LUNCH: Notes on Living Well

Signed copy!

Yesterday I had a delightful alfresco lunch with my dear client and friend Loreen- We started out with a rose'Prosecco-

and a fabulous cheese with fresh fruit- Our main course was a lovely quiche Lorraine with a beautiful green salad and fruit cup- !  All this while sitting on the terrace overlooking the beautiful gulf of Mexico which was the color of a pale aqua marine jewel-

This past winter Loreen had attended the Naples Tables event at the Ritz Carlton and it was sponsored by the League Club- where 70 designer tables were created to raise funds.  Designer and lifestyle guru James Farmer was the keynote speaker and he very kindly signed Loreen's copy of his latest book shown here-

Then she surprised me as she often does by suggesting that she submit me to the League club as a possible entrant for the upcoming event next season!  Of course I was delighted!  Another charming and very flattering thing about Loreen is that I had decorated her condo 17 years ago and it's still exactly the same as I left it !  A true tribute to my talent taste and style and it's always encouraging that Nancy Porter of Albert Hadley's office had referred her to me 17 years ago and that's how we came together!   Thank you Loreen!  Thank you Nancy!  DF
