JUST ONE THING

Do you ever feel like you don't know where to begin?  Do you get the feeling like there are too many tabs in the files in your brain and you don't know where to start?  Well, sometimes we do too.  I once read a book that said before you do the fun stuff, you should do the important stuff first, like eating your vegetables before dessert.  But, what if your to-do's both moved you forward and also were fun?  What if you just had "JUST ONE THING" to do that would begin to make an incremental change in you, your style, your … [Read more...]

First (4 hour) Opera

You may have seen some of our fun on Instagram last weekend. We were both in New York City with our husbands to see Prince Igor at the New York Metropolitan Opera. I'd like to say that we are opera aficionados and we were well aware that this was the first time Prince Igor had been performed at the NY Met in 100 years, but to be honest, this was a first, for all of us! To attend an opera was on both of our bucket lists and seeing as my cousin, Maria Dolan is an opera singer and was performing in Prince Igor...and...seeing as the … [Read more...]

Joy of the Discovery

For years we've daydreamed about the Shop we'd own and all the fun trips that we would take. We'd dream about poolside meetings and trips to the NY market with weekends spent discovering new finds. Last winter, in a "pinch us" moment, we found ourselves in NY, together with days on end to spend at the NY International Gift Show. We were like kids in a candy store (with sore feet from the miles of walking) with aisles of endless possibility. We took notes, snapped pictures and lingered with new friends and old. The joy of the … [Read more...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

“The whole of the life -- even the hard -- is made up of the minute parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole. These are new language lessons, and I live them out. There is a way to live the big of giving thanks in all things. It is this: to give thanks in this one small thing. The moments will add up.” ~Anne Voskamp  We are thankful for you and hope that as you gather this Thanksgiving with your family and friends, the little moments of this year add up and are reflected in the Feast your share. From our … [Read more...]
