This morning, as an experiment, I decided to select some of my most prized colorful silks and velvets and throw them in the waste basket just to see how it felt to be nonchalant and indifferent. What prompted this exercise was an article I read yesterday afternoon in a publication that is delivered to my [...]

The Silk Skirt

I am not a huge fan of flying. I have had this fear ever since I can remember. However, once the plane is steadied and I look around and see people relaxing, then I begin to relax and enjoy the mental space. My habit is to pick up a book and read for as long [...]
Returning

Sometimes I wonder where my energy went. Am I just getting old and thinking I have the energy of a twenty year old? Possibly. After my sale on Saturday, we went snow shoeing with our neighbors the next day. Yesterday, I simply collapsed in a heap of exhaustion. After New York, then staying up late [...]

New York City sunset from Central Park My husband and I returned Monday evening to be greeted by our oldest daughter who had dinner waiting and a glass of wine. How nice to return home to a warm house with the lights on and the cats happy and a special greeting. Usually we arrive home [...]

Please excuse me, but this is the most uninspiring photo that I have posted in some time. It is akin to watching the grass grow. I wanted to show you the layout of this skirt, how it is cut crosswise. It seemed the perfect pattern to accentuate the throw and its jacquard pattern. Actually, it [...]
A little break

I am feeling a little rusty the last few days, needing an outdoor break I think, a long hike in the woods. I have been inside too much perhaps, and glued to my computer or sorting and labeling and pricing and well…too rusty for words. Guess I need a Sunday to unhinge and let my [...]
Sorting and Integrating

On my early morning walks, I have become accustom to listening to audio books. I was finding that I was not working through and reading the list of books I perpetually use as a guide, so I decided to borrow some audio books from the library. This morning, I finished listening to Azar Nafisi’s book [...]
