There is something about a turtle shell that I love. I guess its that each one is unique and the natural qualities excite me.
Recently, I purchased a couple gold-leafed ones on stands from Seattle's, Timothy De Clue as well as a larger polished one from Phoenix's, The French Bee.
I love natural elements in my home, and the turtle shells look great next to my favorite ibis lamp.
Turtle Shells, y'all!
The last place I thought I would find in Phoenix is a shop named The French Bee. It does not seem to me that French and Phoenix go hand in hand. But, let me tell you when you visit Phoenix, you must take in the sights of The French Bee. Currently, Phoenix is home to four French Bee retail locations, in addition to a 12,000 square foot wholesale studio, where the renowned, one-of-a-kind, high-end floral arrangements by owner Michael Hansen are created.
I popped in to the location at 3150 E Camelback Road on my recent visit to Phoenix. It was a $5.00 uber ride from my stay at the Arizona Biltmore. Set in a strip mall, do not let the facade steer you away.
Get ready for some eye candy galore!
If you are a lover of blue and white porcelain, this is the spot for you to visit.
I actually fell in lust for these chairs.
You know how much I love the color green. I love these too.
I loved the tiger-printed pillows. I also love the array of chairs. Oh! And the footstool. Drool worthy!
The arrangements throughout the well-appointed shop were breathtaking. I chose a couple to be shipped home, but the decision was so difficult. Each and everyone is prettier than the last.
Besides the pre-made arrangements, you can also select from the store's wide selection of floral stems.
High-end accessories also fill the nooks, crannies, and extensive shelving displays. Here are some accessories and vignettes throughout the shop.
I will share my purchases in a future blog once I receive my "treats".
The staff also could not be even more accommodating. Customer service really adds to the shopping experience. Here's to some "Phrench in Phoenix".
Be sure to check out The French Bee when in Phoenix. You will not be disappointed.
The French Bee, y'all!
