inally from Scotland , has several work partners in the U . K . and France . The French market baskets at Blanc and Bleu , which they ’ re known for , are handmade in Morocco and shipped from France , as well as the soaps from the Marseille Soap Company , made from either olive oil or vegetable oil . RECOMMENDATION : The French market baskets are popular and plenty versatile ; Kinghorn ’ s recommendation is a nod to the classic holiday film It ’ s a Wonderful Life , where George and Mary Bailey present the Martini family with a basket filled with bread , salt and wine to welcome them to their new home .
“ Get some local bread from the bakeries and some local wine ; we also carry Newport Sea Salt here ,” says Kinghorn . “ These are always fun because they can also be taken to the farmers markets or the beach .”
The Marseille Soap Company soaps can be mixed and matched then wrapped together with a bow . Dish and pot brushes are essential for any cooking connoisseur , as well as the soap block Kinghorn uses in her own kitchen .
Furniture and accessory pieces from Blanc and Bleu can be either shipped or picked up from the workshop . The showroom , open to the public on Saturdays , offers a one-stop shop for modernized decor to add that old-turned-new spark to your loved one ’ s home . HOURS : Sat . 11 a . m .– 3 p . m .
