Madeline Weinrib's Holiday
.
In 2003, Joan Hornig developed a way to combine her passion for jewelry, education and philanthropy through the creation of the Joan B. Hornig Foundation. The foundation's mission is to provide support for registered charitable organizations throughout the world.Those choosing to purchase Joan Hornig designs are meant to derive pleasure not only from the jewelry, but also from the meaning of giving back. All profits from each item are donated to charity. Purchasers are able to direct the donation to a charity of their choice, in their honor, by following the steps outlined on this site.( from the Joan Hornig site here)
Madeline's choice from Joan Hornig is a beautiful jade bracelet, called "Nuts & Bolts of Giving" & the proceeds from it will go to Madeline's favorite charity Project Mala.
Madeline loves this special edition book by Federico De Vera
Objects features de Vera’s stores and living spaces, with essays by Ronald S. Lauder, Diane Dorrans Saeks & Michael Maharam. de Vera-composed still lifes, with essays by Paul Smith, Bruce Weber and Lori Goldstein- make up the Jewelry book.
other exquisite pieces from the Gem Palace are available at Capitol in Charlotte North Carolina here, and the Gem Palace in Jaipur, along with other locations in India.
A new limited edition lithograph from Rene Ricard makes Madeline's list. The lithograph is available at the Larry Gagosian Gallery in New York, with a fantastic online shop here and at 988 Madison Avenue.
Candles make beautiful gifts for the holiday season-any time really. This one- a wax bust of Marie Antoinette, bust de cire, from Cire Trudon, with shops in New York and France
Just in case your lean to edible gift giving- Madeline has you covered. Three of her favorites are:
Every year the interior designer Timothy Whealon sends chocolates to Madeline. "Not only is he amazingly talented but so thoughtful to send these. We all look forward to them every year." They are called Hughes Home Maid Chocolates and they in Oshkosh, WI, since 1940. (yes, it is Home Maid, not Home Made)
I love this pick from Madeline. A subscription to HANDEYE -a magazine that she reads.
& lastly Madeline loves to send abundant bouquets from Magnolia Flowers & Events in New York -like this one of glorious paper whites.
Little Augury graciously thanks Madeline Weinrib for this truly heavenly host of gift suggestions for readers.
come and follow Madeline Weinrib as she shops this year-
Madeline on an elephant from her recent trip to India - "An elephant ride with Dera Amer would be a fun present if you knew someone who was taking a trip to Jaipur, India over the holiday season.”
It looks as if they can arrange anything your heart desires.

CAPITOL & DUQUETTE
.
a trip to CAPITOL is an experience. don't take it from me, rather- take it from Hutton Wilkinson, curator historian of the extraordinary TONY DUQUETTE home Dawnridge. Hutton is always busy creating his own design legacy as well-interiors, jewelry, books, what next? Hutton said in all his travels of late, there is none more chic, more beautifully laid out store than the glamorous women's design atelier-CAPITOL. The collection is edited by the charmingly feminine Laura Vinroot Poole. Laura, a petite powerhouse, is as gracious as they come. A visit to CAPITOL must be much like a visit to her home- come early, stay late. You don't want to leave.
Hutton Wilkinson was on hand to show his collection of otherworldly jewels from Tony Duquette.
I will never,
Ever,
look at a brooch without first thinking of a Duquette brooch.
I will likely visualize any dress or lapel as being slightly lack luster without a brooch--preferably a Duquette one- with "air" behind it (that means perching it up a bit up on the shoulder so it can show properly).
Looking over the two couture floors of CAPITOL is viewing fashion for Fall 2010-at its best. What could be better? Nothing-
unless it is the smooth sophisticated decor the clothes are shown in.
Everything works, it is glamorous- like the clothes-but does not overwhelm them. Very important.
Again-Hutton Wilkinson put it beautifully-It is like being on the set of the 1939 movie THE WOMEN. The centerpiece of the fashionable "movie" CAPITOL is the fantastic Vertical Garden created by botanist and inventor, Patrick Blanc.
The Tony Duquette collection is not just jewelry-each piece is a work of art. Hutton creates his jewelry from stones in the original Duquette collection & special gems he has amassed. He entertains at the legendary Dawnridge frequently and is thinking of declaring certain of his soirees as a full out wearing of couture only. After seeing the well dressed women come out for CAPITOL'S party honoring Dara Caponigro of Veranda, he wants to see women at Dawnridge wearing their best couture, their best jewelry- just the way they did when Tony Duquette and his wife Elizabeth entertained there.
An evening event honoring Dara Caponigro was standing room only for the fashionably dressed -the decor was certainly VERANDA worthy.
Owner, Laura Vinroot Poole of CAPITOL-looks at fashion through a unique lens and what a beautiful setting she has created for a fashionable life.
CAPITOL Interior Designer is Barrie Benson & Architect is Perry Poole-Laura's husband.

Laura wearing a necklace of citrine,aquamarine, peridot, spocolite in 18 karat gold
with designer Hutton Wilkinson
Hutton describes the earrings and necklace of malachite, citrine, and emerald bead in 18 karat gold
as emulating pond scum. My vision is of a pond somewhere in the Pavlovsk Palace Park with shards of
malachite scattered across the water by a water nymph. It was my favorite in the entire collection,
without a doubt.
Both brooches above are made of emerald, green amethyst & fluorite in 18karat gold
