There will be a number of other home and gift type items up for auction as well so it may be worth stopping by the preview.  If you have to work (like me) or will not be in NYC at the time & can't be at the auction house at 10:00 a.m., you can bid live via the website.

Holiday Home Decor

I love rep stripes!
I love silk!
Any way I can incorporate them into my life is a joy to me!
I was thrilled to stumble across these today on the Brooks Brothers website:

 
How great would they look for the hoildays?!
 
Matching pillows too, these would make a great gift for someone who has everything!
