Welcome to Folly!

We, at Folly, are passionate about one thing…that is, life’s little pleasures:
  • a fabulous scarf with your white tee and jeans
  • tortoise shell hoops to pull your whole look together
  • placecards at Sunday supper with old friends
  • an amazing book left in your guestroom for someone else to discover
  • a favorite embroidered tunic for lunch on the beach.

It doesn’t have to cost a fortune…but it makes all the difference.
Folly: noun, pronunciation: \fol-ee\
Syn: caper, escapade, mirth, extravagance, luxury, frolic, lark, romp, caprice, whimsy, gaiety, frivolity, giddiness.

In fact, Folly did begin life as a goddess… “the goddess from whom man derives all mirth and cheerfulness!”

IN PRAISE OF FOLLY, written by Erasmus in 1511, applauds her as a creature, foolish and frivolous, but full of laughter and sweetness.

As he wrote, “I charm away woes and make life bearable. So, live and drink lustily, my most excellent disciples of Folly.”
