My blogs

Introduction	I'm a country girl at heart, even though I've lived in the big city, now living on a farm in a 19th century restored house, nestled between the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny Mountains in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. My "kids" are my three horses and my harem of cats, all strays who needed a home. A "horse person" at heart, who would rather be on a horse than just about anywhere else, I also love good fashion, antique furniture, original art, crystal and china, a great dinner party, literary fiction, most sports and being outdoors. Growing up in North Carolina gave me my "Southern roots" from which I continually draw. Some things never go out of style - an old house, monograms, antiques, classic clothes, your mother's silver, Hermes scarves, needlepoint, good leather, and of course, close family and friends. This blog is about celebrating the chic side of country life, for those who love horses, hounds, animals, great entertaining, decorating, and the great outdoors. This isn't guns and gardens but a sophisticated approach to living, one that is timeless and traditional, modern nonetheless.
