Love Note from Meg
Magnificent Places, Beautiful Spaces 4/22/24
We talked last Monday about classic style. Yet we just scratched the surface. Let's pick up again with classical design. A friend of mine wrote a book about the physical response you get from seeing beauty, “Feeling Beauty”, by Gabrielle Starr Harpole. While I can't do justice to paraphrasing the neuroscience she lays out in exquisite detail, I do intimately know the physical feeling she's describing. You walk into a magnificent building or a beautiful room, and your involuntary response seizes control - you take a pause, an audible deep breath, then emit a sigh, while a smile takes form. One of my favorite spaces in Washington is the National Building Museum. I get that pause/big inhale/sigh/smile every time I walk in. READ MORE
Classically Lovely: CHS edition 4/15/24
I spent last weekend in Charleston combining a myriad of favorite pastimes ... a visit to see my younger son, a visit to fabulous gardens, a girls trip with a dear friend, time spent with a wonderful new friend, all amidst rich American history and exquisite architecture.

Glories of the Garden 3/8/24
Sometimes I feel as if our merry band of Love Note readers is essentially a support group for those of us who longingly await the birth of spring, and might need a little help in so doing. I am grateful for you holding my hand, as I am clearly one of those in need, (I founded the support group, after all). Today, I sit at my desk, watching a steady rain fall over my border resplendent with Angelique tulips, one of which rewarded me with a blue ribbon at this week's garden club meeting. Behind me, a Carolina jessamine has robustly climbed up, over and around its trellis, this week reaching peak bloom. My smile is wide, as a robin repeatedly visits the spines of our patio umbrella, in what I hope is a final housing inspection. Please oh please build your nest right here. READ MORE
