Can you believe that Memorial Day is this weekend? Well, this Monday. The start of summer already? Wasn’t it just snowing!? A. and I are hosting our first real party in our new house (yeah, we moved in a year and a half ago but we’ve been busy!). We’ve had family gatherings before, but this [...]

Good Morning Lovelies! I know it should be “Monday” Eye Candy and I know I should have posted yesterday but A and I were driving back home for most of the day yesterday (and napping on the couch for the rest).

A. and I were very excited to join some of our family to watch my step-mother graduate from her Masters Art Education program (and then celebrate at a fantastic family style Italian restaurant!). And I topped off the weekend by visiting a good friend in NYC [...]

Dare I say it? My living room is almost complete. My new Surya Fallon rug arrived yesterday and I thought that was going to be the finishing touch on the room, but now we might need just one more piece. As a recap, here’s the room when we did our walk through in December 2009: [...]

Happy Monday Morning to you all! Why is it that when a Monday is sunny you are that much more ready to take on the week? I hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent Saturday coordinating a wedding on a Christmas tree farm in western CT with the most idyllic views and Sunday “supervising” [...]

About a year ago I had a wave of inspiration… I was coordinating a trade show exhibit for my client at the AAHOA conference (Asian American Hotel Owners Association) and admiring the saris that the women were wearing for the formal dinner that evening. I had a thought, that I think most people don’t have [...]
