Through this blog, I feel like I share pretty much everything about me and my life with my readers. But I was discussing something with some friends last week and thought…not a lot of people know this about me…and it’s time to share…..I love nuns. They are my peeps..I have been pretty much been educated by nuns my entire life. And, at least for me, a nun is the closest to what God here on earth might be like. I have always been obsessed I mean REALLY obsessed with nuns. For years, I have stopped dead in my tracks when I see a nun in full habit and literally gasp. I am in awe of their faith and strong beliefs. I have visited many many holy places and seem to be so lucky to come in contact with nuns from all over. One day, I started taking photos of them. Just for me, sometimes to send to friends… Mostly to keep for inspiration or a reminder of my faith when I need it. I love looking back at the photos. Friends also send me photos…which I love too..I really wanted to share some of them with you. Regardless of your religion I hope you just take a moment to indulge me. Oh and if you do see a nun in a special place, please please please snap a photo and send it to me.
I ran into Home Goods yesterday (the Port Chester location) to do a quick re-cap. My phone was about to die but I did zero in on a few things. The store right now, I can best describe, as harvest heavy…a lot of fall leaves, arrangements, pumpkins, orange…you get my drift. But I think if we are patient the higher end 4th quarter merchandise assortment will be coming in within weeks. That is when stores such as Home Goods save up their really great stuff because more people shop. I will really try to stay on top of it and do more re-caps within the coming months!! Happy Shopping!!!
I cannot pass up anything chinoiserie…I fell in love with these pillows.I just don’t think I have a place for them…Please please someone go back and give them a good home. They are just too gorgeous to stay there…and another pair that you really cannot see the detail…BTW those cane back muslin covered chairs are not bad either!!!

It won the Pulitzer Prize and quickly became a global phenomenon, with more than 50 million copies in print to date.

I have posted about my BC actor friend Peter Maddocks before. I just found out that he is going to be on the show A Perfect Murder tomorrow night 9/20 in an episode called “Jump Shot”. The story is of Hollywood “golden boy” Gavin Smith – “a 20th century fox executive and former UCLA Basketball player who disappears one night in 2012. His family and detectives search tirelessly for clues but a group of selfish and heartless characters hold steadfast onto their secrets.” This sounds SOOO GOOD. I cannot wait. The episode airs on the USA network (check your local listings) at 9:00 pm.
Today’s Book Club Monday choice is Whiskey in a Teacup: What Growing Up In The South Taught Me About Love, Life and Making Biscuits by Reese Witherspoon. A friend of mine who is also a blogger emailed me this weekend that it is a MUST read. Here is the summary:
Academy Award–winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon invites you into her world, where she infuses the southern style, parties, and traditions she loves with contemporary flair and charm.
Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said that a combination of beauty and strength made southern women “whiskey in a teacup.” We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside we’re strong and fiery.
Reese’s southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken. It’s reflected in how she entertains, decorates her home, and makes holidays special for her kids—not to mention how she talks, dances, and does her hair (in these pages, you will learn Reese’s fail-proof, only slightly insane hot-roller technique). Reese loves sharing Dorothea’s most delicious recipes as well as her favorite southern traditions, from midnight barn parties to backyard bridal showers, magical Christmas mornings to rollicking honky-tonks.
It’s easy to bring a little bit of Reese’s world into your home, no matter where you live. After all, there’s a southern side to every place in the world, right? – Amazon.com
This book is being released tomorrow 9/18 and can be ordered on Amazon. Click HERE for more information or to order the book!!!!
