We’re incapable of stepping inside the Store Ltd. in Cross Keys and not grabbing up 17 gorgeous things we’ve never seen anywhere else, which makes it the ideal, last-minute holiday shopping destination if you think about it—and if you exercise self-control. Need something artful and inspired for your elegant Uncle Marvin and your mother-in-law and the artistic woman next door? The Mediterraneo basket ($90) by Emma Silvestris from Alessi—available in red, white and mirror-polished styles—reminds us of Matisse’s happy, curvaceous line. We’re grateful for this bowl! Would it be wrong to set an extra one aside and forget to bestow it on someone else, to fill it with pinecones or clementines, to fill it up with festive love? villageofcrosskeys.com
