3. Torn between getting her something practical or something fun? We've got a great solution... get her both!

Brother - Boyfriend - Husband - Dad

Available in four nature inspired designs, these Australian-made beauties are a great accessory for any well-dressed outdoorsman. $76.

2. Rain or shine, he's always ready to man the grill, so make it easier for him to get the grub to the table with the Large Walnut Trench Carver from JKAdams.

It's Alive!

ShopRedSail.com is finally up and running! I must have Halloween on my mind, because I’m feeling a bit like Dr. Frankenstein. Now that all the pieces are in place the site can finally come to life! What satisfaction! I’m really excited about sharing all that Red Sail has to offer, so I’ll get right to it.

Top Five Items of the Week


These a
re some of my personal favorites… pieces that inspired an audible, Ooo, I love this!” the first time I saw them. All of these items are incredibly well made, and I’m very happy to be carrying the work of these talented designers. In no particular order:







1. Lavender Guest Towel by Dermond Peterson. These linens are so unique, and the print is just gorgeous. Dermond Peterson linens are block printed by hand, resulting in each towel having wonderful color variations, just like a real lavender plant.

2. Grass Um
brella by Tray 6. Now that rainy season is back in Oregon, I’m thinking I may just have to keep one of these for myself. The vibrant grass design is really eye catching, even on the grayest of raining days.

3. Basket B
owl by Perch. I’m a sucker for a full candy dish, and have been since I was a kid. The modern form of Perch’s ceramic basket elevates the candy dish to the next level… this week I’m filling mine with mini Snickers.

4. Smoke Flask by Joe Cariati. The combination of color and form make this a really sophisticated vessel. I saw these at a show in NY and knew immediately that I had to get them. The smoky gray flask would be an especially striking vessel for orchids and other long stemmed blossoms.

5. Elm Cufflinks by Polli. With autumn in full swing, and leaves dropping with every gust of wind, these stainless steel cufflinks have really captured the striking outline of a bare Elm tree.
