Country Sampler's Upstyled Home With Matthew Mead

January 13, 2017


For celebrated author, stylist and photographer Matthew Mead it's all about personal style. I don't know about you, but I can confess to having spent many hours perusing home decor magazines looking for expert inspiration to help me define my own decorating style. Anyone who knows me knows that I love thrifty and vintage finds, which are not mutually exclusive by any means. I love them not just for the thrill of the hunt and the thrifty price tag. I love them because they are the building blocks, if you will, with which I use to style my own home.

MY "JERSEY SHORE" and Club G.W.Party Announcement!

June 20, 2011

No, I'm not talking about that T.V. show (which I've never watched, by the way).  I'm talking about going home to family, friends and a week's vacation that your kids will carry with them for an entire year.  Yes, my husband is from the Jersey shore.  Pretty close to the place they shoot that show, even.  And I spent most of my childhood summers at the Jersey shore with my family, on the beach and the boardwalk.  So what IS my Jersey Shore?  Quite a bit different, I'm afraid, than that other Jersey Shore.













There you have it.  Always my favorite photo, the kids from the back, walking together.  It was a nice respite from the everyday that is life.  But we're home now, and it's time for the much-awaited Club G.W. party announcement! 


I'm taking the plunge and hope that you'll take it with me.

The first official
Club G.W.
with
Charm Bracelet Diva
P-A-R-T-Y
begins next Tuesday
June 28th.

That should give you a week to get ready and show us what you got: 
your recent finds from your favorite haunts
be it Goodwill, thrift stores, flea markets, estate sales, barn sales,
you name it.
Anything that made your heart go pitter-patter so loudly that you just had to have it.  
And if you repurposed it, all the better!

Hope to see you there!
