Dear Friends, Here we are, saying goodbye to summer and looking forward to the explosion of fall colors and crisp morning air. My new Nantucket Rainbow Fleet designs will capture a taste of summer all year long! Don't forget to sign up to win the 5x7 during our Labor Day contest.  Sign up here. Great news! Osterville is back! Visit Bobbi and the same friendly staff at 7 Wianno Avenue. As I've often heard, "Osterville is Cape Cod's best kept secret." So, if you haven't visited this quaint New England village, please do and stop in to say hello. The Licensed Boutique program, a “store within a store” concept to compliment my Claire Murray stores, continues to expand both nationally and internationally. We now have a UK distributor, New England Living, and are pleased to say that the Claire Murray lifestyle brand is warmly received and growing fast on the “other side of the pond”. I have designed a special rug collection, “Chelsea Gardens” to celebrate this exciting new transatlantic connection. As some of you may know, Hospice is a cause very close to my heart, and who of us has not been touched, either directly or indirectly, by the increasingly widespread incidence of Alzheimer’s? This year I am launching a program featuring the new Forget-me-not hand hooked rug to benefit both Hospice & Palliative Care and the Alzheimer’s Association. I will be donating a percentage of the proceeds for the sale of this rug to these fine organizations. Together we can make a difference! We were all relieved when the gulf spill was finally capped. This was such a heart-breaking tragedy for our coastal communities, wildlife friends and all Americans. There is still much work ahead to remediate the effects of this disaster. As many of you know, the gulf wildlife has been an inspiration to me for many years. Certain of my designs when sold will generate a contribution to this worthy cause. You can read more about it here. Thank you for being our customers over the years, but most of all, thank you for sharing the Claire Murray lifestyle. Wishing you a happy, healthy holiday season,

Letter from Claire Claire Murray, renowned artist and designer whose unique vision of the beauty around us has inspired the Claire Murray Lifestyle.
