Girls Just Want to Have Sun 3/17/25

Girls Just Want to Have Sun 3/17/25

Today's note is but a brief postcard.   It was my last weekend in Florida, and while I'm clothed in a wee bit more than the two gals above*, I am 100 percent embracing their vibe.   As you read this, I'll be on a plane home - and after a crazy successful and fun trunk show at the Gasparilla Inn, I took these last few days off (mostly) to kick back and soak in the sun.
 
I hope your week is soaked with sunshine, fair winds and following seas.   READ MORE

Seeking Tranquility 3/10/25

"The cure for anything is salt water:
sweat, tears or the sea.”

                                   Isak Dinesen

Given a choice, I’ll take the sea, please.  I’ve just arrived on the Florida gulf coast for a work trip (yes, lucky me - my trunk show at the Gasparilla Inn opens today).  And I did indeed dip my whole pale self into the sea within hours of my flight's arrival.   Old Isak would be pleased to hear that there's also been a fair amount of sweat in getting to today.  Clever readers know that life isn't all Instagram stories, preparation for such a trip isn't limited to booking a mani pedi and shopping for caftans.  READ MORE

The Voice of the Tides 3/4/24

The Voice of the Tides  3/4/24
This week, I'm thinking about water.  Today, we are heading to Florida, where I'll be doing a trunk show at the Gasparilla Inn.   I'm looking forward to some down time too, walking the beach and watching the waves.   There's no sense in me searching for a good metaphor for that restorative feeling of being by the sea, because I know that you already know precisely what it is that I'm trying to say.

There's just so much good stuff to learn from the sea.  You can skip reading right now, and go pick up Anne Morrow Lindbergh's "A Gift from the Sea".  You'll be glad you did.   But I've got a Love Note left here to create, so I guess I'll pick up my proverbial pencil and let my thoughts flow ...  how about this (I have been giving it some thought all week) ...  the ebb and flood of tides are a mirror of life.  Rushing and receding.  No phase lasting forever.   READ MORE

Thankful 11/21/22
Today I am off to Harbour Island with family and friends to warmer climes.  I'll tell you all about it in a future note.  The elves in the studio will be working this week, although we will be shipping a little more sporadically than usual, so thank you in advance for your patience.   READ MORE
