Waterworks 5/23/23

Today's note features the cool blue hues of water. If you're like me, you know that magic feeling that rushes over you from simply slowing down and gazing at breaking waves. Or sunlight glistening on water. How is it these scenes instinctively bring on a feeling of calm and restoration? Did you ever notice how almost every spa has a signature water feature? READ MORE

A Mother's Day Bouquet 5/16/23

Hope your little lambs spoiled you. I am also one to heartily embrace the DIY option. We've got some colorfully enticing enhancements to your Mother's Day celebration below. Don't be sheepish. We also have some restocks of a few of my favorite necklaces on the website. A few years ago, in celebration of Mother's Day, I "gifted" myself two David Austin rose bushes, ostensibly from my two sons. They're blooming now, and their provenance always brings me an extra smile. My boys have no idea what a great present that was. READ MORE

"Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on earth.
For what they believe is what they will become."

Something Hydrangea Blue 4/24/23

Welcome happy Monday! It's a great week for a great week. This Saturday, the wonderful daughter of one of my dearest friends is getting married. Today, my thoughts have naturally turned to nuptials. A surprise fun spot in the wedding details has been the song for the bride and groom's first dance. The mother of the bride and I have been full of suggestions. Not that there's ever a shortage of opinions with the two of us, or with the rest of my household, for that matter. READ MORE

Che Bello 4/17/23

My thoughts turn to all things Venetian. I practically squealed with delight when I found this image of Peggy Guggenheim and her little furry friend setting off in her gondola. She just had to lead things off for us today. The glasses! Those legs! And that chic capelet - will one of my designer friends please include this silhouette in your next collection? Where do you think Peggy is off to? READ MORE
