I respect you...
Thank you,J.
I am pleased to know you were here.

Question: Where can one purchase your jewelry?
Wish I could have went with you to Donna Karan's. Did she give you any of her stuff? I'm so jealous!
Heather, right now my jewelry is here. Not featured anywhere yet. Thinking of trying some sort of ebay or crafts sale site.
No, DK did not give me anything. We were there for her son- in -law's birthday party.
Dragged along by a friend. My sister and I were there. She spoke to Babs. I just kept my distance and tried to be cool.
It was an amazing spectacle.
Fully catered on a cobblestone beach two flights down from her two adjoining beach houses.
There were bonfires, torches and about 20 drummers creating music.
Puff daddy's house was across the street. There was some wistful mention among the younger people in the crowd that they wished they'd been invited to the party we could hear over there.
There are two very funny stories to tell about that evening but not in this format.
If we ever get together for a drink my sister and I will share them with you.
Since I felt somewhat of a crasher I was quite pleased to receive a kiss on the cheek and thanks for attending from Donna's daughter at the end of the night.
:-)
You'll have to email me that one.
You should totally sell on ebay, girl!
Thanks Heather.
Mr Fab, you don't have to thank me that's what Straw Houses is all about.
Thoe more I know, the more I like! And that pic? Is that where we are supposed to go this Summer?
Thanks Mp!
That pic is Moody Beach, just up a ways from Ogunquit. Love to go there with you!
YES!!!! I recognize the stairs! Usually, I go at Moody Beach or Wells. Ogunquit Beach is often too crowdy...
Those steps are from the cottage in the painting above. My family vacationed there off and on throughout my life. Unfortunately it was sold and the new owners never rent it out.
It's a gorgeous beach.
