MacKenzie-Childs: Istanbul, Turkey

 MacKenzie-Childs_Turkey  posts some of the best pictures under the MC hashtag on Instagram.  Of course we had to pay the store a visit on our recent trip to Istanbul!  The taxi ride to the place took far longer using google maps on my phone (we were careful because we did not want to get lost in a strange city). Going back took half the time and cost once we left it up to the Driver to figure things out.  You live and learn!

The store's busy location is within the modern, high-rise portion of the city. I even saw an Hermes store not too far away. Rent must be sky-high, thus their prices were on par with prices here in the USA.  No clearance section that I could discern. I found an MC table runner that was theirs exclusively and that's what I purchased.

MacKenzie Childs: Coffee Mug and Other Fun Cups

Domino Magazine  recently had an article on mugs with interesting handles.  I admit that they are cute, but none so cute as my classic MacKenzie-Childs Coffee Mug

It does not have a fun handle per se (though still different), but its hand-painted courtly check pattern with stripes is a win every time in my estimation. 

A.  Circle Mug 






C.  Chubby Cup



D.  Wiggly Wave




E.  Extra-Extra Long One

F.  Loop de Loop

Thou preparest a table before me 
in the presence of mine enemies: 
thou anointest my head with oil; 
my cup runneth over.

Mackenzie-Childs: Previews for Fall Holiday Season 2019 @ Barn Sale

pc: Mackenzie-Childs
The Courtly Check Mug has been on my bucket-list.  Did not see nary-a-one at the tented MC 50-80% off Barn Sale, but I knew they were definitely stocked at full price at the MC store.  Well, lookie-lookie, they were at a rare 20% off.

The store also offered a table of Fall item previews.  The items were also for sale (full price) if I  had wanted to purchase them.  So, why didn't I?  As pretty as some items were, I was hoping they'd be offered at a discount after Christmas, that's why.


Here are a few that were nicely designed, IMO.
