Loving November

The first item on my list is that Stylish Heath is 11 years old …… can you believe it? The month of November is where it all started, as it’s such a creative month. I remember sitting at the kitchen table discussing recipes with mom and designing menus for the upcoming holidays. Also, that Thanksgiving Sean, Tony and I were traveling to Dubai [for my first time] and I couldn’t wait to post reviews and posts on the culture, spices, souks and the engaging people. Blogging has been a wonderful venue for creative expression, and can safely state I’ll be blogging another 11 years, and then another and another!!!

Spending time with the two newest members of our family [my niece and nephew] is the best way to celebrate the holidays. Aria and Eli are the most amusing and loveable duo……ever! I love how they look out for one another, and their relationship reminds me of the time spent with my siblings years ago. I can’t wait to see them in a few weeks!!!

I’ve been on a soup kick lately and can’t seem to get enough. For lunch or dinner, I want the pork and shrimp bowl from my friend Quy’s recipe file or the French Onion version from a bistro on my last trip to Paris.

While on morning walks during the fall there are opportunity’s to take the most beautiful photos. The mist coming through the trees with sunlight from behind gives an ethereal quality.

Stay stylish,

November {10}

For {ten} fantastic years Stylish Heath has been my creative venue for art, travel and delicious food. I remember walking through the neighborhood one crisp November evening in 2012 listening to my autumn playlist, and while meandering the streets various topics and images came to mind on how to begin the blog. But all I could focus on in that chilly night air were spring flowers. I had photographed peonies, irises, daffodils, and tulips earlier that year and wanted to begin the first post with one of these images even though Thanksgiving was around the corner.

So, to celebrate 10 years at Heath I’ve chosen a few family photos taken last week in Pittsburgh showing the fun and frivolity we have whenever we’re together. This is what blogging is all about sharing, exchanging ideas and learning from those enjoy life!!!

Family in Pittsburgh over the weekend enjoying purchasing apples on The Strip and checking out the Andy Warhol museum.

My adorable niece Aria Grace who is now five months old was christened this weekend surrounded by family wearing a beautiful lace dress from Burono, Italy {Venice}. Aria enjoys life, she has found her legs and hands, and truly enjoys her new found treasures!!!

The Andy Warhol museum was a phenomenal place to visit, seeing various inspirational works and the archives of the artist. 1] Marilyn Monroe and Andy Warhol 2] Portrait of Grace Jones 3] Heads {After Picasso}, 1985, 4] Photograph of Iman and Tina Chow.

I’m so appreciative of the support and the love of community we’ve created over the years, and am so looking forward to the next ten!!!

Stay stylish,
Kathleen
