Setting the Tropical Table

Mercedes Salazar Monkey Candle Holders

 
I am always on the lookout for fabulous pieces for setting my table with tropical, island, Palm Beach style. These incredible raffia monkey candle holders certainly fit the bill. These are woven in Iraca Palm by Caribbean coast Colombian craftsmen.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Ginger Jars with Green Stands

 
Happy St. Patrick's Day. Although my last name is Irish, it was my late husband who was from Boston and Irish. I don't have an ounce of Irish in me. I grew up north of Chicago where the Chicago River was dyed green for St. Patrick's Day. Very memorable!

Denim Dressing

Short Sleeve Chambray Dress

 
I love dresses and am not a jeans person at all. But I love denim and denim dresses. I have quite a few and find them perfect for running errands, especially things like farmers markets, garden centers and grocery shopping. Also great for all the outdoor activities around here like botanical gardens, boat rides, and such. And you look put together enough for meeting a friend for lunch.

Flower Power - Spring Dressing

Dorris Dress in Graphic Gerbera in Navy & Pink

 
This is such a wonderful little dress. I love the scoop neckline, short bell sleeves, and contrast binding. It can be worn belted or not. It has pockets! A great floral but very modern. Navy and pink are my two favorite colors and perfect together.
