Hello friends!
I just returned from a wonderful
trip celebrating our 25th anniversary!
Had such a wonderful time seeing old friends
who live abroad and meeting new ones too.
We were gone for two weeks
and visited Italy, San Marino,
Croatia, and Hungary.
Oh my heavens --- so much
gorgeous architecture and history...
I am still on a high from all the visual inspiration.
Ok, now on to the next subject....
B I G N E W S
While I was gone,
my friend and fellow blogger
artist/designer/writer/photographer --
the super talented
unveiled her holiday book
Creatively Christmas!
Last December
you may remember
that I mentioned that someone came by
and had spent the day shooting our holiday decor
here at the Polohouse
but ---
it was a secret
so I was not allowed
to share who it was at that time.
It was mega-blogger Jen Rizzo!
 |
| Jen in action last December. |
She featured our home in her new book,
and since I was out of the country
when the book came out
I have YET TO SEE IT!
(I missed her unveiling party too. So sad about that, Jen!)
So I am popping in my car
this morning
to go buy a copy of the book
which is available at:
Barnes and Noble
Costco
and shops and boutiques
listed in detail on Jen's blog.
(I did get to see the proofs online
but I cannot wait to see it in hard copy.)
Congrats to Jen for this huge
and amazing accomplishment!
So thrilled for you.
Will post tomorrow with photos
and more on this.
Ok, I am off to the book store.
Ciao!

UPDATE: I am unable to get my hands
on a copy of the book! Cannot find it anywhere!
Hoping to get a copy on Saturday from Jen Rizzo
so until then --- stay tuned! :)
