A Lovely New Candle Find

Climbing Rose 3 Wick Candle

 

I was disappointed that Target did not bring back my favorite Red Roses candle this spring as they normally do. But I just discovered this new version, a kissing cousin, that is roses blended with notes of ivy and fern and it is delightful.

The Kentucky Derby

Mark and Graham

I will be hosting a Kentucky Derby Party this Friday, the night before the Derby, with 30 people coming. It is a wine tasting and food pairing with the wines and foods of the Kentucky Derby.

I have a large collection of hats and fascinators. Since the red rose is the official flower of the Kentucky Derby, I will be wearing a red rose and feather fascinator by my favorite hat designer, Peter Bettley, that I bought on a trip to London.

Favorite Chinoiserie Earrings

CCC

I love earrings and you will never see me without earrings on (except at the beach where I have learned my lesson losing them). 

Tabletop Palm Trees High/Low

CCC

 

I have two of these tabletop palm trees by Kim Seybert, one in pink, and one in green. They are discontinued from her collection, but sold in the $100 - $200 range depending on the size. Do you spot the Kate Spade X Target pink polka dot wicker crescent bag on the back left? So cute.

The other one lives in the lanai of my mini rattan beach house along with a couple of Herend monkeys.
