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

I'm not a New Year's resolution'er.  It seems like a perfect set up to feel like a failure.  There's plenty of opportunity for that to go around without setting yourself up for it.   But, as you've probably figured out, I can navel gaze with the best of them.   So, how to take this inflection point that the world hands us once a year, and rotate your sun into something better still?   Sigh, don't I wish I could serve that up on a silver platter.  READ MORE

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
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
