You might not expect to see such an exceptional array of country French giftware in a seaside resort on the East End, but it’s there. Like any hidden treasure this distinctive shop is tucked away, a bit outside of town and worth discovering. Whether it is something for yourself or as a gift, there is much to choose from when you enter this charming, welcoming boutique. Seven years at its present location, At Home En Provence enables you to shop like you are in Europe, without needing a passport!

Shop owner, Kristine Lardner, has selected a unique assortment of antiques, home décor items, quilts, table linens, pillows, glassware, fragrances, jewelry, and more to please the most discriminating of shoppers. Frequently adding antique furniture pieces imported from France, the shop is attractively decorated as if you were viewing fine museum pieces. Constantly changing and including new items, the shop also has a clothing selection of beach cover ups, tote bags, designer tee shirts and casual clothing in the latest styles and tends. Adorable, “must have” beach and casual accessories will liven and enhance any wardrobe with this season’s fashion picks.

Off-season At Home En Provence is equally busy as they assist in party planning and special events for clients to either rent or purchase of items to make any party an elegant affair. Often called upon for ideas for favors for weddings, showers, fundraisers and at home parties, Ms. Lardner is available to make any of these events extraordinary with her line of gifts and products from the shop.
