Wedding Belle
Once upon a time, a lovely young woman stood on a cliff overlooking a gorgeous beach in Cabo San Lucas thinking about the man of her dreams whom she had been dating for several years, and imagined, "This is the place I want to be married!" Last July, following a seven mile, five hour trek to Cathedral Lake above Aspen, Colorado, with the same man of her dreams, this … [Read more...]

A Shopping (Frenchie) Frenzy
Pardon our absence as we shop for antiques! Back many years ago, during an unfortunate period in my high school years when I was swept up in a family frenzy of accompanying every birthday present with a limerick or rhyme, I ran out of creative juices at one point and gently revolted by coming up with my own version of a birthday card, which read: Mother, mother, I … [Read more...]

Loxwood – The true Parisian handbag
We have a pretty full agenda when we do the three-day Paris portion of our “Paris and Provence” trips. Most of our guests have already been to Paris at least once, and so this is a return visit with more of an insider bent. We brush over the tourist highlights and focus instead on seeing Paris through the eyes of a native, taking public transportation, visiting local stores, … [Read more...]
Best Mosquito Repellent ever: Aromaflage
Poor Mikey. He probably didn’t expect the warm welcome he got from our store last week, just as some of our nice loyal readers are probably not expecting a blog about mosquitoes! But we love the marriage of a good story and a fine product, and this one is about both: Why a nice a nice guy named Mikey, and his lovely wife Momo, came up with the best mosquito repellent ever … [Read more...]
What’s in a Puppy Name
I’m obsessing over puppy names. That’s right, 10 months after we lost our darling dog Scurry (perfectly named -- by our then 14 year old daughter – for the Atlanta Beat soccer goalie, Briana Scurry), we have given in to the pleas of our now fully grown daughters (who should have no say in the matter, but somehow do) to get another dog. Scurry was a wonderfully behaved … [Read more...]
We are stronger than you
I write this as I am sitting on a plane from Paris to Atlanta, following an idyllic week in Paris and the South of France, doing everything I love best. And then this. A disgusting, disheartening, and despicable turn of events, that makes me bubble over with anger – and resolve. First, get the anger off my chest: To the terrorists who invaded the most beautiful city in … [Read more...]
