I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful! Tom and I spent it with my very large family in the Virginia countryside. (Did you know I am the youngest of 12?) Our lively gathering was full of warmth, laughter, food and more food.

On the topic of Virginia, have you seen the elegant and bright stone house in the Nov/Dec 2012 issue of Traditional Home magazine? Architect Christian Zapatka thoughtfully renovated and expanded this home for the Jeffress family, bringing in more light and a better flow. The interiors were decorated by my good friend and renowned designer, Frank Babb Randolph. Frank chose a light palette and many pieces from Tone on Tone. The stone house looks especially ethereal and beautiful for Christmas.

Many, many thanks to Frank and the Jeffress family!
