It's Raining. We're Grumpy.

For over 100 years Gund has been known for its quality, beloved plush toys.  On a recent buying trip to Atlanta I was assaulted by the grumpy charm of this iconic feline in their showroom window.  The result?  A dozen in her likeness arrived at Homestyle today and are ready for immediate adoption.  What better way to cheer up an otherwise grumpy, rainy day??

Watering Your Plants Can Be Like Happy Hour For Foliage


What to do with an empty wine bottle once you've enjoyed its contents?  Hmm.  Use it as a time-released watering vessel for your favorite fern!  Insert the terracotta stake into moist soil near the plant's root base.  Refill the bottle with water and set it into the stake.  Great for both indoors and out.  Cheers!
