7/05/21 - Summer Pleasures - Lilies!

My lilies are going absolutely crazy this year. What pure JOY they bring. And what beautiful weather we've had here in Virginia this weekend. I know some of you in New England have not been as lucky.

Fresh cut grass, picking a perfectly ripe tomato, time for puzzles and games, and a morning saunter with my coffee through the garden to see what has burst into bloom overnight. Road trips (with Cheetos and diet cokes) and sudden stops at farm stands.

6/28/21 - Postcard from Nantucket

Lucky me spent last weekend visiting my fabulously talented friend Merrill Strange on Nantucket. When Merrill is not busy working on her beautiful hand painted ceramics, she likes to pack a walk, a bike ride, a swim and a tennis game into every day. I've never been so happy I don't play tennis - there is no way I could keep up. We walked, talked, rode bikes to Sconset (and to Surfside, Madaket and Steps beach), swam, drank a little wine, and ate a lot of delicious seafood and fresh strawberries. I called her Miraval Merrill.

6/21/21 - Florals fit for a Queen

My fabulous friend Mona texted me last week, "Did you see the Queen's pink floral dress? Loved it! You must source it!"

She was sure right. The pink frock she was referring to is below - but I just loved the Queen's pretty smile in the image above - so I had to include that one too. In another beautiful floral, also from the G7 Summit. I hope you enjoy some fun finds fit for a queen this week.
