» The Blush and Palm collections feature palm frond-shaped dishes, printed napkins and appliquéd textiles that provide a pop of verdant when paired with subtle blush tableware. These pairings evoke visions of tropical palm trees, warm white sand and softly setting suns, which inspired the Frond Fete Gathering Shop.
» The Iris Blue Collection is adorned with blue hues and designs inspired by the stages of plant growth from seedling to bud to bloom. Set against white, the baby blue, cobalt and navy are distinct, making a fresh and welcome addition to any table. Mix and match plates, bowls, mugs, canisters, towels, pitchers and more in whimsical prints.

What began as a pandemic project quickly turned into a business for Krishna and Akshar Patel who opened
Baum Road Studios in October of 2020.
The brother and sister duo sell ceramics and pottery in their studio and throughout Tallahassee in farmers markets, arts fairs, events and galleries.
Their ceramic vases, tableware and jewelry make for unique and cherished handmade gifts. The studio, located in their parent’s barn, is fully equipped with two running kilns, a slab roller, an extruder and a variety of wheels to produce handcrafted, colorful pieces.
They offer private and group classes at the studio, as well as providing classes and workshops.

If Maria Hurst, owner of Gypsy Rose, had to select one summer staple, it would be the Gypsy Jumpsuit from Bali Prema. The jumpsuit comes in a plethora of boho and tropical prints made from lightweight, breathable rayon.
The Gypsy can be worn over a dozen different ways, converting from jumpsuit to dress with adjustable straps and a variety of available lengths. It’s the ideal vacation dress, transitioning easily from a cover-up at the pool to a halter dress for sunset drinks.
Hearth & Soul
» Onno Collection began as a perfumer — taking their expertise in scents to candlemaking. The Waves candle blends rich, spicy notes with luscious florals to exude the true essence of nature. The glass vase housing each candle brings warm light to your interior, transforming any space into a realm of tranquility.
» Summer is citrus season, and why not have fresh juice at the ready? Smeg’s citrus juicer brings the nostalgia of a 1950s kitchen with its retro design and soft colors. High-quality Italian craftsmanship ensures an easy juicing experience with a stainless steel strainer, anti-slip feet and an anti-drip spout.
» You’ll want to wear these Graduated Dangle Earrings all summer long. The beautiful, intricate jewelry is crafted from freshwater pearls on 18k gold-plated sterling silver. These earrings will be your summer statement piece when paired with a cocktail dress — whether you’re at a wedding or out for cocktails — with a sleek updo to show them off.
