An Invitation from Green 1/19/26

Last week, we turned a spotlight on our love for blue.

Now today, let's lovingly gaze at blue's twin sister, green. Not an identical twin mind you, a fraternal one.

Green is the background that lets life appear.
It does not compete. It supports.

I'll claim that green is a neutral, and I bet you'll agree. It pairs easily with blue, pink, yellow, brown, purple, and even animal prints.

Because green already belongs to everything. READ MORE

Fresh Lilacs, Spring Greens, & the Beauty of Change 4/14/25

This weekend, I’ve been thinking about change. Maybe it's the chill and constant rain which followed that "80 degree + blue sky + teaser of a day" Mother Nature had sent earlier last week. Or perhaps it’s the rebirth that's erupting in the garden outside my window. Yes, let's seize on the latter.

"Spring is a gentle reminder of how beautiful change can be." — Unknown

Good old change — it is the only thing we can always count on.

But change can also be a wee bit scary — at least in my experience. Recently, I've been burrowing down a philosophical rabbit hole, searching for tools to better navigate change. READ MORE

It IS Easy Being Green 1/27/25

A disproportionate number of rooms in my house are green. The other day, I got to thinking , "I wonder why that is?" (I do so love this about January - the only month whose gift is time for aimless rumination). My first thought was: "Bringing the outdoors in is always a wonderful idea." And coming...

Summer Loving Blues and Greens 7/1/24

My friend Merrill and I rode bikes out to Cisco last week, and this is the view that greeted us. I wish I had the photography skills to better capture the myriad shades of blues and greens emerging from the departing fog. Doesn't the little house on the left look like it belongs in a Nancy Meyers movie? What would the plot be ... hmm, how about this: Middle aged woman <still wears the same size jeans she did in college, and has the most perfect easy breezy hair style, despite the island's relentless humidity>, borrows a friend's Nantucket cottage for a weekend and ends up staying through to Christmas "to find herself". What do you suppose it is that our protagonist finds? Just how you answer that may tell you something about where you are in life. 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
