Putnam without any desire to go inside.  I have my own interior designer (thanks Annette) and all the patio furniture and fireplace-ware I’d ever need.  So, really – there was no need.  Then one day, my never-to-be-ignored intuition compelled me to stop in, and I was quite delighted to find stuff for hearth and table I’ve never, ever seen before.  Take, for example, the melamine French Country plates, bowls and trays for a fraction of the cost of their ceramic doppelgangers (pasta bowls $25, trays $32, dinner plates $14).  And the STUNNING custom-made crushed-glass fireplaces – not on-the-cheap, but not over top, either.  There are great appetizer platters and hanging lanterns and plenty of accouterments for your plain old fireplace.  Stop in – you’ll be happy you did.
