Hello! Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful weekend. Busy one here! A fun belated bday dinner for my husband (hosted by a good friend of his) and another wedding last night. And today, we are invited to someone’s  house for lunch at 1. I generally don’t like having plans three days in row, so suffice to say we will be happy to be home later relaxing and watching the World Cup. My husband has gotten me interested in it..go fiture!   Is it me or is summer flying by really fast given that next weekend is July 4th! I literally saw something about back to school and nearly fell on my chair.

Life moves fast and I feel like the older I get, the faster it moves!

1 NEW TRINKET TRAYS AND CHARGERS COMING! We have these stunning small trinket trays coming in a few wonderful colors with many letters of the alphabet. I love them…what a fun hostess gift and I think every nightstand needs one!

And say hello to these gorgeous square 13″ chargers! I can see these on beautiful fall/winter/Christmas tables….would love to know what you think of these. Yay or nay?

 

 

 

2 FOREVER BOOKS Great gift idea! I love the idea of an entire book being made around your family chats. Or chats with anyone who is important to you. What a unique gift and just imaging looking through it many many years later. Such fun, and a great idea for that person who has everything. Click here to see Forever Books

3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST Such a bevy of beauty….

4 TORY BURCH’S FABULOUS PARIS HOME This is quite a place and in my favorite city to boot. I love the all white, its so soothing and calming. I flipped out over the small glimpses of the kitchen and wanted a video solely dedicated to that gorgeous kitchen! Love it…..

 

 

5 A RECIPE YOU NEED TO MAKE! I made this a few nights and wow..forgot how insanely good this Chicken Marsala recipe is! There was nothing left- so tasty, easy and flavorful. I served it with orecchiette pasta with sausage and broccolini (also incredible)  and it was truly out of this world good. I will start putting all my recipes on a card like this so you can save it, pin it or download and print-

One note- I used 1/4 cup of heavy cream and you would not have known I used less.

 

6 WASTEPAPER BASKETS COMING SOON! My business has evolved over the years, when there were tremendous tariffs placed on China, we had to reinvent the wheel a bit, though we knew it would be temporary.  While we were unable to get in some porcelain containers in, we ramped up our designs or our tole line, especially wastepaper baskets and tissues. And they took off like crazy. Since then our line has grown tremendously, it just gets better and better. I wanted to share some fabulous new upcoming styles! Very excited about theses…

 

 

 

7 SUNDAY’S SURVEY We all experience many different chapters in our lives, some shape us more than others. Some are truly life changing while others feel like a well oiled matching that continues to hum along. Have you had a specific period or event in your life be a real aha moment, a time in your life where you have learned the most valued lessons? A time that may have altered your perspective on life? Would be curious to know which of these two did that for you.

For me, it was having children and losing my mom.

This week I am having issues embedding the poll into the post as I normally do, however you can vote clicking here-  https://poll.fm/17175956

I like the trinket dishes. What size are they? I hope plain ones will be available.

Love the new trinket trays! On the fence with the square charges. Absolutely love the new designs for the waste basket sets.
Losing a loved one and becoming a parent profoundly affect me emotionally every day.

Great 7 on Sunday. Hope you had a lovely respite. Really liked the waste baskets and tissue containers. The Marsala recipe is easy and delicious. Mine is similar. My children’s births, parents deaths and so many Devine interventions or connections every day.

Love all the new upcoming items, the trinket trays are fabulous as are the chargers. And those wastepaper baskets are to die for. Loved the Tory Burch tour, what a house!
I love your recipes, have made many and some have become family favorites, really appreciate you doing it in this format so i can download and print it. Great idea.
The loss of parents is my personal chapter of so many life lessons. Nothing prepares you and everything changes. Life goes on but those lessons learned stay with you in how you live your life from that point on.

Love the new trinket trays. Not sure about chargers – the recessed part seems a bit deep and may make finding an appropriate dish to fit tricky.

The most profound life lessons arose from 2 experiences- when I lost a colleague who wasn’t even 40 and becoming a single parent to a 15 month old. I’m blessed to still have my Mom alive.

I love so much of your decor in your shop. I lost one of my Ralph vases…the large one. If you ever get more of these I will buy at least two.
And thank you for the beauty for today. It’s always fun to see.

Thank you Tina for another beautiful post. I cannot wait to order several trinket trays for myself and for gifts.
As a nurse of over forty years, I think that my career has impacted me a great deal, but nothing prepared me for my beloved Mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. She is nearing end days, and it has honestly been the most painful experience of my life. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis twenty years ago and it has been an easy thing compared to my Mother’s situation. Thankfully, you bring joy, resilience, and beauty to all of your readers every week and I thank you for that.
