I sent this PHOTO to ARI SETH of ADVANCED STYLE………….HE THANKED ME!!!!!
One CHIC LADY………………waiting to be DISCOVERED!
THANK GOODNESS WE DISCOVERED HER and HER JEWELS AND EGGS.
That is the BEST PART of all this INTERNET STUFF………….like MINDED SOULS somehow can GRAVITATE and FIND each other through COMMENTS and or PHOTOS.
I could spend HOURS looking at GARDENS,BALLERINA’s,COUNTRY HOMES and FASHION and let’s NOT forget the PIGGY’s that swim in the CARIBBEAN …….theswimmingpigs.They have 226,000 FOLLOWERS!!!!!.I have told my ITALIAN that this place is HIGH on my BUCKET LIST! We tried to bath BANKSY once……..HE DIDNOT LIKE THE WATER!I wonder if that would change if he had a POOL!
My GRANDPIGGY…………MISTER BANKSY!
TABLE TALK…………is NEXT up!
MY SON.
I have ALWAYS been told HE looks like ME!
He has a NEW PASSION!
Could get the PASSION bit from ME TOO!
He is making WOODEN TABLES.
MAY I SHARE some of his projects with YOU?
This is a hand sanded table poured over with LOVE to get that SHINE!
Another table in THE WORKS!
The FIRST table went to a MAN with a WINE CELLAR………………..if you are in need of a table like this or want a smaller version email my SON Kristopher at
Kristopher_ Kirkpatrick @YAHOO.COM.
He lives and works in NORTHERN CALIFORNIA and I would imagine if YOU told him you READ his MOTHER’S BLOG he would make the delivery TOO for a marginal FEE.
MY BOY in ACTION……………………
EACH TABLE is sanded and then glazed!The BASE on these tables is STEEL.So, a contemporary feel.He could also do a wooden leg if that was more to your liking!
This is the FIRST table he made for himself with a planter down the middle!
Please contact HIM for pricing.
LAST I have NEWS to share with those who live in NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.I will be a VENDOR at the REMNANTS of THE PAST SHOW once again come APRIL.
I hope if VINTAGE and OLD STUFF Is YOUR thing YOU will HOP down to PLEASANTON with a FRIEND and CRUISE the aisles.Look for ME!I will MOST LIKELY be wearing a VERY OVER THE TOP HAT.I wouldNOT want YOU to MISS ME!
SEE BELOW for the DATES and TIMES………FRIDAY is the START DAY and it’s a 1:00 OPEN do NOTE THAT.
Hope to see YOU THERE.

Beautiful pieces. Because of you I now follow her on Instagram and follow her sister also. Love the way the world opens up.
Your son’s tables are Beautiful. What a craftsman. He must get a website and advertise these. I can see them in every wine cellar and gorgeous desks. What a talented family.

Stunning jewelery! Beautiful new friend! Kristopher…such gorgeous woodwork. I know my kids would die to have these tables in their homes as well. And I adore Springtime and Easter and am always intrigued by deocrative eggs. They are so, so pretty and I would love to meet your new found, very stylish friend Stephanie! Perhaps a trip to Germany:) Oh and lets not forget the grand Banksy. I have confidence that Banksy will learn to swim someday! xoxox

Oh you silly goose!
I LOST my favorite crown the night of the Peta awards when we saw Paul McCarntney for 2 hours with 200 people……or less. I was in some kind of trance of happiness! Poof…..gone it was! And it was after I saw your friend Ari and I think the other friend…..with the long name.
Remember he made some gesture around his head when he described me??
FUNNY!
You have the best blog….and everyone loves it!
Anyway…..I need the pink one as a substitute!!!
Please send one with a bill!!!
You are the best; and receiving all the attention you deserve!!!

All of them are glorious and I’d take any pair. And you my friend, are you fabulous lately? I suspect so. Here’s to a new beginning as spring comes to us all! HUGE HUGS!
contessa says
ANITA,

Your new friend Elizabeth is very talented and very beautiful too.
I love her picture, dressed in red, with the magnificent red of that maple in the distance.
What really caught my eye is Kristopher’s woodwork.
He is extremely talented.
The tables are a work of art.
I wish him every success.
Such wonderful creative people………yes you too my sweet!!!
Ciao Bella

Taste of France says
So many things to say! That photo of her in red is magnificent. More people should wear all red. We’d all be smiling and more energetic.
My mother, who wore only clip-ons, would have loved the earrings. And the eggs, but she painted her own, with exquisite Pennsylvania Dutch designs. I miss her so.
contessa says
YOU are SPOT ON!If ALL wore RED MORE we might have more PASSION and EXCITEMENT in our LIVES………….now let me SKIP to the closet and see WHERE IS THE RED?
XX
Fran says
Cara Contessa, your new friend is the epitome of Elegance! P.C. Faberge would have been quite smitten with her eggs, I am sure! You must also be extremely proud of your son – his tables are gorgeous! I hope he makes you a few – one can never have enough beautiful things to look at in one’s home….
contessa says
SHE IS INDEED!
AND I AM…………….he was over last night telling me he has one ready to GO!It may just have to come LIVE HERE!
Do you think He will give his parents a discount?
YOU are absolutely RIGHT about the BEAUTIFUL THINGS………………..NEVER enough!

Good morning, Contessa! I see you are up early this morning, so I will use your comment section to ask if you have heard anything about Ellie? I understand she is in the hospital in Paris. I have been concerned for a few days because of her “non appearance” on her blog. Can you find out for us and post it here? Thanks, Isla

DEAR ISLA……………I too have wondered and figured she was up in PARIS as the CAREGIVERS were leaving.You know MORE then ME!I will do some digging!SHE IS A TUFFY………………SHE WILL BE FINE!

Andrea@WellnessNotes says
Fabulous eggs & jewelry! Thanks for sharing!
And your son’s tables are stunning! True works of art!
jill says
those painted goose eggs… so beautiful and unique! you definitely need some of the silk ones to enhance the chicken palace!
kristopher’s tables are unbelievable – I remember when he told me he made the one in his kitchen, I was blown away! the natural shaped wood grain ones are my favourite!!
Julie Russell says
Oh my gosh, the EGGS! My mother collected eggs and would have LOVED these beauties. When we are settled into our new abode – and I’m allowed to acquire again – I will purchase these for NEXT Easter! Poor Banksy . . . apparently he is not a swimming pig. Maybe a little blue baby pool for the summer . . . ACE Hardware puts them out nearer to Memorial Day weekend. We always had one for our BELOVED black lab, Sasha. She would not go in the BIG pool, but loved her baby pool to cool off on a hot NoCa day. xoxo
Sandra Sallin says
I love that photo of Stephanie. She has so much style a delight to look at. Lovely jewelry also!
