for the love of a house

 Several years ago I came upon a Instagram post that had a profound impact on me.
I was made aware of the
Kenya Drylands Education Fund

Catherine Letipo, surrounded by her uncles in northern Kenya
In this season of giving I am hoping we can all come together to become a village and give the gift of a high school education to this beautiful girl,
Catherine Ntasanwa Letipo, who lives in northern Kenya....

I am very excited to invite you to a pop-up shop I am hosting from my friend, designer and artist, Artie Vanderpool.
I am honored that this beautiful collection was "inspired" by the farmhouse and our property.  Artie has been our guest and seen the farmhouse in person!...

Art makes me happy!
Every time I look at my bedside table filled with favorite things my heart races a bit.  That's the magic of living with things that you love�
A new favorite is the small painting done by my friend, designer and artist Artie Vanderpool, on an antique envelope.  Artie happened to show me several pieces he had just completed and when I saw this piece my heart went "thunk" and it was true love...
