It was that time of year.  4 years ago, I started bringing Jillian on my summer buying trip to NYC. Usually we make our trip about exploring all things new in our favorite city. This time we decided to shake it up a bit. The little shopkeeper and I rented a convertible and enjoyed Long […]

I still remember the first time I opened the door to Daisy’s. Of course a business is not as important as your children, but a small business, especially a small retail boutique, is such an absolute expression of who you are and what you love along with much of your time (sometimes all of your […]

I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in every aspect of love the same way Anne Shirley lived every moment of her life, and Dean Martin sang about so often.  My mom spent much of my childhood looking for true love.  I was worried it didn’t really exist for years or maybe it was just in […]

Last year Home Accents Today named Daisy’s one of its 50 Retail Stars of 2010. This year they did a feature about Daisy’s and I thought I would share it with you. Here is the link: Home Accents Today, Retail Profile. I haven’t even touched the magazine yet.   Since you know my love of magazines, you can imagine […]

So much progress was made yesterday in the quest for amazing stuff.  Didn’t take a ton of pictures but I am super excited about the new companies I found.  Friday night was my annual dinner with the girls.  A bunch of us from a retail blog I belong to go out and have dinner.  It […]

Please join us, Thursday, November 4th, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. for Daisy’s open house celebrating the holiday season.  We will be closed November 1st – 3rd to prepare for this big event. This years theme is Home for the Holidays.  Every year I try to think of the different meanings of the season for […]

Before we embarked on our day, Michele and I went on a scouting trip to make the final list of stops.  Of course before that I did what anyone would do and scouted the internet. I went to the website for High Hand Nursery. The pictures were lovely but I had been fooled by pictures before […]

Welcome to Horton Farm. A quick trip down the road from Auburn to Loomis lies the type of place you see in a documentary that seems to move at a different pace than most. In reality, I can only imagine that it is just as busy as any other. The farm is run by Doug […]

Sunday was our first road trip. More than 30 of us jumped on an American Stage Bus and road in pure luxury to Auburn, CA.  We took this mini adventure because one of my customers, a lovely lady by the name of Michele Abrate suggested it to me.  She is not only a world traveler […]
