Going up the coast to Hartford and Farmington this weekend. Can't wait....Have always wanted to visit there, but haven't had the chance until now.
One of the places I am most excited to see is the historic Mark Twain House. I have loved it since I first saw it in one of my many coffee table books on fabulous houses! Have you ever visited this unusual house? I will report back after my visit!!
I am SO EXCITED! It's going to be a big weekend around here. Older Daughter will be graduated from college on Saturday (on to grad school!), we are having dinner with some precious friends tonight (an unexpected treat) AND I am having lunch today with three of my favorite people....one of whom I only get to see a couple of times a year.
I bet you know my friend...or know her work....and if you don't, you should! Her name is Sally Lloyd-Jones, and she is the absolutely amazing author of a number of best-selling children's books, the most famous of which is The Jesus Storybook Bible. I love spending time with Sally and our dear friends, Mark and Yolie. The conversation runs the gamut and the hours we spend together seem like only seconds.
Sally's newest book, Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing, is terrific! Here is a brief interview with Sally about Thoughts:
So sorry to be gone so long! I'm back now, and still obsessing over decorating and gracious living.....and all the books by all the brilliant people who are experts in this area.
First, you must read this magnificent article! It really spoke to me...and I have most of the books mentioned as "must haves."
Picking up again with Elsie DeWolfe, you really should have her books in your library! I highly recommend both of these....and will highlight them in my Amazon store this week!
That was a big no-no in my house, growing up. I am almost always on time/schedule ....but I am going to be tardy with my posts this week. Younger Daughter is sick again....she has been unwell for almost a month now, on and off. Mostly on. So....I will be away tending to her and dealing with some volunteer commitments this week.
I will write more next week! Promise!! Thanks for your patience!!
