We wanted to take a moment to showcase an interesting decor trend… One that’s bigger than seasonal decorating. We’ve been noticing lately that there’s a shift in home design that’s beginning to pull away from the strictly downhome, laidback “farmhouse” style. Don’t get nervous… Farmhouse style is not going away. We’re not ready to give up the easy-going, comfortable style, and we don’t think you are, either. But after 7 years of exclusive farmhouse design in home products, architecture, furniture, and fabrics, it was inevitable that a shift would occur. The shift we’re seeing is heading toward more sophisticated, elegant materials with a carefully-curated design. Continue Reading

Both a timeless accessory and a Piper Classics favorite, the traditional glass Mason Jar is not only affordable and functional — it just so happens to also be the perfect accent to tie together almost any style of rustic vintage farmhouse decor.
The race to create this new method of food storage actually began in 1795, with a request by none other than Napoleon Bonaparte. But it wasn’t until 1858, when the Philadelphia tinsmith John Landis Mason invented and patented his namesake glass jar, that canning jars as we know and recognize them today entered the commercial landscape.

If you think the Christmas in July idea is a clever marketing tactic devised by retailers in recent years, you’d be 100% wrong!! Believe it or not, this concept has actually been around for 89 years!! Who knew?! It is true, of course, that it has become a much bigger phenomenon than it was in the early days, but it’s actually had a lot of years to grow.
” According to legend, Christmas in July was first celebrated at a summer camp in 1933, when Keystone Camp in Brevard, N.C. decided to dedicate two days (July 24 and 25) to the holiday—complete with fake cotton snow, a decked-out tree, a gift exchange, and, of course, Santa.” (See the full story in Southern Living’s How Christmas in July started.)
