Do You See What I See? 12/25/23

Do You See What I See? 12/25/23
I am pretty sure you do.   You see, I think, the good in the world.   You see first the little bits that connect us all.  You see and share a light in the world.   A smile.  An outstretched hand.  Little drops of beauty all around.   

You see not just a Christmas tree.  You see a beautiful image which needs no words to spread good tidings of great joy.  READ MORE

Party Favors 12/11/23

Party Favors 12/11/23
A friend's husband once called me "the gift fairy".  Gifting is definitely my love language.  In my version of heaven, I would just give all of my jewelry away ... "You have the most beautiful auburn hair and hazel eyes, these earrings would be perfect on you".   "Oh, you love the Brindle earrings?  Then have these!"  "Off to Tortuga, Robin? - here!"  Vail, Jane? - "This is for you!"   Can you hear me wistfully sigh now, "if only..."  READ MORE

I Get a Kick Out of You 12/7/23

I Get a Kick Out of You  12/7/23
Oh my goodness it's been a dream.  We are selling out of everything.  Thank YOU.   Luckily I do have a few new (and old favorite) tricks up my sleeve.  

Let's play "what to wear where".   I have a feeling you're going to be really good at this game.   We'll pick a place, and get virtually dressed to hit the town.   Starting with the Big Apple.   Step on up, and maybe one of you, my dear readers, will send me a photo of what you actually wore in one of these exact locations!  READ MORE

And to All a Good Night 12/26/22
If you're anything like me, you're probably feeling a little like that Christmas tree on the Parisian balcony.   Standing tall and looking out brightly over the last wispy trails of another Christmas .   Look a little more closely, and you'll see that the top half of the tree's lights are out.    I can relate to that.    READ MORE

Sugar Plum Fairies 12/19/22
How's your week going?   Mine had a few hiccups ... our internet was out for two days (ugh, really? during the busiest shipping week of the season?),  a family of mice set up camp in our attic - right in the Christmas decoration storage area (and I have a huge rodent phobia), and a brush with covid scrooged some fun party plans, (but everyone is healthy).    Life is what happens when you're busy planning it.   READ MORE
