Welcome, summer.
There’s something about these first few white-hot (or not) days of summer that feel like a blank page—sun-drenched, wide open, and humming with possibility. Maybe it’s the light: longer now, softer, spilling into the evening with no sense of hurry. Maybe it’s the white dresses—satin and linen, cotton and embroidery —appearing like a quiet little parade of joy in motion. Or maybe it’s just that this season, more than any other, invites us to softly begin again. READ MORE

From Sea to Shining Sea 2/17/25
Happy President's Day. I hope you're off somewhere fun, or perhaps better yet, enjoying some recharging of the soul while nestling in right at home.
Today's note is a quick postcard with a few new sea-ward designs and travel tips, accented with a patriotic musical flourish.
May I suggest you start your President's Day off by listening to Jennifer Hudson's inspiring rendition of the Star Spangled Banner? Click on her image below to see her performance at the 2009 Super Bowl ... in my mind a contender for the all time best version of our national anthem ever, wait til the end for her bone chilling high F note!

Self Galentining 1/22/24
Hello friends!
What fun to be sitting at my desk, looking out over a snowy garden, musing over bons mots while sifting through little drops of beauty to share on a frigid January morning. This is one I like - to paraphrase James Clear, "Be the person you would like to be".

Grace under pressure. READ MORE

A New Leaf 1/15/24
Hello and happy long weekend Monday. I hope you're doing something absolutely fabulous! I'm still a bit on cloud nine from my quick trip to see "Sargent and fashion" at the MFA Boston - it was just divine, and it's sold out for the remainder of its run, so I'll leave it there. I'm also gearing up to exhibit at the PGA show in Orlando next week, where I'll be debuting my bespoke bangles for resorts and clubs. Well, not exactly debuting, as I've been designing them for awhile now, but this is my first big push into the resort and golf industry. I've had the honor to work with esteemed clients like Monticello, the White House Historical Association, the Ocean House, and Edgartown Yacht Club (a personal favorite design). READ MORE
