This week I returned to New York with a slew of messages from people saying they had spotted me in the National Enquirer. I’m happy to report my inclusion was not due to a) celebrity facelifts gone awry b) cheating scandal or c) UFO abduction… but rather, how to strike gold at garage sales. [...]

Every Saturday morning of the summer you’ll find me tooling about town with a cup of coffee and pocketful of ones to see what I might find at garage sales.

I adore lovely reminders of the past. Growing up in South Carolina, my grandmother always had hydrangea in her yard, and at 90 (Happy birthday, Mom!), she still does. I’ve planted it strategically around Edgewater Farm, so I’m reminded of her. I also think of her when I bend down to pick up a [...]
