Morocco: and a tale of Moroccan carpets (& summer year round)

Oh, it's almost over -- it's true.

But perhaps there's a way to keep Summer year round -- its colors, its patterns, its fabulous shades?

Happily hued Moroccan carpets.  Now in Red Thread Souk.

Marrakech: and a tale of my being on Martha Stewart's Home Design blog

Dear friends,

I'm on the blog Home Design with Kevin Sharkey! Kevin is Senior Vice President and Executive Editorial Director for Martha Stewart Living and Martha's favorite Go To Guy for all things design. If you have a moment, jump over there to read about all the different time management techniques I use to juggle my crazy lifestyle and numerous jobs (yeesh!), as well as some other design-y tidbits.

            Yours from a Marrakesh olive grove,

Marrakech: and a tale of being featured on Tory Burch's blog

Friends,

You might remember that a while back, I had fun shopping with the lovely Tory Burch.  We also had afternoon cocktails at Peacock Pavilions where we did a wee photoshoot.

So happy to be featured on Tory's blog today!  Check out some of my favorite places to shop in Marrakech in my Insider's Guide
