Thursday Thank You

Eliane in British Vogue

… to Eliane Fattal for showing us how to repurpose our grandmother’s jewelry in a fun and fashionable way.  This “tumble-haired London visionary” has the knack of turning 19th century brooches and tiaras into rings, earring and hair clips and now her “Metamorphosis” collection is available at the venerable S.J. Phillips in London.  While we wouldn’t say no to this beautiful butterfly, we’re holding out for the ruby and diamond bee we saw in Vogue!

So you thought you were going to get an Atlanta Gift Show recap!  While there are many marvelous showrooms at the AmericasMart, you won’t find the rare, vintage and coveted treasures displayed in Fiona Druckenmiller’s store, which opened to great acclaim last fall on Madison Avenue.

FD Gallery is the kind of place that leaves you breathless upon entering.  And it’s not just the intimate setting (Fiona was inspired by boutiques in Paris and Milan) that will have you coming back again and again.  This world traveller and collector changes the cases every month to reflect a carefully curated them.

One month Fiona will feature objects inspired by Egyptian Revival and the next, she showcases the whimsical work of artist Patrick Mavros, whose silver sculptures bring to life the animals of the savannah.  We love the fact that you never know what you may discover when you stop by this store –  truly a neighborhood “gem”.
