Dean & Deluca and Recent Finds
Have you ever been to Dean & Deluca? This was my first visit…in fact, we made a u-turn on the highway just so I could pop in and see what all the fuss was about. I really loved the warm wood floors against the white walls. It looked so crisp and clean. And what do you think about the elk mount above the deli counter? I'm kinda liking it…a lot. Sorry vegetarians, I mean no disrespect.
Their signature tins of spices, salts and condiments were overflowing and it was so hard to choose. Plus, I couldn't remember what I might be out of at home.
And you wouldn't believe the enormous amount of Mast Brothers Chocolate they carry! Stacks and stacks of bars with their gorgeous patterned papers.
The packaging on the Mast Brothers line is simply perfection. Have you seen their videos? They take chocolate making to an entirely new level. Serious business.
Here's a few fun things I picked up during my recent travels.
An antique pewter tray from a flea market along the coast (2 bucks!), assorted spices, an olive wood spreader and brush, a dozen or so Weck canning jars and a glass bottle for my bubble bath. At the same flea market I also scored some beautiful ironstone pieces including this pedestal bowl that holds a few heart rocks from the beach.
And I couldn't pass up this old cash box with the rivets along the sides! Love, love. I also bought a couple of the old Martha Christmas books. They're almost 10 years old and the photos and ideas don't seemed dated a bit.
Well, I'm almost finished with the wine country vacation posts and then we'll go back to our regularly scheduled program. I feel some crafting coming on!

I love Dean and Deluca and can never get enough of all of the great things in the store!
Congratulations on your new job! Very exciting and I am sure a dream come true.
I have never been, but can’t wait to go there at some point. Love your cash box – I have a similar one!
I have dreamed of visiting a Dean & Deluca for 20 years! I know I can’t believe I’ve never been able to get close to one yet. I first fell in love with them when I spied their spices in those little tins, adorable!!
And the Elk head, yeah, makes me want one in my kitchen in the worst way!
Wow, what spectactular finds. I especially love that box.
I went into one in Manhattan when I was back East and I think I was in there for 2 hours just taking pictures of food! The cheese & breads….amazing. They don’t even look real. I came home with sauces and condiments that I have searched for YEARS! Great finds! That BOX!
Hi Heather,
I stepped into A Dean & Deluca in New York once – years ago, when I was in college and didn’t have dime to spend! I remember trying to absorb every little scrumptious and beautiful detail.
Enjoy!

Dean and DeLuca is just simply elegant. It is like walking into a Food and Wine magazine. I always go when I am in NY just so I can feel a teeny bit like a foodie.
I’m sooo loving this road trip of yours! More please!
Great shots, I’ve never been there but you gave us an upclose and real “look”! ~Heidi
Wish we had a D & D in Los Angeles. Yeah, know they had one years ago but it closed. Looks like a fabulous trip.
Dean and Deluca is fabulous, especially the store in the wine country. The silver-tinned spices are wonderful as is their coffee. I always look forward to the Dean and Deluca catalog too…
Great post!
Wheee!!!!
That place is mind boggling.
I think I would go into over-load, for sure.
Love your new ironstone pieces………..
I saw the mast brothers on food network and thought their place was cool. what a fab place!
Wished we had a Dean & Deluca here in PDX. Will have to check them out if we ever travel down to Napa Valley.
H~ Well I bet you won’t be surprised when I tell you that I have never heard of Dean & Deluca. The pics are great! I am loving the spice cans and the chocolate. I guess it is a blessing that we are seriously lacking in stores up here cuz my checkbook would be much thinner! Love ya! Kimberly
I’ve never been to Dean & Deluca, but I must go! I’ve been buying little deer antlers at flea markets too…what’s up with that?? I’m not sure where/how I’ll display them yet, but I love em.
Thanks for all the great pictures and info, I love checking in with you daily. It’s so exciting to see all the new things in your life! Hugs!
That cash box is beyond wonderful! So very special with those rivets. Niiiiice….
