Last week the website Gardenista posted a feature titled DIY Wedding Garland. To recreate the look, search no further than the CWE's Bowood Farms Garden & Home, which carries the Studio Carta ribbon shown in Gardenista's photographs. At Bowood, you'll find an assortment of loose weave cotton & metallic ribbon ($1 to $1.25 a yard, $58 for 54-yards), above, designed by Boston-based Angela Liguori and made in Italy.
Recently a friend mentioned that she told Katherine McPheeters, chief buyer (see 2010 post here) of Bowood Farms, that she loves her choice of merchandise so much she could swoop everything up in the shop and take it home.
More praise was heaped on the neighborhood's garden & home shop yesterday when Alive Magazine mentioned Bowood Farms on its "How to Vacation in Our Hometown" post. I think this suggestion is absolutely spot-on, don't you?
Bowood Farms Garden & Home, 4605 Olive Street, (314) 454-6868.
