Now this is what I call a sandcastle. Staff said it’s been here about a week – through the rain! #sandcastle #miami

Unusual blush almost beige-y colored roses and quince in front of the atrium at #rancholazaca. I need to find a place for this table, now displaced from the breakfast room… #roses #quince #vignette

Good morning Miami! Arrived last night for “The Tables – Women in Conversation” hosted by Atlanta-based Gleneagles Group. #pinksky #morningsky #miami #biscaynebay

Another nocturne. Table set for my book club dinner. The book btw was Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff. Fantastic. #fatesamdfuries #lovemygirlfriends #rancholazaca #homesweethome #tablesetting #tablescape #afewfriendsfordinner #dinnerparty #entertaining #centerpiece #flowers

Happy Monday. Get to work!

Pretty light on the great room mantle this morning. #huntslonem butterflies in background. #rancholazaca #homesweethome #prettylight

The morning after… #rancholazaca #homesweethome #germaninvasion And what a lovely invasion they were! #aka

The ride home. #foxencanyon #losolivos #santaynezvalley #homesweethome #socal #santabarbarawinecountry #california

Pretty morning light in the breakfast room, sending roses and California sunshine to our friends and family back East! #roses #prettylight #rancholazaca #homesweethome

How lovely and unusual is this bouquet of narcissus, succulents, lavender, and lemon! The creation of the inimitable Danielle Hahn of @rosestoryfarm. Heck of a #hostessgift !
