Hi Friends, How are you? I do hope you’re ok. Me, I’m ok. Pretty good, actually. Other than fantasies of never leaving Tuscany when we visit there this June (I am SOOOO excited, it has always been a dream!). Just staying in a warm safe happy non-toxic bubble with good and simple food and wine...Read More

    Hello Friends, I’m back from the Las Vegas Home Show, totally inspired and ready to incorporate some really wonderful new merchandise into the store. I found myself longing for a larger showroom to showcase all the beauty!   As you may know, Saffron and Genevieve has reached a 10-year milestone. This special anniversary has given me...Read More

Hi Friends, First I have to thank you and maybe say you are welcome, the response I got from my post on terra was overwhelming and I so appreciate you letting me know it meant something to you.

In 1998, I started my journey to gather knowledge so that I could open a shop exactly like mine. In 2005, I finally quit all those educational but stressful jobs...Read More

Many of you may not know this, but I LOVE to do color consulting in your home or business. It’s my thing, I see color, I can visualize it. I’ve done it since I was a little girl, and professionally since 1998. 95% of the time the colors come to me so clearly, the client is...Read More

Hi Friends, Well I knew it wouldn’t be forever, and I must have had a feeling since I began purging this month, but I have to move. I’ve had 2.5 years here and I do love it so but I firmly believe that change is good and that everything happens for a reason. The search...Read More

That’s right.  It might seem a completely random thing to do, but it’s been a long time coming, even if I didn’t know it.  I was laying in the hammock on Monday, day before my birthday, dozing in and out, and it occurred to me to just do it.  I have gone by other names...Read More
