Not this, November light filled room, warm with provenance and curated with the eye of a hostess who clearly has a great aesthetic...but most of all knows how to create ambiance and sense of family. <br /><br />On second thought, maybe this is what the holidays are all about. <br />Thanks for showing us that.

Not always a good thing.<br /><br />What is it with the spate of Anon spleen that has been vented lately? I don't mind constructive criticism, but these people rarely issue anything but condemnation. I suppose that's why they don't blog.

That is because it is pathetic and sad like your decorating. Why would you post a photo of your dining room that includes a look into the kitchen? Awful. Also awful are the stains on your chairs. And is that a tableloth or a bedsheet? The candlesticks are too big for the scale of the table and the sad pears need to be put in a bowl and accessorized. Have you not learned anything from your friend Eddie Ross? I am postive he would not have posted a photo of a sad looking pie in a cheap pie plate without styling the photo to the nth degree.

I watched it in your honor. Such a great movie. Love your blog and always look forward to new posts. <br /><br />It, along with others, inspired me to finally start my blog. I feel like I've birthed at least twins, maybe triplets. I do love it thus far, only 6 posts in but a lot swirling in my brain for post options. Thanks again for the inspiration.<br /><br />Fondly,<br /><br />GwenGwen Driscollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09098560474358923354noreply@blogger.com
