For the Love of Harry

Here I am at 12:20am waiting on the Harry Potter movie to start! It took major convincing from my daughter Stuart to get me here. She had to bribe her little sister Beau with doing chores, front seat rights just to name a few. I love Harry and secretly I am excited. All around us [...]

Martha, Martha, Martha

OK so I am reading Martha Stewart’s magazine and I have to admit that she makes me insecure! She went to jail and I think she actually came out BETTER. I am not, nor have I ever been, a Martha junkie but her mag sometimes gets me in the grocery store check out. Tonight, post [...]

Pajamas and Poetry

What is a “study”? A room? Where I study? Ugh…not MY study. Not the one I designed. It stayed frozen for many years. Books silently watching me come and go once in a while but never staying. Now, with the advice of powerful women which I hold close and cherish as my friends, I have reinvented [...]

Peaceful, Easy Feeling

This is my pond.  It gives me so much joy. Last weekend I wanted to clean it and the fountain was sluggish.  I needed to get it moving so there would be enough air for my fish. I felt it necessary that I go IN the pond.  It was a sight to see!  I had goggles [...]

Design Tip-Decorative Trays

Who doesn’t need a drink on a beautiful tray? When I saw these deep purple lacquered trays with elephants, I about fell over! So sleek and cool (in my humble opinion). Kids are back in school, things SHOULD slow down a little, so have some friends over, “prissy” up the tray and make everyone feel [...]

Where have I been?

I just went to Zia Taqueria and what I want to know is where have I been? Que Bueno! It was so good! So I have to come from Mt. Pleasant. Big deal. It was really good and the margarita is not just the nasty mix you get at so many places. Go for the [...]

Way Over Due

I can’t believe it has taken me this long but I finally pulled the long garden table out to have dinner looking over the top of the hill, across the marsh and water. I had a dinner party in mind. I have had a dinner party in mind on that hill for years…12 to be [...]

The things you’ll do…

It’s incredible what the love of your children can make you do. Tonight I sit in a parking lot, in an old beach chair, and it is 12am! I am here seeing Eclipse. Who cares about vampires anyway? It’s fun watching my 12 year old and her friend try and fight being sleepy. I am [...]
