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...]

New York City Weekend
By on April 24, 2013 with
A few weekends ago we went to New York City for the weekend to celebrate with our New York City friends over a beautiful private dinner with a menu created by The Sea Grill just for our party. Our table looked out to the skating rink at Rockefeller Center. While in the city, I walked around the streets feeling the energy and the awe that the city brings me. (Grand Central Station turns 100 this year!) I've been hearing good things about it for quite a while and Eataly lived up to its name! Our lunch on … [Read more...]
NY International Gift Fair
By on January 31, 2013 with
This past weekend, we were both in New York City for the NY International Gift Fair. This was our first time to the NYIGF. Last year, we went to the Atlanta Gift Show. These shows are trade shows for retailers who are in design, decor and gifts. It is basically floor, upon floor, building upon building, of products for your home. The first showroom we visited was the Global Designs showroom. Now, some vendors are protective of their products and ask that no pictures be taken, but many were more than willing to let us snap a few … [Read more...]
Assateague Island Beach
By on July 7, 2012 with
One of our favorite places in Maryland is Assateague Island Beach. Assateague Island is a nationally protected 37 mile barrier island in Maryland. Besides having a beautiful beach with lots of seashells, the island is home to a herd of wild ponies. It was the perfect place to spend our last day together after our LoveFeast Family Beach Week in Ocean City. The beach is perfect for a serene walk collecting shells. The waves and beach are great for boogie boarding. The occasional wild pony is part of … [Read more...]

Inspiration In An Italian Print Shop
By on April 18, 2012 with
About 4 years ago Kristin and I and our husbands, Todd and Devon, embarked on a week of Italian adventure. It was the first time we had traveled together. We were comfortable with eachother abroad as much as in our own backyards. We drank the best wine, shared a wonderful table in Tuscany, found the best apartment right behind the Trevi Fountain that was spotless, and snacked from fresh local markets. We discovered Todd and I are fast walkers. One day as we meandered in a neighborhood somewhere near the Spanish Steps we … [Read more...]
