As they say, Home is where the heart is. This was our first Christmas, celebrated in the home we’re restoring on Lake Tahoe. If you’re looking for beautifully finished rooms, this is not the place! Not one room is finished, but we relished the chance to spend time with our son and daughter. We sat around the fire and offered support and encouragement to Andrew, who’s going through a divorce. Thankfully, there are no children involved. Betsy surprised us with the good news that she’ll be able to graduate with her class, at West Point, on May 23rd, despite some…

Gift giving can be overwhelming. But truthfully, it’s more about the spirit the gift is given in. A warm hug, a hand written card, taking the time to find or make something…goes a long way, to make someone feel special. We know money doesn’t grow on trees…at least not in my back yard… but here are some ideas, that might make a friend smile…all for less than $25! A wine cork, made from a vintage knob, for the wine lover you love, $22. A magnifying glass paper weight, $14. This super cuddly infinity scarf, will keep your best friend warm!…

Oh my! Where did November go? You too? Hopefully, we’ll all get a breath of fresh air, between Thansgiving and Christmas The month started out, at a fun gathering that friend and customer, Penny, had at her barn, in El Dorado Hills. What a great idea for girlfriend time! Penny is a master flower arranger and this was her beautiful wreath! Everyone brought natural elements from their yards. The finished wreaths were beautiful and all so different! Betsy marched in the NYYC Veteran’s Parade. This is her final year at West Point. It has been such a wonderful experience for…

I was so lucky to get my hands on this table! What a treat! The Furniture Angels are being very kind to me! I knew that this would be the perfect piece to use gesso on. As is usually often the case, I neglected to take a “before” picture of this little treasure. This photo was taken after two or three coats of gesso had been applied. It was just a bit brighter butter yellow before. The poor top had been neglected/abused. Use your imagination and think “water rings”. Gesso is a powder, that you mix with water, one to…
