Earlier this week was a challenging time for Decor To Adore. I was not sure if I would financially be able to continue the website given the ever-increasing costs the website host was demanding. Thankfully my dear friends at County Road 407 offered some sage advice and provided truly amazing assistance. I am happy to report with Saturday Smiles The Show Will Go On. I am so very thankful to all of you who left supportive comments, kind messages, helpful tips, and lovely encouragement.
During the transition, there should be few, if any interruptions to the website. Once the migration is complete it is my great hope that DTA will be better than ever. Page loading time will improve and much, much more.
Saturday Smiles The Show Will Go On
It is hard to believe that a now 1,750-acre paradise was once a barren cattle ranch. Sebastião Ribeiro Salgado and his wife Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado have spent the last 20 years transforming the area into a spectacular garden for hundreds of species of flora and fauna. It all began with the planting of a single tree.
Peaches and Cream
I’m going to pass into TMI territory. I am horribly lactose intolerant. But once a year I cannot resist a Chick-Fil-A peach milkshake. They are just that good and only available for a limited time. Also, the White Peach Tea is available by the gallon. You may or may not thank me.
Oh, Gloria
Earlier this week the world learned of Gloria Vanderbilt’s passing. This article shares her life and enduring sense of style. Indeed good design is truly timeless.
Summer Binge Watch
I just spent the past week watching Gentleman Jack. Several people have told me it was a “must see”. The series can be viewed on HBO here in the states. Please be advised that portions of the storyline are for adults only.
The acting in this BBC One production is brilliant. I loved the over the top historical 1830s costuming.
The Halifax English countryside is magnificent and the set design superb.
The interiors of Crows Nest Manor are gorgeous.
Tongue in Cheek Rules For Travel
On our return trip home from the east coast, we spent a few hours on a remote runway in Oklahoma City waiting for a tornado to pass so that we could land in Dallas. These Six Rules To Follow When Flying is very good indeed. Some are sure to bring you a smile to your face.
I’ll be back on Tuesday with a summer decor post.
Until then, may you have joy in life’s journey.
