I saw this picture ages ago and saved it in my favorite file. Something about the octopus really appealed to me.
I love the enormous size and how it is framed in three sections. It makes such a statement. He just seems happy and that makes me happy.
Remember my friends Giuliana and Bill? Guess who is hanging in their apartment? This is getting interesting. Next, I stopped by a new shop in Wilmington. Hewitt. Everyone said I just had to go. So I went and ...you know what is coming right?
Yep! There hanging on the wall was my eight legged friend. I must say he looked fabulous in person.
The rest of the store didn't disappoint either.
There was something for everyone. Those who like brights and
those who like lights.
From fun floor cushions to...
Funky art. I thought this guy had a lot of personality. Porcupine? Hedgehog?
This grouping looks like it came right out of Domino. Or should I say Lonny? 
Let's see... I like the table, the chairs..pretty much the whole store.
I thought these were pretty darn cute and they reminded me of the chairs my mom bought for the twins. So if you live in Wilmington stop by Hewitt and ask for Robin. Tell her I sent you.You won't be disappointed. What do you think of the octopus? Does he remind you too much of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? Cute or creepy?
In the right spot, I think the octopus is fun!
ReplyDeletejust plain weird
ReplyDeletebut I do like the table and chairs and the yellow urn
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about the octopus, but I love the idea of the three separate pieces.
ReplyDeleteThat yellow urn is on my current wish list.
What a fun store, I could take one of everything in there. Maybe a few of those yellow urns, love those the most.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with the octopus too! and the the hedgehog? I adore it!
ReplyDeleteI have always remembered that picture from Giuliana and Bills home on tv. Very Jealous.
ReplyDeleteSo, did you buy him and take him home ?
ReplyDeleteAn Octopus in triptec (spelling??) form, why not?
ReplyDeleteLove the new shop, but I was disappointed that the web site was not up and running yet.
I love the four poster bed in one of the pics... I want to see the rest of it.
Boo.
I saw Bill & Guiliana's apartment make-over on "Dress My Nest" and I remember this octopus print! It really commands attention =)
ReplyDeleteThis store looks fab!
ReplyDeletei would like the octopus more if i wasn't in thirds.
ReplyDeleteI love that print...it's so fun
ReplyDeleteI love tryptichs, and I think mr. 8 legs looks great. I could really see him looking good in a room with a lot of browns and creams (at least from the color I see on the screen). Did you see the giant bee in Molly Sims' apt? Seems to be a bit of a trend!
ReplyDeletelove, love the octopus. such a statement he makes. oh, and I would love to walk through that store, so happy you did it for us.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the octopus! He is wonderful, and especially as a tryptich! I think the store looks great and would love a visit. Wilmington is on my list of places I want to see - thanks for the tour until I can get there!
ReplyDeleteI'm just not sure about the octopus prints. maybe they will grow on me??
ReplyDeleteI'm undecided about the octopus. :) But that store is great. I love the children's chairs... filing that away in my 'one day' file.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? What a great store. Wish I had one close to me because they have so many fun things!
ReplyDeleteHello! I just discovered your blog and have spent the better part of my Sunday reading (not sure I should admit that??? but I had too much fun last night and my sofa has been needing me so there you have it). But just wanted you to know that I love your blog. I love your wit. And I also love the color blue.
ReplyDeleteOh and I want to know the next time there is a Big Green Warehouse Sale...I am over in Charleston and would be more than happy to make that trip!
Can't wait to read more,
Sidney
I love any pics broken into different frames - much more interesting that way!
ReplyDelete(And on another note: I'm browing through your archives, and I need to know more about this green warehouse thing. My husband is from Beulaville - which you HAVE to know about if you travel to Warsaw! Is there a Web site? Is it open to the public? More info, please!!)
LOVE Hewitt! Just found your blog and if my kids weren't on Fall break tomorrow & Friday I would head down to ILM to your sale. Good Luck,
ReplyDeletegreat blog!
Love the hedgehog and the octopus. Where else can i get them??
ReplyDeletePlease please tell me where I can the the octopus pic. I REALLY want it! I live in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThanks
I love the print and in thirds! :)
