As I drove into town this morning, A hot air balloon rose across the vineyard in the distance as if on cue. Almost corny but beautiful. #rancholazaca #losolivos #santaynezvalley #santabarbarawinecountry #oaksavannavineyard #hotairballoon

You know how sometimes you see something in a window and you just want to take the whole thing home? Umhmm. Loved these bird motif ceramic plates from @scoutsouthernmarket in Beaufort SC when I was there a few weeks ago. What can I say, I am a total #chinaslut #placesettings #tablesettings #entertaining #tabletop

How divine is this Montecito house in the March/April issue of @verandamag. Formerly the music pavilion and underground ballroom of a grand old Santa Barbara estate, since subdivided, but lovingly preserved. Interior design by Ann Holden of New Orleans, photograph by @maxkimbee, text by moi, and my great pleasure. #Montecito #AnnHolden #classicalarchitecture #warnergroup #warnergrouparchitects #santabarbara #graciousliving

How much do I love this book and this the most divine bathroom in the world?! The book is Patina Farm, by my friends Brooke and Steve Giannetti, whose art of living is beautiful, soulful, and authentic. I was lucky to write about this house for @verandamag a few years ago, and visiting them there was a day I will always remember. Watch for a few more posts highlighting this gorgeous book. Photos by the super talented @maxkimbee Brooke’s fabulous blog is @velvetandlinen
