In Praise of Vitex
Above- a monarch feeds on vitex (chasteberry) nectar...Vitex has proven itself once again as a phenomenal survivor; this year in extreme drought. DespIte relentless Texas summer heat and almost no rain, we still had two rounds of blooms and berries from our trees, which are only 3-4 years old. This tree, which grows to mature at about the same size and shape as a crape myrtle, is also known as "Texas lilac" because of its fragrant purple blooms in mid-late June (and again in late September!). Its fruit - tiny gray berries not much larger than...

Rustic Wine Holders from reclaimed Texas materials
Perfect for the loft. Perfect for the ranch... Where ever your homestead may be...These stacking wine cubes hold 9 bottles each and are topped with repurposed woods, each beautifully sealed to celebrate its natural color and graining. They are sturdy enough to serve as stools on the floor, and pretty enough to serve cheese on the bar top. Stack three high for a unique and versatile storage display.

Vogue Enfants book design decorative
Since I'm single in the city, I don't usually post about kids or anything related to them. These photos from Vogue Enfants, a supplement to French Vogue, are so cute though that I couldn't resist. I always love the look of European children's clothing. It's so classic and well made. They look a lot chicer than most of the people I see on the street in New York. That little dachshund is pretty adorable too! Bon Weekend!...
The Bride Wore Lavender decorative design
It's a good thing that Sofia Coppola decided to get married in Italy this weekend and not anywhere along the East Coast. She married Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars in the garden of her family's villa in Bernalda, Italy, the town where her grandparents were born. Her lovely lavender dress was made by her fashion designer friend Azzedine Alaïa. Due to his feud with Anna Wintour, this is one wedding that probably won't be making the pages of Vogue. Best wishes to the happy couple!Sofia Coppola and Azzedine Al...

de Kooning: A Retrospective decorative
If you live in New York, I suggest you don't look at the weather forecast for this week. All the rain has me wishing that de Kooning: A Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art was open now. It would be a perfect rainy day activity but unfortunately it doesn't open until Saturday, September 18, 2011. As I've mentioned many times before, I love abstract expressionism but I know not everyone feels the same. I hope this exhibition that features over seven decades of the artist's work will open their eyes to the beauty that...
