News & Notes

The house guest leaves early Wednesday, so we had a rollicking dinner with some old friends tonight. Luckily, he’s much easier than my last long-term houseguest, who was hellish… Oh, the stories we could tell about her!  David will be heading back to Wales with presents for “my” three boys over there, whom I miss greatly.Thanks to everyone for their extremely kind comments about my upcoming quotes in Elle Decor. I am hugely flattered that they chose to include me. It should be on the news-stands in early February.

I am getting ready for the big Baltimore Architecture Foundation’s Groundhog Day party this weekend and am putting together the auction catalogue. I’ve gotten some friends to donate items for the auction including a pair of bookends from McLain-Wiesand, tickets to the House Beautiful lecture series at Evergreen this spring which will feature houses with theatres in them and 20 yards of fabric from DeBois Textiles, either all of one pattern if applicable, or a mix of patterns.There are still tickets to this fun party, here. I will be taking an empty memory card and a spare battery so I can take loads of pictures to show you the amazing and very private club where this party is being held. Lots going on this week!
