Painting mackenzie childs style

Have you seen the new Mackenzie - Childs catalog? Every page is full of gorgeous eye candy. I love the whole Courtly Check line. Every single piece!! You can describe MacKenzie - Childs products as gorgeous, fabulous, beautiful, unique, original, definitely high quality. Affordable, budget friendly, inexpensive???

A brief history of the "Courtly Check."

Have you seen how much those MacKenzie-Childs topiary urns sell for? $800!!! This is a budget-friendly way to get the same look.

Get the perfect engagement ring, made just for you.

When I visited Martha's Vineyard last year with my friend Joyce, we stopped in a few shops in Vineyard Haven. I went into the most delightful shop, and there on the shelves were beautiful pieces by Mac Kenzie-Childs. I loved the checkered teapots and the whimsical designs found on the furniture. I was enchanted. Years ago I had read an article about these two creative souls, but I never made the connection. The article was in the book, Where Woman Create. I only know that when I walked into…
