Friday, December 10, 2010. Pantone Picks Color of the Year 2011- What Would You Do With It? Here's What I Would Do! Pantone released it's pick for the 2011 color of the year, "Honeysuckle." I'll admit, I (a) thought it to be a saffron hue when I read 'honeysuckle' on Twitter (b) at 1st glance said: "Mauve? Say it ain't so! I believe Pantone is THE color authority and their stabs at up-and-coming colors have always been on target in my opinion. It got me thinking:. How will we use this color? By bringing ...

We're just friends". Lady Momzie, my sister Lacey and I. I'd better look that good at her age! Posted by All The Trappings. You do have one ro...

http://allthetrappings.blogspot.com/2012/03/southern-as-sazerac-my-latest-article.html
Thursday, March 22, 2012. Southern as a Sazerac: My Latest Article in The Independent Weekly Bridal Guide. Even without a registry. Gasp! Then one day, a venerable local publication approached this girl about writing an article for their BRIDAL GUIDE. And she almost passed out. And her mind started racing with thoughts of "Oh, my garter belt, I have no idea what in the hell to write about a wedding! Not one to back down from a challenge, she graciously accepted. And view pages 27-29 for the spread :).

Saturday, May 28, 2011. Picnics and Pastis • Summertime Is Here. Most definitely my new summer libation. Pastis. Truly delicious if you are a fan of anise or absinthe light, crisp, bubbly concoctions which dance on your tongue. Salut! A a photo taken by Gwen.

All The Trappings: Thank You Grant K. Gibson!
http://allthetrappings.blogspot.com/2011/06/thank-you-grant-k-gibson.html
Wednesday, June 22, 2011. Thank You Grant K. Gibson! A couple of weeks ago, Grant K. Gibson. Posed the question: Mo Faux or NO FAUX. Flowers that is. In a sweet gesture from the gentleman himself, he asked that we comment away and one lucky commenter would win a nice bunch of the peonies that he used for his room in the San Francisco Decorator Showhouse. Well, wouldn't you know.I won! And I swear, I have never won anything in my life that I didn't 'work for.' So I was thrilled to bits! Thank you, Grant!

Wednesday, July 6, 2011. That 70s House • Part II of Our De-grannyfication Project. While we weren't able to make headway on the kitch, we were. Able to spiff up the majority of the other public areas of the house. WHAT a difference –– we are still in disbelief over this radical change. Could it get ANY uglier or drab? We will destroy you! After 2.5 days of prep, 12 hours of painting, a black dog almost turned white and 3 pizzas eaten. Posted by All The Trappings. But what a fabulous start! I am wholehea...

Thursday, January 21, 2010. Lafayette, LA : A City Like None Other. Part I. Today was a gorgeous bluebird day with mild temperatures. This timely weather afforded me the luxury to 1. Wear a sleeveless dress and gauzy scarf 2. Hop on my bike and cruise around downtown Lafayette. I live in a neighborhood adjacent to downtown, just about 5 minutes walking distance from where all the action happens. I couldn't have it any other way! Up until maybe 12-15 years ago, our downtown area had undergone a tremendous...

Thank goodness for plants that grow themselves year after year, because this gangrene thumb couldn't even keep the fresh thyme {that I bought in a planter! Alive for more than three days.
