on a break

Due to a family emergency I will be taking a week or so off from blogging.
Once I am feeling up to it I will be back. Meanwhile, thanks for your visit and for your understanding.

The flowers in Rancho Santa Fe astound me. Hope y’all have a lovely and get a chance to breathe in some fresh air.

At New York International Gift Fair last year the freight guys lost our chairs. Shocking, huh? I did not want to use the ugly folding chairs provided by the Javits Center. I spotted a fabulous chair at the Fermob booth and pleaded my case. They were super super kind and let me borrow two of their cute yellow folding bistro chairs, and I fell in love with their products. I’m particularly fond of their Luxembourg Collection. The bar cart would be sooooo cool in their Verbena Green color outside next to our pool. The orange drink tray and silver pitcher (both from CB2) would be make the whole setup even more chic. Add in the crazy straws from For Your Party to keep it cheeky.
I’ve been dreaming of Paris lately, which inspired this little montage.
The dress (which I could never wear because I’d be afraid to sit down in it, but love) is by Alice & Olivia. The gold J. Crew heels remind me of a pair I love to borrow from my Mom (she’s had them for more than 30 years). The triple coil earrings are from GirlProps.com. The champagne is Perrier-Jouet. And the Roost Golden Berry champagne flutes (which I LOVE and want sooooo bad) are available at Dreamy.
We’ve just listed some limited edition letterpress valentines to our Etsy shoppe!
