Yearly Archives: 2014

**************Many of the decorations in the house Jac and I made. We are pretty proficient with a glue gun. The little trees above sit on a table in our dining room. When we got them years ago they were bare. Out came the glue guns, the nuts, the fake berries, tiny birds, the ribbon and voila. On the far wall in the Gathering Room, on a long Chinese scroll table, sits two sleighs that we also decorated with the handy glue gun…..added this year….the little trees from Valerie…………..Have  happy Holiday, and if you are traveling…..a safe one!

A few more photos I quickly snapped around the house……………In the upstairs hall there is a long table…..upon which sits a grape vine Angel which we decorated with box wood, white berries and a variety of things. Along side the angel are two topiaries that we also decorated. The fireplace in the living room has garlands of pine, faux fruit and real pine cones….from you know who. There are two more little decorated trees at each end. Perching  on the mantel…off to the right is a pheasant that flew in to wish us all a Happy Holiday. The pictures at the extreme bottom right are of the “Green Room”, or sitting room. The walls are covered in green velvet and when the little fire place is on…..it’s a very cozy room to “hang” in. There is a game table in this room, and when Jac and I are in the mood….we will have a game of Backgammon and sip a Port…..or else it’s a wonderful place to sit on Sunday morning with a cup of tea and read the papers……………..I hope you have enjoyed this little tour of our home, and again…..Jac and I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year………………………………………………………………………..much Love………………………….Louis

Hi everyone!….I will be making a quick appearance tomorrow night on PM Style…..I think with Sandra, but not sure……it should be interesting. I will be showing one item….the classic turtleneck….but…..pay special attention to Kate! I will have her decked out in the new DROP EARRING in the jet, the new CLUSTER NECKLACE in the jet, and two, one on each arm, DIAMOND BRACELETS in the silver /clear combo. I don’t necessarily think that many of you will wear these pieces all together, but I only have one opportunity to showcase the new pieces before Christmas….so I’m piling it on!………….I have meeting the next day so I’m killing two birds with one stone…….Jac is getting a reprieve……she won’t be coming down with me…..way too much to do at home……..Happy Holiday……..much Love, Louis

Yesterday Jac went to a local French bakery to pick up some French baguettes for a get together we are having. She was talking to the lady behind the counter who told Jac she  recently had a baby boy. She went on to tell Jac she explained to her young daughter that this year, with the new baby, she would have to pick out just one thing for Christmas……..The little girl replied to her mother…..”don’t worry mommy I’m writing to Santa and he will take care of everything”……………from the mouth of babes………………….Happy Holidays!

The  new Linea pieces of jewelry will be posted on the 18th, along with an e-mail that is being sent…
