Tracy Porter New Video: Layers of Luscious in our Santa Barbara Store

A tasty little glimpse into our deliciously-layered Santa Barbara Store.   You know I adore more-is-more + this bite has it all.   Inspiration for your own vignettes…highs + lows… sweet + savory… chipped + sparkly.    A splendid celebration of all things beautiful.   Add some folly… Surprise yourself along the way…just see what you might come up with (its the best way to live)!!  No rules darling…and a little dance while you throw it all together.

We so hope you can make the trip to California to see our gem of a boutique in person…Until then, I dare you to start pulling pieces of lovely together in new ways for your eyes to adore.
 
Cheers to you + your creative whims!!
xxx,
T.

I LOVE that I have been there! And I could have spent HOURS in the store eating up all that deliciousness!! I remember Robyn saying that you both would come in at night with a bottle of wine and just play and decorate! Oh how fun!! Your store is my favorite…I know I’ve said it before…please open one here on the East coast!! xoxo

Yes, I agree, you’ve got to grab an East Coast spot for all of your lovely things to reside in. Love the video, the ideas that you inspire are simply divine. Keep it coming :)

TRACY….i’m in full agreement with PAM… east coast for sure!!!
of course, pam would love one in new england and i would love one in new york. but, i think we could handle a drive anywhere to be able to frequent a tp store. the northfork of long island is beautiful and has wineries. pam you can take the ferry over. i’ll buy the wine. ;-)

Beautiful!! Someday i will make it there to see it all in person. I know i will spend hours there. I have a question…..those green curtain panels….where can i find some? I feel like i have seen similar ones in videos of Robyn’s WI home, and maybe also in Sarah’s home. I love the color and the embroidered design on them. I am so excited to see more and more pieces of the store, thank you!

Oh my, if this were posted on Friday……I would jump into the car and hit every estate sale in town to find treasures. I am constantly torn between downsizing and adding more!
A lot of yummy recipe ideas yesterday! I googled “soaking chicken in vinegar”, interesting. This was all new to me. Thanks for pointing it out.
WHIMS, happy late birthday. TEVI, happy birthday today to you and your daughter. The best to all of you.
Still suffering, heat index yesterday 103. Well, Real Texans don’t need no air conditioning. I read this sign somewhere. Hopefully this is my last day without it!

Franchising is a FABULOUS idea! I will volunteer to run a store for you in St. Louis. :)
Just catching up on some old posts. Happy Birthday TERI! My daughter was born on my birthday too and I can’t wait to celebrate our first one together in December. And I know i’m really late to the twins’ birthday party photo, but just have to say that i love that max is wearing a shirt with french writing on it in that photo. :)

Love it! Oh I was I could go to your store, I think I would spend an entire day there for sure! This vignette totally reminds me of a shelf out of your armoire Tracy!!!! So beautiful.

Love the store. I think I have been there in my dreams. The shoes dangling from the horns just kill me. I want to replicate your door Idea on my inside door exiting the house. I have some crafty, artsy friends who want to help. They all know I am a Tracy fan and they agree a trip to Santa Barbara is in order. How much fun to have a place to redecorate with new merchandise. Speaking of new stores. I think one in Tampa Fl. would be grand!!!

“HEY YA’LL”… Bring a store to TEXAS too!
SIEGI, guess I am not a REAL Texan…my family moved here from the East Coast…and I NEED the air conditioning…only thing I have heard to boast is that the Texas humidity is good for your complexion…HA! I am a “California weather” girl at heart! Hang in there, you will have a whole new system tomorrow…and as they say here in TEXAS….Yippppppeeeeee!!!
Great, as always to see the store, TRACY…thanks for sharing it…ALWAYS such a TREAT!!!

TRACY: (yes I am up early…last 2 days before summer vacation!) Thank you for the video, too busy last night to post a comment, however, you and Robyn have a very artistic touch…loved the stores in WI, hopefully someday I will get to your wonderful SB store! I remember the end of year things with our girls, and demands on them, phew…I am thinking of you TRACY! Please take care! MS graduation last night…long days, but the end is in sight. Did not even get to take advantage of the sale…too busy yesterday. Hope SIEGE gets some relief and I know about trying to downsize and still love to collect…a REAL-LIFE tug of war! Must fly now….

Oh, Tracy I was just in Santa Barbara briefly over the weekend, and although I was dying to stop in I couldn’t. With three little ones five and under in tow I knew I wouldn’t be able to linger the way I want to!
