While on Cape Cod last week, I was able to finally stop in the
John Derian store in Provincetown.

I had looked for it last year on my annual beach pilgrimage but couldn't find it! The saleswoman told me they only put up the sign this year -good thing! Still not the easiest place to find, down a small street behind some bushes, but the store did not disappoint with so much to see (in such a small space!).

Stage right from the doorway were what we come to expect from John Derian, the decoupage! I love the poufs under the table too!

And more decoupage -I loved this collection of sea-botanicals.

These charming little tumblers were towards the rear of the store -perfect for a tablesetting at the beach!

I was so tempted to get one of these ostrich feather dusters and live out my french maid fantasies ( just kidding!!!)

There was a selection of
Cire Trudon candles hiding in the back of the store. I just LOVED the 'trianon' scent - maybe i'll pick one up in Paris next month when
Heather and I pay a visit.

I've always loved these busts that they make, I just wish they came in the muliple scents (like trianon!).

The bedding was all so cozy, I could have taken a nap right then and there!

The store was so adorable I could have happily bought everything inside. I had to be content with a decoupage tray of antique stamps and a small notebook to use while in Paris for sketching. I also picked up a nice tote bag with Derian's logo on it for my groceries. If you are in Ptown, it's worth a visit and of course so are the New York stores. Tell them ArchitectDesign sent you (and ignore the looks of utter confusion!).
