How was your Thanksgiving? For us, it was nice to have our daughter in the same hemisphere as us for a holiday…something that hasn’t happened in three years. We spent Thanksgiving at her future in-laws house, and I have to say I had the best turkey I’ve ever eaten. Her future brother-in-law recently went to Peru where he operated on dozens of children with cleft
A ‘Country’ Cottage
Last week I had the pleasure of spending the day with my friend Denise and seeing her sweet home and captivating neighborhood and I thought I would share it with you. Although I’ve lived a short drive from her home for many years, I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing this hidden gem of a neighborhood. I put ‘Country’ in quotes in the title of
Celebrating Autumn
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Autumn is so jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I’m convinced it’s nature’s way of teasing us. She’s letting us relish the visual feast before the chill and starkness of winter settles in. Soon the deciduous trees will be bare, revealing their knarled branches that possess a beauty all their own, but for now I cherish the stunning crimson, gold and fiery
The Last Weekend of Summer
It seems everyone (myself included), has been going full speed ahead with their Fall decorating, but since this past weekend was the true end of Summer, we decided to hold on For. Dear. Life. As I showed you in this post, we spent the weekend in Montauk with our friends who have a summer home there, and we lucked out with the weather. Fisherman and
A Montauk Beach House
Our friends have a lovely home steps away from the beach in Montauk, Long Island, and we were lucky enough to spend this past weekend with them. One of the first things I did upon arrival was to start taking pictures! Good thing they keep a neat home ;). Upon entering, the first room you see is the living room, which has vaulted ceilings, a
Some More Lillian August Love!
I’ve had these pictures for months now, but never got around to showing you, but while at Haven and sitting around at lunch, the question came up that is near and dear to any woman who loves to shop (which pretty much is about 90% of us). The question was ‘if you had to shop at one store and one store only for your home,
My Haven Conference Update
As I write this, I’m envisioning 300 other women just like me trying to put into words the experience that is Haven. How does one do justice to an event that brought together so many talented, creative and giving women in one place? Like most stories, it’s best to start at the beginning. I arrived at Haven on Thursday, along with my newly painted toes
A Rustic Retreat
Have you ever dreamed of running away from home and going someplace remote and quiet where the only sounds you could hear were birds chirping, the wind rustling through the trees, and the sound of a waterfall? I’m pretty sure you have. What is it about spaces like this that captures our imaginations and pulls us in ever so gently but convincingly, as if to
A Lovely Lakeside Home
Our friends Ted & Penny have, in my not so humble opinion, one of the nicest homes in our lake community. For starters, it’s right on the lake, so even if the inside looked like it belonged on TLC’s ‘Buried Alive’, it would still be a keeper, but Penny’s innate ability to put together furnishings and patterns takes their home to a place worthy of…well,
Brimfield Once Again
Sometimes a minor inconvenience turns out to be a blessing. I had to park my car a bit of a distance from the main part of the Brimfield Antique Show last week, but look what was right near the parking lot… I love watching geese take care of their young. This cutie was enjoying his spot on his owners back. I wish I had someone
