I am thrilled to announce the opening of my new retail boutique and design studio at 215 Commercial Street in Portland, Maine's historic Old Port District.
I hear so often from customers who want to purchase my Fiore Quilt from Garnet Hill, the centerpiece of my Spring 2010 collection. I was thrilled at how quickly it sold out, but so sorry to have so many of you left disappointed. So, take heart. Fiore is coming back!
At left is the quilt you’ve all been clamoring for – the original Fiore in melons and blues. For Fall 2011, however, we brought the jewel tones forward for an even richer, warmer look, just perfect for cooler seasons.

The brisk weather has finally arrived—Maine’s storybook fall foliage is now dancing down the streets ahead of cold October winds. It’s time for jackets, scarves and hats, and I have just as much fun with my daughter Maeve’s accessories as I do my own. So I couldn’t resist stocking the children’s shelves at Nicola’s Home with these irresistible knit hats.
Not only will they keep your little ones warm, they will top them off in style. Boys and girls alike will love the “skull caps” in black, stripes or pink, while the sock monkey and reindeer hats will add a dash of whimsy to any holiday photo shoot. I love the fleece-lined plaid trapper hat—it’s very Maine, in addition to being very now—and it would suit both a boy exploring the winter woods or a budding fashionista.
Bundle up your little ones at Nicola’s Home!
I love everything about my shop in Portland’s Old Port—the exposed brick, the old wooden beams, the divided light windows and the granite facade. It was the very first available retail space I toured, and the one I just could not get out of my mind, no matter how many others I visited. I love everything about my retail space … EXCEPT how much actual space I have to retail.
If you’ve visited Nicola’s Home you know that it’s a visual feast. Crammed and heaped with my favorite things, carefully, artfully, tightly arranged. This is by necessity as much as by design, however. And after my holiday orders start to come in—and after unpacking my latest pieces from Garnet Hill—we’re beginning to feel a little crowded.
My solution? My very first sale. From now until October 11, 2010, all merchandise on the floor is 20% off.* Come in early for your best selection of furnishings, décor, gifts, textiles, books, bath and body, women’s clothing and so much more. And yes, my Edward Island and Northwoods bedding from Garnet Hill are also included in this sale, so don’t miss your chance to grab these pieces at such a great price.
Help me make room for the holiday wonderland we’re planning at Nicola’s Home. Come to 215 Commercial Street in Portland, Maine between 10am and 6pm Monday through Saturday, and 11am and 5pm on Sunday. I can’t wait to see you there!
*Offer excludes gift certificates and all prior purchases.
