Holiday is always fun and refreshing but getting back to the daily routine often is one step away from depressing. This scenery takes my bio-rhythms to a place that makes the routine a real challenge. Nevertheless, life goes on and I’m very fortunate to have some wonderful opportunities on the docket. Sunday we had a…

What a Difference a Day Makes!!!
I told you yesterday that today we would compare and contrast Vegas to LA. So here goes. Here’s a welcome entrance in Las Vegas. And, here’s the LA version. Here’s a visual display in Vegas… And, here’s LA…oh my!!! Yesterday afternoon was spent at The Getty Museum in Brentwood…home of O.J., Reese, Ben, Marilyn and…
What Happens in VEGAS…
…really should stay in Vegas. Las Vegas is truly the only city in the world that can get away with the concept of “it’s not done until it’s overdone”. Moderation and Las Vegas are like fire and ice. Personally, the visual stimulation is exhausting. When visiting a museum or gallery there’s opportunity to take a…
Charming…
I know it may seem that this blog is more focused on food than design. Thankfully, I was blessed with a range of skills and basically use them on an as needed basis. Last evening I attended a book signing at SummerHouse in Ridgeland, MS for internationally recognized designer Barry Dixon. In a word Barry…
Good Friday, Food and Friends

To Market, To Market
In the “industry” it’s time for renewal of our creative energies. January is market time in LA, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago and New York City. I’ll be leaving Saturday to attend the New York Gift Show. I’ve been to all the major markets in the states, as well as Maison Objet in Paris. I find that…
…looks so bare!!!
I’ve seen several Facebook posts about taking down holiday decorations and how bare everything looks. When I had a gallery it was my favorite time of year. Those that got money for Christmas would come buy new “things” because “the house just looked so bare”. Truth is, we can’t wait to get all the decor…
Now or Later
I know I should be looking forward and thinking about spring but I can’t stop reflecting on this past holiday season. We enjoyed several soirees… and hosted a few of our own.
Forward and Fabulous!!!
Everything is down except the Charlie Brown tree, Bucky’s trees and a few things outside. Before I dismantle those items I must begin the new year as I’ve promised numerous people I would. I haven’t entered the world of blogging as I feel a successful blog takes a serious commitment. However, enough people that I…
