Spring arrivals = happiness

We always love the fresh infusion of color this time of year. It's not from blooms or blossoms, although there are small signs of that to come. It's the daily arrival of spring merchandise that makes us want to think about eating outdoors, switching up bedding or artwork, spring cleaning, planting up and enjoying the garden... All this anticipation and preparation helps get rid of the winter blahs.

Here are some fun new arrivals that will get you thinking about warmer times to come (plus gifts, adornments, and more)....

Great new canvas totes for market, beach, overnight jaunts.

More canvas totes, so sweet.

Soft and lovely linen napkins.

Weddings!

We're always looking for sweet little things (and great gifts) for wedding season, which is nearly here. Next week, we're expecting our latest shipment of fabulous Beatriz Ball serving pieces (the perfect gift, beautifully boxed and ready to go). In stock right now are some beautiful papers (for gifts, invites, or signs), great little tags, ring dishes, luminaria that spell out "just married" (or heart shaped)... the list goes on.

Come on over!

So, don't know about you, but we haven't felt all that social for the last few months. Just too cold, too dark... or something. Meh. But now that spring is (almost) here, we're looking forward to having some fun dinners with friends. Somehow that little bit of sunshine is enough to inspire some thinking along the lines of entertaining. And for that, we have all sorts of wonderful new serving pieces, linens, placemats... and lots more coming. Here's a little preview of some of the things we think are a fun little spruce-up for your table:

Bamboo placemats and runners in great colors

Your fave new 6-pack carrier; nice enough to sit right on the table

Some of our new lanterns

Trays, bamboo salad bowls (our favorites)

Le Jacquard Français tea towels in gorgeous spring colors

Salad servers, cake servers, bowls and runner

Fabulous natural water hyacinth runners and placemats

French beer glasses in tulip, Abbey and pilsner shapes

Salt pot for your good French salts.

For salt or Herbes de Provence... keep it by the stove or on the table

Lots of great new trays in stock

Beautiful cotton table runners in vibrant colors.

Bunnies, lambs and... elephants? Spring happiness.

How can you not love this time of year? There are teeny, tiny buds appearing on branches (if you live in Bend; elsewhere you might have riots of full-bloom flowers). The days are lighter longer; the sun is starting to seriously shine; the birds are chirping; and we're all starting to dream about summer activities, from vacations to eating dinners on the deck.

At Pomegranate, we're excited for all that, but also to see all our sweet Spring finds, in happy colors, ready for your entertaining fun, or Easter decorating. We just finished putting out all sorts of great Easter goodies, ready for baskets, decorating, or maybe to put at each place setting for Easter brunch. Here's just a little taste of the new arrivals (more coming soon) for Easter... come see!
