| photography by andie furber |
Here at Elsie Green, we’re suckers for a good glass of wine. But when coupled with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and good atmosphere, we’re in love. Scribe Winery in Sonoma is a favorite amongst the team here, and many of us have even joined their members club.
Le Dejeuner de Noel
Some of my well-traveled American friends and my European friends embrace a concept that I often forget about: the Christmas lunch. It's a simpler, more casual version of a dinner party, and often has a smaller guest list than a Christmas party.
Relax!
On the runway to what is the ultimate entertaining holiday, we have a choice: we can stress out or we can relax. I choose relax.
Nap Time | Napkins for Your Thanksgiving Table
An often-overlooked detail of the holiday table is your napkins. Textiles are the best way to soften up your table. We love to try out different ways to style our napkins, because we believe it's all in the details.
Kelsey's Fall Floral Guide
We asked Kelsey what her favorite autumnal flowers are, and she delivered. Take a scroll through for Kelsey's fall floral guide and some beautiful photos she picked to inspire you.
Set a Farmers Market Inspired Table for Your Next Gathering
Create a tablescape that includes natural decorative elements from your farmers market haul.
Cheers! | Champagne Coupes
Thanksgiving is meant to be a time to sit back and relax with your loved ones, hopefully with a festive cocktail in hand. I don't think there is any better vessel for your negroni, Bailey's on ice, or good old fashioned champagne than a coupe.
Meet The Team | Andie
Meet our operations assistant, Andie. She is a bright ray of light in the shop and our go-to gal for book recommendations and reviews. Prior to joining us at Elsie Green Andie was living and teaching in Lyon, France.
Meet the Team | Laurie
Meet Laurie, our Founder and Creative Director. Laurie spent many years as a corporate executive, but much prefers working on the shop displays, editing photos, and shopping the French countryside for treasures.
Elsie's Library | Fall 2020 Reading List
We can't wait for the temperatures to drop so that we can curl up on the couch with a cozy throw, a cup of tea and one of the books from our fall reading list.
Dinner In The Redwoods
What are your weekend dreams made of? Ours are made of glamping, all of your best friends and a delicious dinner served in a redwood grove.
Meet The Team | Michele
Meet Michele, our Operations Manager who keeps the packing table humming, helps with design projects, and lends her impeccable taste to displays in the shop. Michele always has a book recommendation ready, and shares the Elsie Green team's quirky taste in music.
