As we approach 2024, it’s a time to send 2023 off in style! In this issue we bring you our ultimate gift guides curated by Weston’s Amy Guzzi and Stamford’s Hannah Deely. In this issue newlywed and President of the Westport Downtown Association Maxxwell Crowley shares his “Love Letter to Westport,” Nancy Berger pens a piece on a new vision for the Westport Country Playhouse, and some of our most beloved shops and salons celebrate anniversaries. As we here at Westport, Weston & Wilton toast our 25th, Millie Rae’s celebrates their 15th, Artisex toasts 25 and Tina Dragone raises a glass to their 40th. Our mission is always to celebrate the past, present and future of our community. A former Staples student Lily Caplan has her finger on the pulse of our community’s artisans with a piece on three local brands LALAA KANANI, Penny Linn Designs and SANTM. I had the joy of exploring three new collections for the home that will be undoubtedly coveted by our coastal community. Celebrity designer She McGee of Studio McGee and Kohler collaborate on a collection available at their Westport showroom; Westport’s Meg Young of Cailini Coastal launches wallpaper and gives me a sneak peek at their soon-to-open Fairfield County location, and iconic home décor powerhouse Lee Jofa dips into the archives for its 200th anniversary. There’s so much to celebrate.
Cheers to this holiday season!
