Small Notes
I can always count on Ina for dinner. Her recipe for Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic can come together beautifully in less than an hour.
Toast
Today, January 8th, I finally took down ALL of the holiday lights, two days after I had promised myself it would be done. I know everything usually takes longer than anticipated, even so, I'm toast, and it's okay.
Cocktail Meeting for Twenty
There's nothing like offering to open your home in the first week of December to get the holiday decoration ball rolling. I hung the garland the day before our intimate meeting, but have yet to light the outdoor pots. I try and do a little every day. Slow and steady. And careful on the ladder!
Quick Trip to London
I flew to London to spend some one to one time with Elizabeth, and it was invaluable.
Small Boutique Shopping
Clothing and shopping opportunities can be overwhelming and disappointing. Choosing items from a curated and smaller assortment and with the help of a trusted confident can make the process of finding something great to wear a whole lot easier.
Quick Café Curtains, and more
With some leftover rod pocket sheers from Elizabeth's college apartment and a few hours on the sewing machine, viola, new café curtains for free!
