Island lifestyle
The Everett Herald, Travel & Leisure, Sunday, May 21, 2006 | link
If only we could all live on Whidbey Island. We could sit in the sun on deck chairs, drink iced tea from vintage glassware and listen to the waves gently lap at the shore.
Alas, most of us cannot. But we can shop, decorate and dream at Island Life at Home, a quaint, 2-year-old shop in Langley, specializing in brightly painted furniture, exotic seashells, beachy home accessories and seaside nostalgia, at 212 First St., Langley. See www.islandlifeathome.com for more pictures and an expanded selection of products or call 360-221-8922. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays.
Creature comforts: You'll be in shell heaven here, where you can find small, inexpensive gems for a few bucks as well as elegant nautilus individuals or artful spheres.
Delicate delight: Serve your sugars and salts in style with these precious seashell spoons from India. |
Take a nap: Indulge in beautifully beaded pillows.
Set a scene: Tozai vases make a stunning display with nautical paper and a shell wreath.
Wine set: Carry two bottles of vino in this double wine caddy basket.
Apothecary class: Display these antique reproductions alone or fill them with flowers for a fresh, pretty scene. |

Had it up to here with the antiquated dos and don'ts of wedding etiquette? These hemstitched linen pillowcases will remind you how far we've come. Printed with tips from a Victorian etiquette manual they dispense such advice as "the very corpulent should unite with thin and spare." |
