Pick of the Week: Great Holiday Gifts


Another great holiday gift from Match Pewter.  Yes We Can Lidded Box (4.5L, 3.1W, 1.2H) by Match Pewter!  Put a note inside for a special friend and give an inspired holiday gift that will always be remembered!

Inspired by the President, Yes We Can relays hope and positivity. Match pewter is handmade by artisans in the North of Italy. Its classic forms harmonize with both traditional and modern settings. Its warm reflections recall celebrations at well laid tables and storytelling by candlelight.

Match pewter does not contain lead and is completely food safe. Not recommended for the dishwasher. Hand-made in Italy. Pewter tarnishes very slowly and requires almost no maintenance. Should you want to polish your pewter almost any polish will do (read the directions before using). Match recommends Cape Cod Metal Polish.

Free shipping on all orders.

Cobble Court At Rooms With A View




Each year, ROOMS with a VIEW--the brainchild of interior design icon Albert Hadley--transforms Southport Congregational Church into a dazzling showhouse featuring twelve miniature showrooms. ROOMS with a VIEW will celebrate its 15th anniversary this year with an extra-special group of talented designers, including Eddie Ross, the former senior style editor at Martha Stewart Living turned rock-star designer after appearing on Bravo’s Top Design, and Alexa Hampton, president and featured designer of Mark Hampton LLC, the world-famous design firm founded by her late father, Mark Hampton. Each interior designer is allowed total artistic license to create a unique vignette around this year’s theme: “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things.”

While the twelve designer vignettes are the centerpiece of ROOMS with a VIEW, the show provides many other attractions. Throughout the show, visitors will have an opportunity to start their holiday shopping early in The Marketplace, featuring over 30 high-end vendors selling jewelry, home accessories, antique prints, art and unique items of clothing, or to relax over a delicious lunch or other treat in The Marketplace Café.

A Gala Preview Party, featuring both live and silent auctions, kicks off the event on Thursday, November 5th, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tickets for the Gala Preview Party start at $100.

The fun continues on Friday, November 6, when Tina Dragone of Westport will put on a fashion show in the tent while a gourmet luncheon is served. There are two seatings for the fashion show and luncheon, at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The price of the fashion show and luncheon is $35.

To celebrate its 15th year, ROOMS with a VIEW has added a new Holiday Decorating Seminar on Saturday, November 7, at 10:30 a.m. This special holiday-themed seminar, entitled “Home for the Holidays,” will feature floral inspirations by Marna Ringel of Flowers by Marna and Swedish Country-inspired home décor by Rhonda Eleish and Edie van Breems of Eleish van Breems Antiques. Rhonda and Edie will also be available to sign copies of their new book, Swedish Country Interiors. Tickets for this special event are $20 per person.
