I apologize for the lack of posts for the past week and a half. I was having issues with the website, I also had a friend in New York, and then war was waged on Ukraine by Russia. Every time I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel, something else happens. […]
It’s freezing in New York right now but warm weather so I look forward to spending some time at home reading and watching movies. These are some things to do, watch, buy, and enjoy this weekend no matter what the weather is where you live. I had the pleasure of attending the press preview for […]

When everyone found out I was visiting San Francisco, they all suggested I should visit the store MARCH on Sacramento Street. They are known for their very chic selection of products that include tabletop pieces, cookware, furniture, art, and even some clothing. They are very particular about photos but allowed me to take some to share […]
I hate to beat a dead horse but I’m not sure how much of this winter I can take. Spring is so close yet it feels so far away. So please indulge me while I gaze longingly at these photos of green spaces and pretty flowers. Winds of March, we welcome you, There is work […]

Myself included and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this […]
