Do you recognize this gorgeous light? I think I shared a different view of it last year after Miss Rosie and I visited LONGWOOD GARDENS in Pennsylvania, and after our most recent visit I am still in love with it. We’ll see more of it below, but first a recap of my life the last three months. December started out…
Miss Rosie is often the stimulus for a conversation with strangers. People stop me to ask if she is a MacKenzie-Childs bag, and we converse happily but I NEVER reveal her name. Sometimes people will help as she poses on steps and railings. But this summer, as I stood in line waiting to talk to Susan Branch, balancing a pile…
This Spring has been absolutely delightful in the northeast, with cool temps (but no sudden frosts!), and April showers bringing May flowers, so Miss Rosie and I have been garden hopping!

Walls, fences, and vistas are so glorious! Please sit back and imagine strolling about this lovely property.…
Carolyne Roehm has several delightful homes and judging from her books and website I know I could move into any one of them and be very happy. That’s not going to happen, but when I had the pleasure of visiting Weatherstone, her home in Sharon, CT, for the fundraising event, Trade Secrets, I couldn’t decide whether to focus on the gorgeous…
