whoa

Hey there,

Finally peeking out of my cave now that the temperature broke 30 degrees. We southern girls don't quite know how to handle the wintry conditions of the northeast but I'm happy to report that after five frigid winters, I'm surviving. This season I took a clue from the true locals & learned a thing or two about thermals,compression,down,etc,etc. The difference is unbelievable! Here are my two saviors until spring & a scarf I'm adding to my wish list to add a little color.

a little country, a little city

Just over the Hudson, I found one of the most interesting spots. It's located up on a hill looking right over to New York City. The views of the city are quite beautiful. Really beautiful. Beautiful & contrasting. It feels like you're in the country but can reach out & touch the city. Maybe it's the log fence & trees that create the illusion of being so far & so close. In the country & in the city simultaneously. I think it's the stillness of this spot & the sight of a city with so much activity that makes it feel like I'm in two places at once.

little peach trunk show at Nastasi Vail Design

This past Sunday, I had my first trunk show. It was held at Nastasi Vail Design in Brooklyn. I felt very fortunate for the opportunity to show some of my most current vintage finds in such a neat interior design studio space. It was a blast & we're already planning the next one for December! I better go get to work. Here's a few quick photos I snapped.

p.s. You're all invited to the next one!

new fall & winter

Hi there,

I was able to snag photos by Dan for a few minutes to take some shots of the new pieces I've been collecting this fall. Here are a couple of garments going into the little peach shop this week. Can't wait to show you the rest of the items. Hope your week is going nicely!

p.s. what do you think about the new do?

do the sleep monsters ever get you?

Ever wake up in the morning & wonder.....what in the world happened to me overnight? I feel a little like that today. Maybe it's a blessing that I wear contacts & the first image I see of myself is severely blurred in the morning. It's almost like some type of creature comes in the middle of the night with the only task of making you look as disheveled as possible before you awake. It seems to happen to me when I have a busy night of dreaming or sleep really soundly.

When I was at the lake in Alabama I slept with a purple scarf around my neck for a little extra warmth. Just picture for a moment.......thick chunky socks, striped flannel pajamas, purple neck scarf, black thick framed glasses, & crazy crazy hair pointing in all directions....coming to you up the stairs. That was me after an excellent night of sleep. It must have been pretty scary because my nephew Connor was the first to greet me at the top of the stairway & said very slowly & seriously......."what are you"? Does this happen to anyone else out there or am I the only one that has their work cut out for them in the morning? Luckily, it's nothing a cup of coffee can't straighten out.
Have a great Thursday!
