There is a shop in Westport, Connecticut that won my heart and its name is Dovecote (such a lovely name in and of itself—a home for doves). It has beautiful thick, letterpress business cards in scrumptious shades of robin’s egg blue and lime green. It has more goodies for the home than one could ever imagine—true decorator’s paradise. There are cowrie shells, starfish, velvet leopard print pillows, lucite coffee tables, vintage brass ashtrays… I never could walk out empty handed—even if all I could afford was a straw basket or little purple sea urchin. Albert Hadley shops there. No really, he does. That alone makes it magical… Sigh… I miss you Dovecote. Hope to be back soon.
