Loving December

Can you believe we’re about to end this mind-boggling year? I can’t believe how fast the time has flown by, and am truly loving the busyness of the season along with the festive atmosphere that only takes place during the month of December.

Frasier Fir Candles

We’re all about embracing the holidays at Heath, starting with playing holiday music the Friday before Thanksgiving, and I’m not one for over decorating but enjoy a few strands of lights strung along the banisters to create a cozy atmosphere. And love burning pine-scented candles, as we did in Christmases past, that smell of evergreen wafting throughout the house is luxurious!

Step Afrika: Magical Musical Holiday Show
If there is one holiday show to see this season, you must go to Arena Stage in DC right now. You’ll meet DJ Nutcracker and his Arctic friends for an exhilarating journey, packed with high energy stepping and the most resounding music. The show ends on the 23rd, but is definitely a must see for next year!

I thoroughly enjoy seeing store’s and our neighbor’s home’s decorated for the holidays. These breathtaking ornaments of winter wonderland are from Nemacolin.

Enjoy the holidays,

Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty

Through July 16th the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition at The Met has showcased the work of Karl Lagerfeld focusing on the designer’s style from the 1950’s to his final collection in 2019. The retrospective spotlight’s his technique with 150 pieces on display that are accompanied by sketches that underscore a creative process and the collaborative relationships with premières and head seamstresses.  Karl Lagerfeld created a diverse and prolific body of work unparalleled in the history of fashion.

Absolutely love the recreated work table of the artist/designer. I’m inspired and will add to my work bench at home.,

As a member of the museum use the “early access'” to see as much of the exhibition with little interference.
