Whale of a Chardonnay

St. Francis Winery & Vineyards partnered with Vineyard Vines to create a limited edition Whale of a Chardonnay. This wine is made from 100% hand-picked Sonoma County fruit. Each bottle comes with a canvas 2-bottle Vineyard Vines wine tote. A percentage of all sales goes to Waterkeeper Alliance. What's your favorite wine?

Hunt Valley Antiques Show

Last month I went to The Hunt Valley Antiques Show's New Collectors Soiree which benefited Family and Children’s Services of Central Maryland.

BLS & EAS

Wine tasting

Scotch tasting

We toured the antique show with designer Stiles Colwill who also owns Halcyon House Antiques. He was a wealth of knowledge. One of the most valuable lessons he taught us was don't take a dealer's word for it.

He was wearing needlepoint Stubbs and Woottons...which made me value his opinion that much more.

Were they excited about new purchases...or was it the scotch?

The two lovely chairs of the event.

After the show we headed to Tark's for dinner and drinks.

JCW decided to make an appearance at the end of the evening.

Happy Travels

I spent the weekend in beantown and finally had a little time to work on my never ending needlepoint project. I am confident that one day it will be wearable...one pig down seven to go. Are you working on any needlepoint projects?

Sockless in Sperrys

This weekend marks the start of Spring. It's officially time to burn your socks! Do you go sockless in your Topsiders regardless of the temperature?

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! xx

Nordstrom Run

When it comes to different classes of Nordstroms my local store isn't top of the list but I happy to have it just the same. One can only dream about the Nordstrom in Seattle with the Chanel Boutique...I hope that isn't some sort of urban legend?

I recently headed to Nordstrom to pick up a new bottle of my favorite perfume Prada Amber.

I couldn't resist checking out the latest Tom Ford sunglasses...I need another pair of sunglasses like I need a hole in the head.

The Nordstrom Cafe is a great place to grab a bite...so that's just where my mom and I headed.

She ordered a cup of soup and half a sandwich. It came with a side salad and the to die for Champagne Vinaigrette.

I went with one of my standards...a goat cheese salad. It had apple chips which added the most delightful crunch.

Do you have a Nordstrom nearby?
