Market Profile - Monticello

Monticello, the estate of third President Thomas Jefferson(1801-1809) also the principal author of The Declaration of Independence (1776) is now a non-profit museum. The organization, with no Federal funding purchased the estate to maintain his home and land in it's original glory. Located in Charlottesville Virginia, about half a million people visit Monticello each year. The products they sell are either reproductions, or in the same style of Jefferson's own possessions. Old world meets modern day in these historical throw-backs.

Regardless, Horchow is currently having a DOUBLE SALE for a limited time, additional 30% off of select sale merchandise. Here are some of my faves!

Market Profile - Smythson

Earlier this week on the news, pre-inauguration, Barack Obama and wife Michelle visited with President Bush and Laura at the White House. Michelle had brought a gift which was reported to be a journal. I don't know what brand it was, but in honor of that gift, I wanted to post about luxury leather brand, Smythson of Bond Street. With color palettes that sing and quality befitting a Queen, here are some of my faves - which also happen to be on sale!
