My favorite time of year is a very happy toss-up between the week of Derby and every day that falls between Thanksgiving and our annual holiday trip to Chicago to see the Christmas lights. Falling just behind, though, is the moment I get to set my table for my birthday, for the 4th of July.

The All-White Easter Table
With Kentucky weather what it has been (read: nothing but rain for the last 73 years... or so), and Spring and Derby season on the horizon, I find myself just dying to have some real change of season in my life. I'm craving the tulip trees to bloom, the grass to raise its head from the Earth, and ...
Galentine’s Day Tabletop
February 13th, Galentine’s Day…. A holiday that didn’t exist until Leslie Knope brought it to everyone’s attention on Parks and Recreation. I love the idea of a day set aside just for me and my girlfriends, a time to celebrate each other as well as our friendships. And, if ...
The Christmas Table
My obsession with Pottery Barn's buffalo check spilled over into our dining room this season, where we've already hosted a couple of holiday meals. These fun, seemingly casual plaid plates looked a little regal and sparkly when combined with a few other simple elements, like clean linens, ...
Deck the Halls!
I do love the holidays. While my Thanksgiving is my favorite (Derby not included), it's the Christmas decorations that get my heart swooping. This year, I found myself swooning over the black and white buffalo check accessories from Pottery Barn, and decided to keep the rest of my decorations ...

Here it is, friends... THE biggest shopping day of the year, so they say. I've never been a fan of the day-after-Thanksgiving early morning rush- I'm a small business Saturday girl, myself, if I shop this close to the holidays at all. Still, "Black Friday" seems to be a national ...
The Thanksgiving Table
Friends, today we are on the road (I'm writing on my laptop while tethered to the internet coming from my phone, which is being charged by my car... Ah, technology!) headed North to Cleveland for the Thanksgiving holiday. Despite not being in our own home for the long weekend, I still ...
Setting the Table for July 4th
I'm fortunate enough to have a cool birthday- the song "Born on the 4th of July" always had meaning in my house, and the holiday birthday has built in me a serious love of fireworks. Over and over I heard that the entire country celebrates with me. More often than not, I'd have those ...
On Thanksgiving, 2016
It's no secret that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Regardless of my birthday on the 4th of July and the Derby (which is DEFINITELY considered a holiday for those of us in Louisville), it's Thanksgiving that always gives me the warm fuzzies. There's no underlying motive- no pressure ...
