THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY AND WILLIAM SOFIELD ~ DESIGN IN NEW YORK


Today is my three year anniversary in blogland!  I can't believe I have been here for 3 years, but I have loved every minute.  I have met so many wonderful friends here, and I want to thank all of you for making this Splendid Sass thing what it is.  Without you, there would be no blog!  Thank you for your support, friends!

SWEDISH STYLE ~ NINA BERGSTEN


This beautifully designed Swedish apartment, filled with antiques and period and contemporary pieces, was designed by owner and fashion savvy Nina Bergsten. ENJOY!




This beautiful dining room table displays Royal Copenhagen's 'Blue Fluted Half Lace' tableware, and it is carried in the shop of one of my favorite people, Monica, author of the blog Splendid Willow and shop owner of the fabulous shop Splendid Avenue. Monica has an eye for the most beautiful things, and her toy collection is adorable. Don't just take my word,  look for yourself here!  Her own post on Royal Copenhagen can be found here.

BETTY LOU PHILLIPS ~ THE ALLURE OF FRENCH AND ITALIAN DECOR AND THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS IN PARIS

I would like for my friends on the east coast to know that all of you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.  I think I can speak for most of us outside of harms way when I say that we feel helpless here.

 The Allure of French and Italian Decor
By Betty Lou Phillips
Gibbs Smith, $50.00

Author, Splendid Sass


Since I received this book, I have been poring over each page, enjoying ever single image.  These scanned pages are just a few of the beautiful rooms along with tablescape, cuisine, and nature images.  I wish these scanned images could come close to the size and beauty of those present in this book.  I also have to mention the beautiful cover, which is a soft platinum color with a lovely gold script.  

I have always loved the work of Betty Lou Phillips, and again she has exhibited her talent in not only design, but her extensive knowledge of hospitality.  ENJOY!























And look at this adorable Christmas book by Betty Lou.  The whimsical artistic work is so beautiful, and is perfect with the perfect story! Below are only a couple of the pages.  ENJOY!


The Night Before Christmas in Paris
