Happy Derby

CCC

 

Happy Derby! My event last night was great. I have another Kentucky Derby party tonight. Another hat! My money is on Journalism to win but keep your eyes on a horse that was just added when another horse scratched - Baeza in the 20th post position.

Kentucky Derby No-No's

Mark and Graham

 

Tonight is my Kentucky Derby Wine Tasting & Pairing. The Derby is tomorrow and my favorite horse is Journalism. I used this photo last year for a Derby post and it was so much fun, I thought I would do it again. Who can name the four mistakes in this mint julep photo?

Pet Stairs for the Chic Home

4 Step Ivory Slipcovered Pet Stairs @ CCC

Many of us have small, senior, or pets with delicate backs who we don't want jumping on and off of beds or furniture. Pet steps are great for this purpose, but many ramps and stairs are way too ugly for my home. I have found safe, good looking, and affordable pet stairs. I ordered this one in ivory and to me it looks like it could be from somewhere like Serena & Lily. It looks like it is slipcovered in white cotton duck or canvas like many beach house sofas are.

A Lovely New Candle Find

Climbing Rose 3 Wick Candle

 

I was disappointed that Target did not bring back my favorite Red Roses candle this spring as they normally do. But I just discovered this new version, a kissing cousin, that is roses blended with notes of ivy and fern and it is delightful.
