Madonna and Child

With the holidays approaching, I thought it would be appropriate to share some of my favorite old world Madonna and Child images. I would love to hear your thoughts. Enjoy! Kathie <3

Thanksgiving Table Settings

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner! It seems like it was just summertime, and we were all relaxing by the pool! Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year for celebrating with family, and getting ready for the Christmas season. I always try to come up with something new for my table each year, and thought I would share some ideas with you.

Here are some pics of tables I love this year. Please let me know what you plan to do!

Bunco!

Hello there! I had the girls over for bunco this month and we had a blast as usual! The girls wanted me to post pics of the decorations I used, so I am including those. I also wanted to give you all a sneak peak of my house, before I begin the home tour in November. Here are some of my favorite things: enjoy! Kathie <3

The Claremont Village Venture

The City of Claremont puts on a darling arts and crafts faire each year in the village. There are so many great items to get your holiday shopping started, international food, and also a children's Halloween costume parade! This is one of those times you can dress your favorite pup up and strut them around the village! The event is Saturday, October 24 from 9:00-5:00. You probably want to come early though, since parking is a nightmare!

Summerhill Ltd. Open House/Trunk Show

I am so excited to announce that I will be part of a holiday open house/trunk show at one of my favorite antique stores, Summerhill in downtown Orange! Denise always has the most amazing finds, and if you haven't come by to check out her wonderful selection of vintage chandeliers, you are truly missing out. I will be creating some new baubles for the show, and bringing some of the favorites that were available at Glitterfest. What a great time for the ladies to get out, do some shopping, and maybe have lunch at the Tea Room across the street? Sounds like a great day! Can't wait to see you all! Show will be November 6, 7, and 8.
