Meet the Team - elsie green

Meet the Team

What makes Elsie Green special is our people. We've got a few former corporate executives, a floral designer, a former interior designer,  a vintage collector, a teacher and a high school senior. 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.

Our Favorite Brunch Recipes - elsie green

Our Favorite Brunch Recipes

We love a brunch.  And December is a good month to stage an impromptu brunch.  It's cold outside, so light a fire, put on your favorite Christmas playlist, make a cafe au lait and settle into the kitchen to surprise your people with some new favorites.  You can try one of our recipes, or create a whole menu with them.  Your choice.

Elsie's Library | Winter 2020 Reading List

As a team we are a group with an extensive reading list. The Elsie Green gals love filling our extra time getting lost in the pages of a book we can't put down. On the packing table, or in the photo studio, we talk about books, movies and music all day. 

Our winter reading list is a selection of classics that continue to pique our interest time after time.

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 - elsie green

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.

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.

Cheers! | Champagne Coupes - elsie green

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.
