New Kids On The Block

Stems, 8 Main Street, Sag Harbor 631-725-6800

A brand new home décor store has recently opened in beautiful downtown Sag Harbor (next to the Cigar Bar). The shop stocks beautiful home decorating items, including candles, live orchids and fine china by Sieger, and many other unusual items. Particularly well known for its freeze-dried flower arrangements, these exquisite and unique floral designs are a big hit with the yacht crowd and among decorators. The dried floral arrangements start with fresh flowers, which are freeze dried, then dyed, which allows them to keep their color without fading or changing. Proprietor Gillian Harding has owned shops in Los Angeles and New York City, bringing to Sag Harbor a perfect venue for unique merchandise.
