Christmas Shop

    C. Whitmore Gardens of Amagansett has launched its Christmas shop, which is stocked with such holiday items as Fraser fir Christmas trees, a mixed variety of wreaths, garlands, and poinsettias, ornaments including selections from the Jim Marvin Collection (decorator of the White House Christmas tree), fresh floral arrangements and centerpieces, and other decor including glittering decorative branches, flameless and traditional candles, and home fragrances. 

    C. Whitmore Gardens also provides interior and exterior holiday decorating services for residences and businesses. The shop is on Montauk Highway.

Company Party, Writ Large

    East Hampton Point is coordinating a townwide multi-company holiday party scheduled for Friday, Dec. 14, at which local businesses can buy tables instead of renting an entire venue.

    The party will feature a gourmet buffet, holiday cocktails, music, and special holiday decor. Tables seat 6 to 12 guests. Tickets are $48 per seat, including tax and gratuity. Drink tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door, and a cash bar will be available.

    A gift basket of nonperishable foods will be assembled and donated to the East Hampton Food Pantry.

Handmade Gifts

    Small works, jewelry, apparel, home goods, surfboards, design items, furniture, trinkets, and unique items by local artists and craftspeople are on sale at Neoteric Fine Art in Amagansett, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    The gallery’s holiday market showcases handmade crafts and small affordable works by local artists, emphasizing a personal, human touch.

   Sweet ’Tauk, a brand already known for its many flavored lemonades that were sold in farmers markets and in two dozen retail shops from Montauk to Bridgehampton last summer, has leased a shop in Montauk and expanded its inventory for the holidays to include the work of local artisans.

    Located on South Etna Avenue just west of Naturally Good, the little shop is chock full of holiday gift items, among them scented soaps made by the Southampton Soap Company, Amagansett Sea Salt, holiday-decorated cookies, wool hats, T-shirts, Christmas tree ornaments (some made from wine corks), bunches of fresh rosemary tied with red ribbons, and framed art and fish prints, one of which is of a large, exquisitely detailed squid. Prices range from $3 for the ornaments to $3,000 for the squid.

    Deborah Aiza, who has lived in Montauk for two years after moving from East Hampton, is the owner. She began tinkering with flavored lemonades in the summer of 2011, when she was “downsized” from her job in retail and found herself at a standstill. “I was in crisis mode, figuring out what to do with my life,” she said.

    A friend suggested the flavored lemonades. Ms. Aiza began making them using the kitchen in the shop she now rents — back when it was Michael’s, a food joint that moved on. “Life gave me lemons and I went from there,” she said.

    When she learned the lease was available, she signed on and got in touch with people she met while making the rounds of the farmers markets, including the one in Montauk, and invited them to sell their work from the shop.

    “I put out the feelers and it happened like this,” she said, snapping her fingers. “Everything in the shop has been created by someone who lives here.”

    On Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, she opened, promoting “Handmade for the Holidays.” The result, she said, has been phenomenal.

    “I thought it would be fun and give me something to do. But then it took off and I thought, ‘Hey, maybe I’ll even break even.’ As it went on I thought, ‘Wow, I might even make money on this,’ ” she said, smiling.

    A side benefit from running the shop has been the opportunity to meet the people of Montauk. “I found what I was looking for, a sense of community. I can’t believe how busy it is out here; it’s busier than in East Hampton.”

    And, yes, she will continue to sell her lemonades in flavors that include blackber­ry-ginger, watermelon-cucumber, peach-Thai-basil, and cantaloupe-lem­on verbena. She will be open on weekends through Christmas Eve from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment during the week. She can be reached through her Web site, sweettauk.com.

    Ms. Aiza will hold on to the shop next summer. In addition to the flavored lemonades, she plans to sell popsicles, ice cream, and other sweet treats.

   WordHampton Public Relations has been recognized with a MarCom Award for its work on Long Island Restaurant News, a Web site on the region’s dining scene.

   The company, which has an office in Springs, won the Gold International Communicator Award for best business-to-business Web site. WordHampton represents restaurant, real estate, hospitality, and lifestyle businesses on Long Island and throughout the metropolitian area.

    Thanksgiving weekend brought a crush of visitors to Amagansett, and the shops and restaurants of Main Street enjoyed brisk business. Among them was Ganeaux, which opened at 167 Main Street on Nov. 24.

    Christine Ganeaux, formerly a co-owner of Rube, across the street in Amagansett Square, hand-picked all of the merchandise in her new shop, which features an eclectic assortment of clothing, jewelry, accessories, books, scented candles, and more.

    Ms. Ganeaux, who relocated from New York City in 2001, founded her own clothing line, Christine Ganeaux, “but I won’t have it in here until spring,” she said. “It’s in the works.”

