Seven stylish things about me, that you may not already know....

1. When in doubt - I resort back to black.

2. I adore rooms that have black accents, a black lampshade, a black stripe, a chunky black frame all add up to creating a couture salon sort of space.

3. Every woman needs to have a heroine, or a muse. I think Michelle Obama is the epitome of strength. This McQueen dress is just stunning, what an entrance.

4. All it takes is "one strong woman." (My Father has said this for years!)

...and every man needs one!

5. Every woman needs an essential, a classic white shirt, a strand of pearls, a scarf.

6. It's true, I love what I do.

7. Collections of family photos displayed mean the world to me, especially at other homes!

Thank-you. My two favorite words....they say so much.

I pass this award to these smart and stylish bloggers....I shall be back to link each of them.

All they have to do is share seven points that we may not already know!

Seven things about me;

1. One of Seven Children, the 5th.

2. Love the color "green" and I was Born on the 17th of March, St.Patrick's Day so I have had many green cakes.

3. I have never met a medium of Art or Arts and Crafts that I did not like.

4. I would love to drive a convertible and look like her. (Princess Grace in "To catch a Thief")

5. I sold my pictures door to door when I was little for a penny or two.

6. I flew on the "Concord" and it was a "royal" moment, a once in a lifetime thing. (plus I was pregnant with twins!)

7. My Mom used to come to New York, and we saw Lena Horne perform.

"The Lady and her Music."

For some reason, I cannot write below this fabulous artwork of Lena, but thanks to each of you for reading my blog and for awarding this award to me! Thanks!
