Giveaway Winner!

We are happy to announce the winner of our Loo-Pourri giveaway -- Jen (aka I'm a Nola Girl). Congratulations, Jen! And since we're all about blog-love, check out Jen's blog, by clicking below. It's a wonderful blog filled with delicious recipes, wonderful gems about New Orleans, and more!

Jen, please feel free to stop by to pick up your gift, or email us (allegra(at)jolihomeandevents(dot)com) to arrange for us to drop it off to you!

Giveaway: Loo-Pourri

OK, admit it. You've seen our Poo-Pourri display in our Powder Room. And you've been tempted to buy it, because, well, nobody likes to smell that smell. But have you been too embarrassed to make the purchase? To even ask if it works?

First of all, let me assure you that it does, indeed, work. As the tagline says, "Spritz the bowl before you go and no one else will ever know!" This all natural toilet spray uses essential oils to trap the odor before it even escapes!

Since, even we might feel a little shy about purchasing something like this, we've decided to give some away. To let one of our loyal customers and readers try it before buying it. But it gets better! Along with the brand new product, Loo-pourri (scented with Grapefruit and Vetiver), we're giving away a lovely silver, refillable atomizer. That way, you can carry it in your purse without advertising what it is. Look! Isn't a pretty little gift set??

To enter, all you need to do is post a comment. Just tell us how much you love us, or something (we love getting compliments). To get extra entries, become our fan on Facebook and become a follower of our blog (we're all about the love). A winner will be chosen at random next Wednesday.

We're back after a brief hiatus, with two spring-inspired picks of the week. 

Cheryl's Pick: BloemBoxes

 

Want spring? Check out these lovely BloemBoxes! Choose from a Bumblebee Garden, Hummingbird Garden, or Butterfly Garden. Or choose from a selection of edible flowers and other beautiful spring delights. All you need in one box. Biodegradable-fabric seed strips.Plant them in the ground, and watch them grow. Fabulous, right?

Allegra's Pick: Botanical Prints

Cherrio! What could be cheerier than these prints? Don't these little delights make you almost believe it's Springtime? Each time I look at these cottagey images, I get giddy for the warmer weather. And at $35 each, they're almost too good to be true.

Happy weekend, friends. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Shopgirls Picks of the Week

 How are you doing on this dreary afternoon, friends? Despite the miserable weather, I'm having a delightful time in the shop ... for two reasons:

1) While it's been fairly quiet, some loyal customers have traveled here, braving the torrential rain,  just to visit our "wonderful shop." How sweet!

2) New shipments arrived today! Much of the morning was spent unpacking new lovelies and arranging them around the shop. Don't you want to stop in and visit?

Not to leave you in too much suspense, we shopgirls have each picked one of our new items to feature in this week's edition of our "Pick of the Week." So without further ado ...

Cheryl's Pick of the Week: Goody Goody

We have been admirers of the whimsical Goody Goody purses, jewelry rolls, and wallets for some time now. And at January's show, we decided that we were completely smitten and could resist them no longer. These wonderful woven silk accessories both feel and look luxurious. Not to mention making the proud owner feel sophisticated and divine. Imagine spicing up date night with one of the purses; wrapping your jewelry like a little gift in one of the jewelry rolls, or pulling out one of the fabulous wallets during your next outing.We hope you're just as smitten with these wonderful little gems as we are.

Allegra's Pick: M.Bellish'd Watches

These watches by M.Bellish'd totally made us swoon. Why, you ask? Because they rock! And they're interchangeable, versatile, and totally chic! You start buy purchasing one of the watches that comes with a solid cuff. Then, you can add a variety of printed cuffs by just snapping the watch to it. How awesome is that?! Since the cuffs are cotton, they're totally comfortable, and washable to boot. Have you ever seen such an awesome watch? Come in soon and try them on!

Well, that wraps up our Pick of the Week post. Tell me, friends, which one is your favorite? What would you like to see us feature on future picks?

Have a rockin' Super Bowl Sunday, all. Be safe!

Cheryl's Pick of the Week: Paddywax Candles

We love Paddywax candles. They smell delicious; they're colors are vibrant; they burn beautifully. However, after carrying them in our shop since our opening, we have decided to liquidate our inventory. But that's good news for you because it means that we're offering our Paddywax candles at 50% off! Stop in and check out our selection of yummy candle goodness.

Allegra's Pick of the Week: Jewelry

Jewelry at 30% off. Need I say more? Hurry and check out our selection of awesome jewelry on sale until the end of this week only. We love our jewelry, and think it's all fabulous ... but we bought more jewelry at market and need to make room. So help us out, OK?

Shopgirls Picks of the Week

Cheryl's Pick: John Derian

Cheryl's pick this week is John Derian. Actually, Cheryl's pick every week is John Derian. Both of us love his decoupage plates and paperweights. And, since the entire shop is 20% off right now, it would be a great time to start your collection.

John Derian is a New York artist whose popularity has been growing at a rapid pace for the past several years. He's an avid collector of antique prints, ledgers, and letters. He hand-paints borders and patterns and combines these elements into collages which are then reprinted and pieced together under in layers under glass.

Look for his work in many decorating magazines, and see the real deal right here in your very own Joli.

Allegra's Pick: Aquiesse

One of the most luxurious portfolios of fine home fragrances found anywhere. OK. That's what the brochure says. What I say is that I am totally in love with these candles (completely smitten). The sophisticated glass containers work in any decor, and the scents are just fabulous.

Made with organic soybean oil and lead-free wicks, these candles come in fragrances like Pacific Lime Blossom, Luxe Linen, Timber, Mandarin Tea, and Grapefruit Spearmint (plus another one called Rioja, but the name doesn't do justice to the lush scent).

We'll be burning the testers all week long. Come smell them and choose your favorite!
