Hello friends,\u00a0 so nice to be back home and back to what I love doing, though I must stay our trip to Italy was in one word “magical”.\u00a0 We had gone to attend a true storybook wedding in Lake Como and then took a few extra days to visit Verona. The trip and wedding was so incredibly beautiful and most definitely warrants it’s own post or two or three, so be on the lookout for that, hopefully within the week.<\/p>\n

Is it really Labor Day weekend? Wow….weather is rainy and overcast but due to clear up by tomorrow. Having a relaxing weekend and spending lots of time with Teddy:)<\/p>\n

Onto more serious subjects, we were heartbroken to see what has been happening in the south, it just seems too catastrophic to even be real. For today, here are seven things on my mind…..<\/p>\n

1 PRAYERS FOR TEXAS<\/strong> Even being so far away, the devastation in Texas was not lost on us. I could ‘t turn off CNN or stop reading reports on this catastrophe. I wanted to spring into action but doing so from so far away was nearly impossible. So starting yesterday- I am offering 10% site wide and\u00a0 donating 20% of ALL PURCHASES MADE ON MY SITE through tomorrow to the Red Cross<\/span><\/em><\/a> (a fund designated solely for Texas).<\/p>\n

The will and kindness of people from all over the world shows humanity at it’s best and I have no doubt that if everyone comes together whether its donating $1` or $10,000, it will help to rebuild both the state itself and the hearts of the Texan people who have lost so much. To all of our treasured customers in Texas and Louisiana, please know we are here for you, keeping you in my prayers and if there is anything we can do, just let us know.<\/p>\n

2 A NEW FAVORITE #1 HOTEL<\/strong>. I will elaborate when I do my trip recap post on why this hotel has officially replaced my former #1 (George V in Paris)\u00a0 but suffice to say beyond the beauty of the hotel itself, the setting is out of a fairy tale, then you add incredible service, wonderful food and well….it’s as close to perfection as is possible.<\/p>\n

Just too gorgeous for words! Villa d’Este<\/em><\/span><\/a> is an incredible hotel in every way imaginable, so if you ever have the chance to go…by all means, do! Only showing a few pictures but have plenty more on a few upcoming posts so stay tuned…..click here to find out more.<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

3\u00a0 SUCH A TALENT.\u00a0<\/strong> I have included videos on this unbelievable talented 10 year old from China, Jeffrey Li a few times. His talent seems otherworldly to me and he sings with the soul of someone six times his age.\u00a0 His voice and sweet, almost shy mannerism gives me chills in the best way possible.<\/p>\n

Hearing him sing this beautiful song “A Mothers Prayer” made me cry like a baby…so don’t say I did not forewarn you. Yes, I am a bit obsessed with him and had to include\u00a0 few others not previously share including one of him singing in Chinese which I think showcases his voice so beautifully. In one word- astounding!
