The Peonies are in Full Bloom
Okay, repeat after me, Peonies, Peonies, Peonies. Good. Now remember that is the name of a fabulous women’s consignment shop in Centerbrook, Connecticut which of course you need to go to and support. Not immediately, you have to read this first, but you can warm up the car as you’re getting the low down.
Love this post, Ann! Can’t wait to go…I’ve already checked out their website and One Pearls, after seeing your necklace. Keep bringing us the good places and the great stories! There are so many undiscovered treasures in CT!

Thanks!

Thanks for mentioning One Pearl. All the kind words are greatly appreciated. I LOVE Peonies AND Pam and Laurel. The store is fabulous, beautiful, elegant and brimming with treasures!!
Kathy, thanks so much and have a ball at Peonies!
THANK YOU….for the wonderful post….THANK YOU…..for spending so much time with Pam and I yesterday. We enjoyed every minute of it…but most of all THANK YOU for bringing the state of Connecticut together…one person at a time!!
Can you imagine if everybody worked together what could happen?
Theresa, I can’t wait to touch base with you, this is going to be fun.
Ann, omg, omg, omg: reading this makes ME want to run and shop at Peonies. Thank you for the great piece on our shop. We loved spending time with you and we join the mission to ‘connect Connecticut.’
Love this piece, LOVE Peonies! This confirms I am LONG overdue for a vist to this exquisite shop. Thank you for sharing!
Call me silly, but I think you should get in the car right now!
Annie Mame what a wonderful feature!!!!! Peonies sounds like an amazing place!!!! I WILL get in my car and head right down there!!! Thank you SO much for your fabulous blog!! LOVE to hear about Connecticut gems like Peonies!!!!
Don’t forget to stop by the drive-thru and get a coffee.
Ann, You are too funny!!
But just in case, it is Thursday night and Peonies is open until 7PM. I’m still here so come on over Mary Ellen.
Laurel, THAT was funny.
I’m already a Peonies devotee… was there today dropping off goodies and drooling over the exquisite Moo Roo handbags that are to die for.
I am so glad that I am now in the Peonies loop, I didn’t even know what I was missing.
Sounds like where I want to be!
OH NO-my best kept secret is out! I LOVE this place–I always walk out of Peonies with the most amazing pieces–and yes, with SEVERAL of those great pink bags. This is a fabulous place with amazing quality and value–enjoy!
Yes, the secret is out, let’s hope it’s mobbed in the coming weeks.
Ann-
You missed the best part! Pam cleaned out my closets and I received monthly checks! Pam has extraordinary taste and can make beef wellington out of hamburger meat! She took things I hadn’t worn in years (or ever!) and matched them with things in the store so somebody is looking like a million dollars today. Now I can take the money I made and head for Peonies, too!
Lynda, that is so cool, found money!
You should visit Brazen Betties in Torrington, local shop owned by a 30-something girl. She features local artists, clothes, jewelery all made in Connecticut.
You are so correct I have to get up there to see her, wonderful little store.
