Back in the UK! 🇬🇧❤️

Having a wonderful time visiting family and doing a little traveling along the way!

🍂 Enjoyed a lovely walk with Joe in beautiful Maldon, Essex.

🚗 Then it was off on a road trip to St Ives, Cornwall. Such a gorgeous part of the country!

🇬🇧 And now we’re enjoying some time in London!

Unfortunately, I’ve managed to catch a cold, so we’ve had to cancel a few plans. Not quite what I had in mind, but that’s life! 🤧

Still, it’s lovely to be back, spending time with family and enjoying some of my favorite places. ❤️

As we go into Autumn, I thought it would be a good time to catch up on what’s going on around here! 
Photo 1 – Joe and I next to sculpture that our son, James created while in Tuscany some years ago.   It’s been in storage, so glad to install such a beautiful piece of art in our garden, how lucky are we?
Photo 2 – Me and James last year sailing.   He sold the sailboat since he and his lovely wife, Liz, are moving back to California!    I’m glad I have these memories, and we’ll make lot’s more when we visit them.
What have I been doing? Painting, baking, eating great food, gardening, friend get togethers, hanging out with the grandkid, PILATES!!  Pilates have helped keep my weight stable while eating great food in moderation.
Don’t forget to get your flu shot folks – Joe and I just got our (new) Covid shot too!
Hope everyone is well, and you’re enjoying this transitional time of year!

We’ve had quite a wet summer here in New Jersey! ☔️

I tend to reflect the weather when I dress, and on rainy days I often find myself reaching for more somber colors. But the other day, when Joe and I went out for brunch with friends, I decided to do the exact opposite — and I have to say, a little color really did brighten the day! 🌈

This jumpsuit is from Rujuta Sheth, which I bought a couple of years ago and still absolutely love. It’s linen, wonderfully comfortable, and one of those pieces I’m always happy to pull out of my closet.

I paired it with this soft lavender hoodie from Vuori. One thing I’ve noticed since learning which color palette suits me best is that I naturally gravitate toward those shades when I shop. The lovely bonus? So much of my wardrobe now works together without me even trying!

Have you figured out the colors that make you feel your best? And do you dress brighter on gloomy days — or match the mood of the weather? ☔️🌈

Here’s another painting done in the same style as the one I posted yesterday, and the second one is the more classic style that I’ve always done. I do find the latest method more exciting and fun, I may land somewhere in between in the future, who knows? Art is a journey after all.
Never too late to teach an old dog new tricks!

I’ve been taking a little time away from social media, and thoroughly enjoying learning a new painting style. In the past I painted in a more representational way, really striving to create a realistic painting. This is the opposite, and I like what the process is doing to my brain! It is FUN!!
Second shot is my previous style.
I’ll share another one tomorrow!

There was so much to do in Sarasota, Florida! As well as having family there, we’ve met some wonderful friends - it’s become a home away from home in many ways.
One of my favorite things to do is to visit the art museum right now they are showing the beautiful work of Maria A. Guzmán Capron: Penumbra

The last trip there we visited the aquarium, ( which was magical! We did a virtual swim with whales, which was very realistic!

I had a break from social media while in Sarasota Florida - I started using this fun “purse phone” instead of my iPhone 😁
Actually I just borrowed it from our good pal, Megan Howell, founder of Second Heart Homes, whose mission is to revive the dignity of homeless adults with mental illnesses through housing, support, and love. If you would like to learn more about this much needed organization, please check out her out
The last photo was taken by my talented husband,

Hope everyone had a wonderful fourth! We were blessed to be surrounded with good friends, food and w**e 😊 I made a patriotic cake (keeping the faith) And I hit the gym today in an attempt to work some of it off!
It’s all about moderation and balance 😉 ⚖️
After Pilates I met friends at Quawah House Coffee, Montclair,
For coffee - but just look at these beautiful cakes, wow! I’ll resist - off to Florida this week where there’s sure to be MORE friends, fun and food! ☀️
PS - the last picture in the bathroom - is this a bum washer? 😁 how Civilized!
