Lifestyle Thursdays: The Man We Love

Did you know that The Menagerie is the only boutique store in Austin that carries William Yeoward Crystal?  That's just one of the reasons we love, love, love the man himself, William Yeoward.  He knows the value of local, boutique shops like ours.

We also adore his sense of style.  Renowned the world over for his expertise in design - from tabletops to interiors - William was recently profiled on ElleDecor.com.

For this week's installment of Lifestyle Thursdays, we wanted to highlight some of our favorite William Yeoward Crystal pieces.  These make excellent additions to any home, or wonderful gifts.

Fern is one of William Yeoward's signature patterns.  Shown: goblet.
This Wisteria Trumpet Vase measures 4" tall and makes a wonderful bedside vase.

We love the simplicity of Yeoward's Alice Bowl, perfect as a centerpiece in and of itself or filled with decoration.

As always, feel free to contact us for more information.  We'd love to hear from you.
