Firefly is feeling FOXY

 I am feeling FOXY, so needless to say, FIREFLY is too.   These are handmade by a Brooklyn artist.  We have different color backgrounds, as well as horned owls.  $54.00 each.

Firefly is FIFTEEN

Firefly is Fifteen and Fabulous, I might add. Can you believe it?  I know everyone is chopping at the bit to see some photographs from the wedding that I recently did, but there is  buzz that it might be in  a National Magazine, so I have to hold off for a little while.  I will share something soon, as it is in my Drafts.  There are just so many TALENTS to thank and links to add...
ONE particular talent that delivered the most fantastic meal for this Southern Wedding was Hugh Acheson of EMPIRE STATE SOUTH, Five and Ten, and The National.  I have known about Hugh for a while now, we share friends... Once I started thinking  "bigger picture" for this wedding, I immediately thought of Hugh.  I emailed our brilliant friend in common, Lisa of Hawthorne House, and literally within the hour, Hugh had emailed me.  By the next day, he had emailed a gorgeous menu, and the rest is history.  I NEVER had to STRESS for a second over the FOOD or the service of the FOOD.  Hugh, I thank you and your amazing TEAM for that.
Please join us at FIREFLY, Friday, November 18th from 4:30 to 7:00, as Hugh will be signing his cookbook,  A New Turn in the South.  He is bringing some yummy treats that I will tease you with, in the following days.  His cookbook is as witty and smart, as he is.  Although a Canadian transplant, he is also nice as a Summer day is long, and  very easy on the eyes.  This Cookbook and This Man are the perfect pairing!   Rebecca Wood of R.WOOD Studio, will be returning with a batch of one of a kind pieces!  Hugh and Rebecca are also friends and have been featured together numerous times, so again a perfect pairing.  I  have a few tricks up my own sleeve, for Firefly's FIFTEENTH Birthday BASH, so please join us!

 FRIDAY, November 18th
          4:30 to 7:00pm
   125 South Broad Street
   Downtown Thomasville

 P.S. -  Call us and we will be glad to have Hugh sign, and we will ship it to you!  Bring your Christmas list, as this will make a great Christmas Gift.

Cheers,
Nan

Snapshot

You may or may not know, but my personal blog is www.warrenandlove.blogspot.com .  It is right over there on my Blog List.   I am trying to be better about this blogging, as I do enjoy it.  It is more of a time thing, than anything, as I know we can all relate.  Anyway, I wanted to point out the obvious, about the blogs. On my personal blog, I will be posting images with a word or two.  We use to have a great quote on our back wall, at Firefly:

In my backyard, they burn peepholes in the night,  and take snapshots of my house. 

( describing fireflies, if you have not had enough coffee) 

Anyway, I will be posting "snapshots" of Firefly, because I know we are all so busy.  I want Firefly and Warrenandlove to be a quick source of inspiration and beauty period.  Best, Nan

Summer Love

Hey Guys-  I hope everyone is having a laid back summer so far... Albeit, not a COOL one.  I thought I would share  some of my favorite SUMMER items currently in the store.  The first order of these, sold out in two days.  We just got more in.  I think this is perfect bowl for watermelon and cantaloupe balls, plus blueberries. At $8 each, you have to buy several!

I love these hand-made, out of spun cotton, animal ornaments.  We will keep these

year round.  What a perfect ornament for a baby/1st Christmas.  Can you imagine

 a whole tree with these on them.  We have foxes, raccoons, whales, owls, etc...

These bird soaps are super cool too.  The black soap(made out of bio-diesel glycerin) eventually washes away to reveal a white ceramic keepsake bird, that is inside the soap. Half of the profits, go to help animals affected by the BP oil spill.  It smells amazing.  I brought a carload back from a recent trip to NOLA.  Great City!

With the bounty of summer vegetables, I am loving this new cookbook, available at Firefly.

I plan on cooking out if it tonight, so I will report back to you!  Anyway, this is a great read and all vegetarian, which I didn't realize until half way through.  It is the most creative cookbook that I have seen in long time...

Is there a prettier way to stay hydrated?  I love these and apparently everyone else does too.

This is a great wedding present.  My parent's have the same one that they received, when they were married 44 years ago.  I love the new updated versions as well. We are expecting a new shipment in a couple of weeks, but still have a nice selection.  Made in the U.S.A. since 1893.

Have you seen my NEW window?  Talking about PRETTY SUMMER FANDANGO!  Thanks again Jackie. Some of you may or may not know, but I am planning a wedding this Fall(NOT MINE), which I am so excited about.  The creative process is just what I needed to balance everything out.  The time I use to spend "blogging" is now spent on this wedding event.  It has really gotten my creative juices following again and I have found so much inspiration, that I look forward to sharing with you AFTER the wedding.  The cute bride did forward an image though, that just really cracked me, and reminded me not to get my panties in a wad, so I am sharing it with you...

What fresh hell is this mess?  I don't know even where to begin to shred this, and I almost feel so sorry for them, that I don't want to. Almost, being the operative word.  They look like  a cross between Peter Pan's Lost Boys and a Gay Pride Parade gone BAD.  The bride is beautiful too.  What a -----!  Now, if she is marrying another woman, then please accuse my potty mouth. Then it is just lesbians, with bad taste, and I am O.K. with that. Best, Nan

sneak peek

As you all probably know, I use to work for R.Wood, and we have been friends for decades now.   I also have been selling her wares for almost fifteen years!  I am still totally in love and obsessed with her pottery.  Well, she just sent a "sneak peek" of a special batch of dogwood, made only for FIREFLY. It is in the kiln, as I write this...If you would like for me to call you when it arrives, so that you can have first grabs, email me. nan@fireflyhome.com.  It is a GRAB Fest folks, let me tell you... Don't forget to include your cell phone number.  Enjoy this glorious day, Nan

coolness

Just in from Australia, are the coolest fabric decals ever.  You can reapply them too. Pictured above
are the minis, which are great for laptops,ipads, lockers, or a special nook.   I simply adore the large
ones below for a kid's room or a nursery.  We have the range of choices too, from pirates to dress-up
girls, to woodland critters, and dinosaurs!  Of course, we will be glad to ship to you.   Best, Nan
