Elizabeth is probably the most creative person I know who is not a designer. She is astounding. She and Clarke sourced a lot of things for the room, but the table and many other pieces were from Luciano in Carmel before he closed down & were found by Tom."<BR/><BR/>btw, being "the most creative person I know" if you are Caroline, is something indeed.Mrs. Blandingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402207636108999627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-80692214302341349302008-08-13T12:26:00.000-05:002008-08-13T12:26:00.000-05:00You are such a wonderful mother.

(I am now realizing I did no photo credits; vacation is doing me in.) When I was double checking my notes on line I came across the yellow chairs and could not resist.<BR/><BR/>And Caroline? Totally amazing. You might remember if you glanced at the Kansas City design quiz a while ago that her college advisor was Condeleeza Rice. And that is only the tip of the iceberg. And again I will tell you, she's lovely.Mrs. Blandingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402207636108999627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-61822200804501832722008-08-12T07:35:00.000-05:002008-08-12T07:35:00.000-05:00Patricia - always a good excuse to try wine!Patricia - always a good excuse to try wine!Mrs. Blandingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402207636108999627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-69501031545109324952008-08-12T07:29:00.000-05:002008-08-12T07:29:00.000-05:00Patricia -- eerie.
