Get Them While You Can!
Feather headbands are one of our super hot commodities, and right now we have a great assortment of color and pattern options. Reasonably priced at $33, these are a fun way to get fancy without breaking the bank. For all you Project Runway fans out there, you know Kenley can't seem to go a day without wearing one of these!
Gettin' Festive
Here's April, styling up Mannequin with a gorgeous red Tano bag.
A little bird (named April) told me Martha Stewart is selling a kit at Michael's to make pumpkin decorations just like these. I can't believe she stole my idea! No, seriously, I guess she just has good taste. Ha! Happy Halloween everybody!

I Didn't Think It Could Get Any Better...
Pyrrha, maker of one of my fave necklaces, now offers engrave- able jewelry. These sterling silver necklaces made from casts of 19th century wax seals are classic, unique, and cool- all at once. I constantly wear my "S" Initial necklace- now I want a customized piece! Engraving options could be monograms, birth dates, marriage dates, and so on. Stop by and check them out, or maybe send your guy in to get you something you will love!

Fall 2008 Tano!
If you see a Tano you would like to Special Order just let us know and we will try to grab that baby for you!
Hot Time, Summer in the City
I have to say I personally did not love the movie. It was ok but very predictable and very full of product placement. And I love product placement! But oh the fashion was great! I have always thought that the fashion in the show was a bit over the top-at least on Carrie. Never anything you would see on a daily basis in NYC. Maybe every once in a while but definitely not with the frequency Carrie gave us.
And who could believe she could afford that apartment and those shoes! I can tell ya that the digs she had ran her an easy $3500 a month at the least. And the new place she and Big find in the movie, not even near 'the normal people can fathom' range. Across from the Met on 5th Ave? We are talking many, many millions. But oh the fashion!
The hair accessories alone would make you salivate. So you know this little beauty? It reminds me of this little guy we had at the store. And then Samantha has on this cool necklace that reminds me so much of Jan Michaels (new shipment arriving mid June!). But alas the fashion is beyond many of our humble Tano budgets. Who need Louis V when you can have a Tano anyway!
Speaking of Tano check in for a post about the new fall colors soon!

Here at the Finch we have been making an effort to be a little Greener. We have eliminated paper towels at our sinks in favor of cute hand towels. We are recycling all of our office paper and cardboard boxes. We purchased a Brita Filter to cut out bottled water. We have started switching out our light bulbs for the new compact fluorescent bulbs. We are upgrading our surge protectors to conserve electricity. We open the doors instead of turning on the AC. We walk or bike to work when we can. We all have Envirosax and take them to the grocery and on errands (most stores now give you cash back for bringing your own bags!). And last but not least we keep looking for cool new enviro friendly products to bring to all of you out there!
So remember, Kermit was wrong, It is Easy to be Green!

Fly Fly Butterfly
Well the cookies were for my Ella's Kindergarten class but the Marimekko tray is totally the Finch.
I love the bold prints and whimsical patterns of Marimekko. Nothing says Spring more boldly than a bright sunny print.
Speaking of Spring....the new Spring Tano has arrived and can you believe one of the new colors is almost exactly the same shade of blue as our yummy friend up there? Pool Blue, Fudgesicle, Dandelion, Leaf, Watermelon and Apricot are all waiting here for you in the best styles of the bunch! I think maybe the folks at Tano were a little hungry when naming the new colors.....
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive about Tano is "How does the leather wear? Well the leather gets that homey, loved broken in look over time. I personally am rather rough on my bags. I have two kiddos and a busy life so mine gets put on the floor, under the plane seat, on top of the dog, under the pool chair, on top the fridge and pretty much slung anywhere you can think of (even in the deep end of the pool at the Y, thanks Ella!). So mine wear a little faster than say Sarah's bags because hers never touch any of the above said things.
To compensate from my tough love I buy the darker colors because they wear a little better than the lighter ones. But you know it is fine leather (also meaning thin and baby soft) that is treated with a high gloss finish so it will wear, especially at the creases and edges. So keep the end result in mind when looking at the pretty spring lovelies and ask to see one of my 'distressed' samples.

Urban Safari
It's almost Springtime, and at Fire Finch we're already gearing up for the new season! We love all the fresh colors and funky prints that are taking the places of Wintery black and grey. Hobo International has produced a Spring line of leather goods in colors like ivory, maple, straw, and wasabi. As I tend to favor the bold, my personal favorite is the metallic leopard (as pictured) ! We carry quite an array of Hobo's small leather goods, and we have the new Spring line in stock.

Lovely Little Finch
A couple posts ago we mentioned our amazing new feather headpieces- and guess what! We now have an even bigger selection!!! The shapes and sizes vary, as do the colors: blue, hot pink, celery, espresso, black, winter white, red, and more. Each piece is a unique combination of feathers, rhinestones, and raffia. These are so much fun; they are the perfect accessory for the fashion forward girl that wants something you won't see on everyone. Our lovely Finch in the photo, Kali, is wearing her black one out to dinner!
**as a side note--I am becoming a little obsessesd with these headpieces. While in the Big Apple this past trip I came across this gaggle of fancy French women in the Lever House. They all had on these awesome and rather expensive looking hair accessories. I was too shy and too un-chic feeling to speak to them (they were uber fancy and only speaking rapid French) so I had no idea if they were coming from an event for Fashion Week or were just into the headgear. But I couldn't stop thinking of them. Well then I was walking down this long dark street to buy glass glitter which is literally glitter made from glass in this little set of shops when I came across a hat company going out of business. How could I resist rows of dusty boxes going at cut rate prices? Well I dug and dug and found a few awesome handmade hat adornments. Sarah crafted them into headbands today and they are awesome! I wish I had room in my suitcase for the hat blocking machine and crate of antique hat blocks but oh well. I did easedrop on a dapper young fellow who was buying a set of antique commercial Singer sewing machines. He was also negotiating the price on several hat making machines and blanks (did you know hats started out as floppy, amorphous blobs of fabric?) . Are hats making a hip comeback? Oh I hope so!!!!

Tano in Africa
So here is Cora in Liberia with a Pakistani United Nations Peacekeeper! Strangely enough he was handling security for an Irish Ambassador. However is this perhaps the first Tano in Liberia? I am going to say yes!
She has also taken Tano sightseeing! So far all seems to be good for her in Africa, thank goodness! We wish her well!Thursday, January 17, 2008

New York New York
Oh, Times Square....I really do try to avoid Times Square with all of the crowds, the noise and the general flash of it all but I somehow found myself trekking across 42nd St and look! It is pretty cool to look up and see that tall column of flashy lights. Come to think of it, I have never taken this obligatory tourist photo of Times Square. Maybe I feel like I am marking myself as a tourist if I whip out the camera in this very tourist oriented neighborhood when I usually try so hard to just blend in with the cool crowd of die hard New Yorkers. Oh well......
So New York was a whirlwind of buying and visiting friends. I saw lovely Lizzie who has been in the city for almost 6 months now! We had a great time catching up and eating yummy food. And of course I shopped! Girls get ready for very pretty ethnic inspired dresses and lots of bangle bracelets! The trends are definitely headed the oh so casual ethnic direction.
Next month I head back for the Gift show to search out the cooolest of the cool that I can find! But by the end of that trip I am sure I will feel like the picture below and be ready to be back in good ole Nashville!
