The Curious Peach

Pretty! Shiny! Your wish list wishes for these beauties…

Handmade in Seattle.  Oxidized sterling with mined quartz crystal, freshwater pearls, and labradorite.  Tres belle!

This stunning table, featuring Juliska’s Country Estate Collection, among other delights, will be featured in the upcoming Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society Holiday Housewalk & Market, running from November 29 through December 1 at Concordia University in River Forest!  Enjoy a peek at 5 different beautifully decorated houses and a unique shopping experience at the market featuring over 40 vendors.  Proceeds will benefit The Children’s Clinic of the Infant Welfare Society, which has been providing dental, medical, and social services to children whose families are unable to afford private health care for almost 100 years.  If you’re local, stop by and pick up your tickets here at the Peach!

A whimsically-styled shot of Juliska’s Country Estate Collection, as created by Morning Star Florists of Centerville, Ohio, the runners-up to the Traditional Home/Juliska European Affair contest!  We love the farmland inspiration here.  Great work!

Did you know it’s Karen’s ambition to open a donkey rescue farm when she retires?  The more you know…

Bo Obama is happy for four more years.

A few snaps from our (now award-winning!) book presented to the editors of Traditional Home Magazine and Juliska’s creative team for the Juliska European Affair contest we won!  The book was certainly a labor of love for all of us, from the hand-drawn illustrations and maps to selecting each photo that made the cut….and we couldn’t be happier to have won!  Check out these shots and others (as well as some beautiful shots from the runners-up at Morning Star Florist) on our Pinterest board for the contest.

Our fearless leader in the Halloween spirit.

Not only do we have a beautiful new bed display here in the shop, we also just happen to have a miniature version of our bed in a little bitty doll’s cradle!  Now that’s sleeping in style…

You may be asking yourself, “Is this jam any good?”  The answer is yes, so good.
