A quick "HELLO" before time gets away from me again. As you know I had to deliver the finished manuscript for my book by the end of this month. I actually finished it this weekend so I am coming up for air, though I already had to dive in the next issue of ROMANTIC COUNTRY.
I also want to thank each of you for entering the giveaway. THANK YOU! For those who haven't had a chance to participate, yet, there is still time as it ends September 30.
Many thanks also for taking the time to leave so many lovely comments. They all feel like a warm reassuring hug. XOXOXOXOXO
**************
If you are going to be in southern California you will want to attend these 2 events. I wish I could go but I will be there in spirit!
Check out: Robyn Wexler's
MAGNOLIA CREEK & Co. ATELIER-
Lots of treasures and a book signing for a beautiful cookbook BALANCED DAYS, BALANCE LIVES
If you want to enjoy the taste of Tuscany you don't have to fly to Italy. Just take a ride to The Lavender Inn in Ojai to attend
LA PIU BELLA TAVOLA
(The Most Beautiful Table)
and you will will be transported ..........
I hope you can treat yourself to both events. If you do make it, sure you have a bite or 2 for me. ENJOY!!