    Ganeaux at present stocks a fraction of the clothing that will ultimately be on display — with the holiday season under way, books and other gift ideas are prominent in the bright, airy space. These will remain, she said, “but I’ll probably have 10 more racks of clothing, men’s and women’s.” Available now is clothing from Universal Works, Each X Other, and Gilded Age, as well as jewelry by James Colarusso, perfumes and lip butters by Mox Botanicals, and books such as “Nobody’s Fool” by Yoshitomo Nara, a contemporary Japanese artist, “Jones Beach” by Joseph Szabo, and “Patti Smith 1969-1976,” a book of photographs by Judy Linn.

    Ms. Ganeaux’s father is an importer of Japanese antiques, a connection that has brought items including Nambu cast-iron bottle openers, antique brass jewelry cases, and Futagami brass bottle openers.

    Clothing lines to be represented include R13 Denim, H.W. Carter and Sons, Swildens, Archival, and General Knot and Co. Ms. Ganeaux has a workshop on the premises, so alterations of clothing purchased there can be done onsite.

    Nothing in the store is made in China, she said. “It’s hard to find reasonably priced things made in the U.S., but I found some. As much as I can, things here are made in America — handmade, not mass-produced.”

    If Ganeaux brings to mind a boutique in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood, it’s likely a reflection of the proprietor’s ­aesthetic sensibility. “My first shop was on Crosby Street, and I lived downtown for a long time,” Ms. Ganeaux said. “I guess it’s in my genes. I think East Hampton is a little more ‘Fifth Avenue’ and ­Amagansett’s more ‘downtown,’ ” she mused.

    Ganeaux is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

    An open house at 53 Toilsome Lane last month allowed the community an intimate look at the work of Yankee Barn Homes, a New Hampshire designer of traditional barn houses, farmhouses, carriage houses, and cottages.

    The company produces its standard designs in-house — among them the East Hampton, the Tate Barn Home, the English Cottage, and the Laurel Hollow — as well as customized versions, said Jeffrey Rosen, its creative director, who has overseen the houses that have been built here to date. It can even start from scratch to create unique designs, he said, but the traditional post-and-beam approach exemplified in its standard designs is the most popular.

    In East Hampton, Yankee Barn Homes are also found at 51 Toilsome Lane (English Cottage), 61 Buell Lane (based on Yankee Barn Homes’ Cottage design), and 48 Sherrill Road (a Tate Barn Home). The shell package includes wall and roof panels, a Douglas fir timber frame, exterior siding and trim, a staircase in the buyer’s choice of wood, first and second-floor sub-floors, and Andersen windows and exterior glass doors, the latter within a Douglas fir entry door. The  Douglas fir timbers are sourced from members of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative; clients can also opt to use reclaimed timbers.

    The roof and wall panels are built with a proprietary insulation that not only provides high thermal resistance, said Mr. Rosen, but is also more environmentally friendly than polystyrene, a common alternative. The airtight house, he said, makes for long-term savings on energy consumption.

    For clients, the process begins with a phone call. “We discuss location, square footage, cost, and then have an ‘A’ phase and a ‘B’ phase,” said Mr. Rosen. The first involves a deposit, which gets the buyer a design. This can involve a visit to the company’s headquarters in the town of Grantham, a visit from a representative to the buyer, or even a meeting by videoconference. “Once we have a design, we can do a video walk-through,” Mr. Rosen said. “The house gets designed, and all final decisions are made.”

    Next comes a 50-percent deposit, which puts the house in production. “It’s scheduled so that the foundation in the ground has all the local permits, which we don’t do. The platform has to be on top of a foundation,” Mr. Rosen explained.

    The company delivers the shell components via tractor-trailer and either helps clients find a builder or sends an assembly crew to the site, after which the owners can hire people to complete construction. Acting as one’s own general contractor is not recommended.

    Once the components have arrived, the house can be built in as little as 10 to 14 days. By virtue of its post-and-beam design, Mr. Rosen said, “it goes up as a traditional barn-raising, in the sense that you see the frame first and then all panels get put into the frame,” including roof and window installation. Interior finishing follows.

    The company emphasizes green design and construction. Because the components are pre-cut, pre-fit, and essentially assembled in Grantham, significantly fewer materials are wasted, and much less garbage accumulates on the site.

    Environmental sensitivity, said Mr. Rosen, has always been part of Yankee Barn Homes’ philosophy. It recycles wood shavings by donating them to local farmers, who use them as bedding for livestock, and burns scrap timber and lumber for heat. All the materials are American-made.

    Its finished products evoke, as its name and the names of its houses suggest, an earlier, simpler time. This, Mr. Rosen suggested, is particularly desirable in a metropolitan region. “In the New York area,” he said, “everyone’s life is so hectic and fast. There’s a draw to a handmade appearance of a structure. That’s the whole barn movement — to embrace the past, if you will.”
