To celebrate my daughters graduation and our love of travel I took my kids on an epic Italian road trip. We covered 2000 miles (I drove) from Venice to Sicily and many stops in between.
My son and I took a few Italian cooking classes & learned how to make fresh pasta & some other classic dishes.
A Portofino highlight was the Dior Beach Club!
September
We welcomed a new puppy into our home! Now we have four rescue hounds and life is off the hook busy. Gustavia is a sweet boy and adds so much fun to our canine filled world. I drove a few thousand miles to pick up this sweetie at the Carolina Coonhound Rescue in Charleston, SC.

I was invited to a weeklong wellness staycation with Reset Telluride. This invigorating week taught me so much about self introspection, relaxation, health & wellness. We hiked everyday and enjoyed fall in the mountains while dining on delicious vegan cuisine in the company of wonderful, empowering women.
After long hikes, relaxing time at the Madeline Hotel pool was such a treat.
Fall in Telluride is always so beautiful! The months begins with Telluride Film Festival, a wonderful creative escape & the best way to see as many premiers & upcoming films as possible.
October
After several months of art prep, October was a very busy month that had me mostly in Texas (again!) My Mer Rose Atelier collection popped up for 2 weeks in Gina Bowhill’s tent at Blue Hills. It was a wild few weeks & I learned a whole lot! This event was also the debut of my Mer Rose hand painted china collection. It was so well received that I have a new kiln being delivered in January 2023.
