New Gifts.. New Clothes.. New Yarn.. New Space!

I recall an argument that my parents had as a child... My mom was always rearranging and my dad HATED it. It was her release. In this one argument it was dark and he tripped over something that she had moved... He said "Darnit Margaret... Quit changing things around." She quickly rebutted... "I need change... better our house than you!"

So for your and Scott's sake when
I need change we rearrange the store... Come in and check out the changes!

Grilling for the Weekend???

Try this recipe!
Cedar Planked Beef Fillets with Blue Cheese Topping
Instructions:
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
6 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil6 –
6-8 oz. beef fillets (other cuts of beef may be substituted)
1 tablespoon Fire & Flavor Sea Salt with Spices
1 – 15” Fire & Flavor Cedar Grilling Plank, soaked

FIRST
Combine breadcrumbs through olive oil to form a paste and set aside. Rub steaks generously with Salt & Spice blend on all sides. Allow steaks to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes; meanwhile preheat grill to 450-500°.

NEXT
Sear beef on hot grill for 60-90 seconds on each side. Reduce grill temperature to 350°, place soaked plank on grill and close lid. Heat for 3 minutes; using tongs, flip plank and place seared beef fillets on heated side of plank. Top each fillet with an equal amount of the breadcrumb topping. LAST Grill, with lid closed, for 12-16 minutes or until desired doneness is reached. If using a meat thermometer the beef temperature should reach 145° for medium rare and 160° for medium well. Remove plank and beef from grill and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

New Jewerly In!

You've Seen it in your J Jill catalog but now we have it here!

Born in England, jewelry designer Ian Gibson has spent many years traveling the world absorbing various cultural influences.
Schooled in geology and petrology, his love of rocks and fossils was transformed into a love of metals while apprenticing
with silversmiths in Thailand. After several initial experiments a line of handcrafted sterling jewelry was born.
The individual pendants and beads are formed from raw materials by hand. Casting processes are not used. The line
incorporates elements of sterling silver, semi precious stones, pearl and shell. Ian and his wife Jessica are the backbone
of the company. The finished work is produced in their studio in Philadelphia. Aided by a talented staff of local Philadelphia artisans
they strive daily in their quest to produce unique designs matched with an utmost attention to detail. J & I is sold in galleries, fine boutiques
and museum gift shops nationally and internationally.... and now at Encore!
