsey

Meet the Team | Kelsey

What makes Elsie Green special is our people.  We've got a few former corporate executives, a floral designer, an event producer, a former accountant, and a vintage collector.  But we're all shopkeepers at heart, manning the packing table, giving our signature brand of extraordinarily personal service in the shop, traveling the French countryside looking for pretty things, and playing with the merchandise all day.  

Meet Kelsey, our Director of Marketing and Partnerships.

When the Sun Crosses

When the Sun Crosses

The seasonal transition between winter and spring may be our favorite.  The vernal equinox occurs when the sun crosses the equator moving from the southern towards the northern hemisphere. Each day after the spring equinox, our days are filled with more light and feel seemingly longer.

The History of the Crapaud Chair

The History of the Crapaud Chair

The Crapaud Chair originated as part of the Second Empire style, often referred to as Napoleon III style in the mid 1800s. The style was known for being highly eclectic, combining both historical and modern elements in a new, and innovative way. One of the primary principles in the interior design of this era, was to leave no space undecorated, maintaining a strong emphasis on colour. In this case, less certainly was not more.

The History of Brass

The History of Brass

Brass is a metal composed of both copper and zinc. The ratio of each of these metals to each other determines the shade of the brass, as it varies from a dark reddish-brown colour to a white-silvery yellow.
