Redemption...

I realize that I have been pretty hard on my friend Gwyneth as of late...but I just couldn't find one redeeming quality in her choice of footwear. Then I saw this...

the kitchen in her house in the Hamptons! Unbelievably beautiful and crammed full of style! I would like to apologize in public for my critical post on her poor fashion choices and just say to Gwyneth, "Right on Sista! Right on!"

Quilt Giveaway...

The Red Barn is giving away a quilt made with Sandi Henderson's ginger blossom fabric...and it is to die for...

HOO-RAY FOR THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!

Here's hoping you and yours...have the greatest day...in the greatest country in the world!

Sidenote...

Anna Maria Horner has her new fabric line up on her blog...Not my cup of tea...but very interesting to look at. I am amazed by and admire these fabric designers and their creative ingenuity!

Red...White...and Blue...3

After being completely sidetracked by dear Gwyneth yesterday...I am back celebrating the 4th with some quirky accessories that make me smile. Enjoy...

We Interrupt this Program...

I know I promised a week's worth of celebrating the 4th...but poor Gwyneth is at it again! She needs to fire her stylist and hire me...I know I could do better than this! Why...my sons-in-law could do better than this...

I know this picture is small...but my goodness...check out those gladiator shoes...the woman is stuck in a time warp...as in Egypt a couple of thousand years ago! Oh...and recently I found these...which tells me that my warning has not been heard! I'm going to start some kind of grass roots campaign to rid the world of this plague...

I am marching on Washington...anybody want to join me?

Red...White...and Blue...2!

One of the reasons I find Christmas to be such a fun holiday besides the food...shopping...presents ...food...music...family...and food (did I mention the food)...is the decorating that takes place both inside and outside of our home...plus the homes of our family and friends. There is nothing that says..."Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat"...MORE than a home filled with Christmas decorations. I also think it is fun to decorate for the 4th. Red...white...and blue is a terrific color combination. It speaks of summer fun...festivities...and feels so relaxing! See what I mean with these...

Looking at these makes me want to put up some red...white...and blue lights(I have some)...hang out our flag...buy 2 white rockers for the front porch and fill some huge pots with lots of red geraniums. Hummmm...I am off to the nursery and Wal-mart!
