Joy of Girlfriends

"I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist"

-Tammy Faye Bakker

Starting off this week with a clear head, some new stuff and good memories from my recent girl weekend in Nashville.  Below, one of our therapy sessions held at Private Edition.  In the spirit of Tammy Faye, we spent a great deal of time at the make-up counter.

Our get-togethers usually involve daytime retail therapy followed by evening research sessions.  We discuss and advise on child rearing, fashion, books and always...interior design.

We were introduced to the work of designer Phoebe Howard through a member of our group years ago while she was working at the expertly curated Mrs. Howard, Phoebe Howard's flagship store in Jacksonville, Florida.  I have been a fan ever since.

So when our host presented me with Mrs. Howard's new book, I was thrilled!

Always the thoughtful friend, she had it signed...

TO GIRL WEEKENDS!

Amen
