OH what a night… Great way to kick off Modernism courtesy of Traditional Home

Such a fun evening. Cool, breezy, stylish and easy.

 A fine welcome home.

 Nothing like an uplit palm!

 I want to go to there. And dine there with neat designer Nancy Price.

AND - on the same evening… another farewell

I don't know how to explain how this made me feel. At once wistful and inspired. He's a cool character and this is just really, really neat. Somehow freeing.

- only have to watch through, ironically, 4 mins. 20 sec. 

He also has a really cool voice.

End of an era… Sad to see this Christmas tradition go...

Wonderful Christmas tradition… a behind the scenes look and a bit heartbreaking at the same time. http://www.cbsnews.com/…/darlene-loves-final-late-show-chr…/ Yep. Teared up for sure.

Sigh.

Cheers to Target… A few entertaining things that caught my eye.

Leave it to the red bullseye to quietly offer surprisingly stylish accessories for home entertaining…

There - on the back (usually clearance) end caps were several amazing finds.  The bar cart was on the main aisle - but sort of plopped down with some nice looking mid-mod chairs. Not the compelling visual story they deserved - but - still caught my eye as I am certifiably mad for bar carts these days.

Copper. Trend. Sharp. Yes, thank you.

Take a look at these cool finds…

Gotta love a fun paper clip!

FUN!

Keeping us jittery...

Here’s a brief recap of today’s headlines or why I generally avoid broadcast news…

Monty Burns has no friends… a lesson

"Monty Burns has no friends." 

Great life, retailing and PR lessons from a grocery debacle in New England

People first. 

Profit second. 

Always wins.
