Under the Tuscan Sun: Our Villa
Sep 30 2015 ·0If you follow me on Instagram (you should!), you may already know that last week I had the opportunity to travel to Tuscany along with 11 other women to celebrate a dear friend’s birthday (yes, one of the big ones, shhhh!) No, it wasn’t Cheaper by the Dozen, but it was a lot more fun!
We rented a villa just outside of Sienna. The cost was surprisingly reasonable when split 12 ways. Even better than the affordability factor was the villa itself. It was a breathtaking home with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms ~ must when a dozen women are sharing a space for a week. The setting was right out of the movies. The villa design was light and airy and grounded by a large harvest table with a marble top in the Kitchen which we gathered around for late night conversation and a sip (or 2…) of Limoncello.
Come take a peek of a week that has etched memories on my heart…
A Poem & A Painting: Happy 80th Birthday
Jul 27 2015 ·1I have a special place in my heart for “decade” birthdays. I have a group of dear friends (aka The Clinique Gang) and for years we have gathered to celebrate one another’s milestone birthdays. I painted this week’s painting for a friend’s Mom who is celebrating her 80th Birthday ~ woo hoo! She is hoping to receive 80 cards and I was happy to send mine along!
I thought this poem/verse made a nice accompaniment to this week’s painting…
Rustic Alaskan Wilderness Meets Glam 50th Birthday Party
Jan 14 2015 ·0That title is a mouthful, isn’t it! Just wait until you see the party ~ pardon my phone pics, but trust me, it was gorgeous.
Over the holidays we attended a very special {BIG} Birthday Party. The Birthday Girl’s husband and her best friends surprised her with one of the most charming parties I have ever attended.
The location was tricky, there were about 50 guests and music was a necessity. The party had to have a theme, of course. Allow me to review the facts about the Birthday Girl:
