On a day of acknowledging and giving thanks for all the people we love and bring joy to our lives, please remember those who need our love and support. It can be a small, heartfelt gesture that makes a huge difference in someone's life. Like simply inviting someone to dinner who may not have family in town. And here are some ideas on giving back at Thanksgiving by volunteering. Happy Thanksgiving!
We love things rooted in tradition and authenticity and Adelphi is keeping the hand made, artisanal art of hand blocked wallpaper alive. If you want something that reminds you of the past, they have some amazing wallpapers that will take you there. They actually make historically accurate wallpapers from Colonial Williamsburg, but they also have historic English and French patterns available too. They will do custom work as well. If you are thinking about wallpaper check out them out and read about where the paper hangings were first located. Fascinating history with color and patterns that are inspiring.
Sometimes when you are having a party it's nice to follow Miss Manner's and send a handwritten note by mail. But for those times when the guest list is too big and you just don't have time or you want to send an email but would like to make it memorable there is Paperless Post. A clever idea, taking an old school invite and combining it with email communication. An email arrives but it looks like an envelope and then when you open it out pops the note and design that you hand picked. Our friend Ginny sent one when they moved. Perfect.
