A WHITE WHITE CHRISTMAS

It has become a tradition for my family to gather at my son's in June Lake, CA. for Christmas each year. Little did we know that this epic record breaking storm would hold us hostage for several days.




Four days later the snow began to melt. What a spectacular display of nature unfolded before our eyes.

Looking out towards Mono Lake from the June Lake Lodge. Mono is in the distance with a cloud obscuring it's view. You can see Silver Lake and June Lake at the bottom of the slope.

This is the view from the living room window. It was hard to pull myself away from this beautiful landscape.


It is wish for all of my blogger friends to experience a touch of magic in every day of the new year.

VENEZIA MOON

When the moon hits your eye
Like a big-a pizza pie
That's amore



What could be more amore than a full moon over Venezia? Sometimes, without plot or plan, the Universe aligns perfectly. Our only responsiblity in that moment is to drink deeply from it's beauty and abundance.

BURLAP ITALIAN STYLE

The expected: these Italian coffee bean sacks make an eye catching display.




















The unexpected:




Some of my fondest moments are being out in the world wondering around, expecting the unexpected, and viola, there it is! The most ordinary use of something so common juxtaposed with fine linens, wools and silks becomes extraordinary. Such are these stunning window displays recently seen while on holiday in Venezia.

They add unexpected style and elegance to any decor. Each pillow is designed and hand sewn personally by me.
