I’ve been coveting a piece by the design duo Cee and She for the past three years. Each piece is crafted by two women artists in their Westbrook studio. These stoneware candleholders are both elegant and whimsical. The flower petals are made individually by the artists’ hands; each is unique, never to be replicated.

I bought my first Alice Yardley handbag at STITCH last spring. I selected a sweet summer color block bag that went everywhere with me and was often asked, “Where did you get your bag?” Spoiler alert: If my sister in Nova Scotia is reading this issue of MH+D, there will be an Alice Yardley original under your Christmas tree this year—and I just might have gifted myself an envelope clutch as a finishing touch for my holiday outfits.
