In The Mood
October 2006
Traveling to Italy this summer to visit a number of architect Andrea Palladio’s masterpieces left me ruminating about quality and the origin of the objects we surround ourselves with. I have collected antiques for years and have always had a deep appreciation for pieces with an interesting genesis or back-story. This month, I’m including an essay about this passion as well as tips for mixing fresh floral elements with faux pieces to create beautiful and long-lasting arrangements.
Of course pumpkin season is in full swing, so I want to share with you one of my favorite fall recipes and show you how I’ve given jack-o’-lanterns a new look. The Halloween story is an excerpt from my new book A Passion for Parties. I hope you enjoy it and feel inspired.
