Happy to hear such positive feedback on Westweek! I know they filmed it and am trying to get my hands on a copy to share with you here. Some of the highlights of this week’s trip included having the chance to spend some time with Patricia Shakelford, aka Mrs Blandings, and I must say that she is just so charming.
It is amazing how she has been able to bring together so many people that are into design and how she uses her sense of style to not just pull stories from magazines to put on her blog, but to create copy from interviews or from spending time with designers and commenting on things that are happening in the industry. She really is helping connect people inside and out the design community and does it with such charm and passion. From her orange-blossom perfume to her long slender legs, she is a big prize. Mr Blandings is a lucky man!
I’m out at my house in Montauk this weekend, testing recipes for Easter lunch – rabbit, quiche and a ham. What will be on your table this easter?

Great photo! Patricia is the best and we are both Kansas City gals. We were with Eddie and Jaithan for an event a couple of weeks ago at Creative Candles here in KC.
Giveaway is now up on my site.

Hi,
Didn’t even know you had a blog, very exciting!
Found your blog via Typhanie (Shoebox Decor), after she attended Westweek as well, would have loved to be there, so I am patiently awaiting the video feed, hope you get your hands on it!
Northern Light,
Natasha

Vicente – Mrs. Blandings looks every bit as elegant as Myrna Loy, who played her namesake in the 1940s movie ‘Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House’, and you do as well in front of a camera as you do from behind one. – Gary

Indeed, cheers to all of her hard work to you for your generous praise!) and her uncompromising sense of purpose. Perhaps one day she will come to the Windy City and give a talk as well? Ever hopeful…

Vicente-
Birds of a feather do flock together! I adore Mrs.Blandings for her down to earth elegance and for giving each one of us reason to raise the bar, to find loveliness in our dream homes and in our hearts.
Love to taste your recipes, do share with us?
We shall be feasting today and shaking our tail feathers.
