Katy Elliott Visits Avolli

Yesterday morning was special because I had the great pleasure of meeting Katy Elliott and her lovely mom, Mary Jane, at the Avolli warehouse.

If you haven’t visited the Katy Elliott blog you are really missing something. Katy’s approach to blogging comes from a place of originality, style and passion. Her background in magazine publishing (House & Garden and Domino) gives her a sense for what readers are looking for and she knows how to keep them coming back again and again.

Katy’s warmth and fine eye for quality was the perfect match for me because I found her easy to talk to and her appreciation for the beauty and quality of fine antiques was apparent. We share a love of renovation and an appreciation for the beauty and charm of historic homes…so we had a lot to talk about!

At Katy Elliott, readers will follow along as she transforms her very special historic home in Marblehead, MA. Through this process Katy offers 'before' images and shares the many ideas and resources she collects through the renovation process.

Salem Garden Club Tour

Katy also takes us along as she transforms her home's landscaping. Through this process Katy collects many of her ideas from garden tours and visits to some of the nicest greenhouses in New England.

Thai Beef Salad

Katy’s love of cooking and creating beautiful things is seen in her creative recipes made with local and organic produce, the many DIY projects, and posts on beautiful textiles.

It was such a treat to meet Katy and Mary Jane at Avolli and I look forward to having more opportunities to spend time with this truly lovely blogger, publishing professional and lifestyle arbiter extraordinaire!

Hey Tricia, what a gorgeous blog, you have some wonderful pics here! I've subscribed now, so I'll see them as they come along (which I love). And BTW, our pup isn't a Bernese Mountain Dog, it's Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ("Cav"), a tri-colour, which is very similar in colours to your pups. But a tad smaller (aka a toy dog). In my pic, I had pushed his ears back for a bit of fun, and that's why he resembles your pup so much in that pic, otherwise, his big floppy ears would have given him a way in a heartbeat! But they are both beautiful dogs, no doubt about that!

One of the most wonderful things about blogging is getting to know another blogger and then meeting in person. I am off to visit Katy.
Hope that your back is all better now and behaving!

Such a lovely post!
I am just back from Massachusetts and one of the delights was to visit Salem and Marblehead, I have taken tons of pictures and slowly work my way through to post on some of the fantastic places we have seen. I have been to Maine as well, what a beautiful country side!

Still feel like changing my life and move to New England!
( Well, in my dreams...)

So nice to read your posts again!
Love - Victoria

Oh my! What beautiful pictures. And your warehouse. I'm in love. Seriously, elements of Swedish decor have always appealed to me - and I'm not sure where to start. I'd love to incorporate some pieces into my home. I'm thinking first of a MORA CLOCK. So pretty.
