Jane Schott, pillow designer, textile lunatic and blogger extraordinaire and I reconnected to hit her home turf--The Dixie Highway. As we cruised the world famous art and antiques row, Jane explained how much the area has grown since our last foray, which is indeed good news. We started at Brass Scale Antiques and it was hands down my favorite. It is no mistake that Jane trades at Brass Scale. Judy, the owner is The Grande Dame of the corridor.

Sleuth that I am, I love sneaky doors!
Behold the enticing front window vignette!!
Next we bounced down the street to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers to see the Lilly Pulitzer Estate Sale. We were not about to miss the most defining iconic moment of Palm Beach in the 60's.
God Bless you Lilly Pulitzer! If anyone invented one of the greatest uniforms of all time--it was you!! Throw the shift over your head, zip up the back, slip on a pair of Jack Rogers sandals, drink coffee. May I mention--toss the shift in the washing machine and then give it a shake when it comes out of the dryer.
In my opinion an entirely fair price

Estimate: $500 to $700
Sold for: $2,250

Next, we ran around the corner to Hive, a spectacular upscale new home, garden and gift store. Brain child of local interior designer Sara McCann, Hive is a clean curated design studio and home furnishings destination. To quote Jane: "Delicious!!"
