Happy Halloween! Jacques looks awesome as a superhero…

Seriously????

Babies!

Look! These stag-horn ferns had teeny little babies. So damned cute!

Flora Grubb (sigh....)

I love Flora Grubb. Arnica and I stopped by her amazing shop on the way to the airport after completing our Fermob furniture training. As usual the displays were a knockout. I particularly love the orange display, as you can imagine. Now we're at the airport drinking, again, with a little food on the side while waiting for our flight. More tomorrow.

Bacon chips.

Seriously. A revelation..

A day of training...

Arnica and I are hard at work in Healdsburg California at the Fermon retailer training. Notice we're drinking first. Then we're looking at furniture. Then we're learning about furniture. And we're drinking more and eating. A good time was had by all.

My favorite!

So Arnica and I are in the Bay Area ish for a client meeting and a conference in Healdsberg, which means, because of its close proximity ish to Napa Valley, that we have to dine at Bouchoun in Yountville. So happy!!!

best. restaurant. ever.

Schumacher

Our new Schumacher rep. Dropped by the shop today to show us some of the new fabric samples. So lovely! We should be getting our samples in soon, come by and take a look. You won't be disappointed! The colors are amazing!

I want.....

Herringbone floors. Either marble or wood, as long as I can have them, I don't care. Okay, maybe I do care. I would love to have herringbone marble floors in my shower. Hmmmmm.......

Things are looking good at the shop.

We're loving the new red Chinese console table with the beautiful hand-painted black bases on top. The black-and-white lambskin Turkish poufs and the red tulu floor cushions finish the look.

We won!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!

I am so excited I can barely stand it! We won the "Award of Merit"!!!!! It was such a group effort to make this happen, and I'm so grateful for the help of Jose, Arnica and Heidi. Yippee for us! Check out servingupstyle.org for better pictures, all I had was my phone.
