Gift giving is an art. As in the classic story by O. Henry, "The Gift of the Magi," presenting your husband, wife, lover, child, mother, father or special friend with a meaningful gift should entail a bit of thoughtfulness and, dare we say it, sacrifice. Here are a few of our favorite special pieces for a special someone. All are available for purchase on our online shop.
Carved Wood Food Dogs, $495 a pair
French Tole Cache Pots, $135 a pair
Country Scene Oil Painting, $435
Blue and White Large Temple Jars, $750 a pair
Christofle Etched Crystal Vase, $125
The Holidays are upon us and gift giving is on our minds. At MarigoldGray we love to give gifts even more than receiving them. Vintage and antique one of a kind pieces that are unique to the recipients are always preferable and far more meaningful to give. Here are a few suggestions, all under $150, currently available to purchase on our online shop. For the Entertainer French Hand Painted Glasses, Set of 12. These glasses are so beautiful for a luncheon or holding votives on a candlelit outdoor table.

When we launched MarigoldGray in January our vision was to bring the unique and high quality antique and vintage pieces that we love to a large audience and assist people in integrating these pieces into their homes.

Today we are thrilled that we are taking another great step in our journey by being selected to become a member business in The Scout Guide Baltimore and Annapolis. The Scout Guide is a national network that highlights and cross promotes independent businesses online and in print, with publications...
November is here and the first flourishes of Fall are now in full bloom, so to speak. While it is tempting to jump straight to Christmas, I will spend the weeks leading up to the ultimate Fall holiday -- Thanksgiving -- continuing to revel in Fall. This month is a busy one for MarigoldGray-- next week we will attend a book signing for Michael S. Smith's new book at John Rosselli"s New York show room AND we will visit Hudson, New York for the auction of property from CZ Guest's Templeton estate at Stair Galleries. Almost too much to be thankful for this month! Alas, while I Iove prepping for and hosting Thanksgiving Dinner at Somerset Road, this year we...
We are thrilled to be holding a Pop Up Shop this week in Georgetown with our fantastic hosts, Littlebirdies Boutique, owned by the lovely Shanlee Johnson. It is a dream of ours to have a little shop, of course. But running a shop is a huge commitment with plenty of risk. We are in awe of the men and women like Shanlee who work 24 to 7 to do what they love and make it a successful and thriving business. Until we can get there, we are so fortunate to have Shanlee sharing her beautiful children's wear shop with us. We will have our best selection of mirrors, lighting, art, decorative accessories and vintage books on design, fashion, and gardening. ...
