I have been a very bad blog girl. I wish I could say I’ve been lounging around here all summer and that’s why I have been so absent, but in fact it was only one week.  I’ve been  feeling overwhelmed these days.  There is little time to write or photograph anything other than my own chaos–and well, that’s just not pretty.  I have the usual excuses, work, kids, family, injuries and illnesses—not to mention my latest obsession tennis.  So,  we are getting into the home tour and  holiday season and I’m turning over a new leaf—a lovely golden yellow leaf. I will make time–because this does bring me great joy to see how people have transformed their living spaces.

There are 5 or 6 home tours that run between October and December.  And,  I try to get to as many as I can—but I never miss these two!

First up is the Rose Garden Tour this coming weekend. I’m so looking forward to seeing all the homes, but there are a couple I’m dying to see!

The Summit League’s Holiday Home Tour is the pièce de résistance of the home decor for the holidays.  I haven’t gotten any preview material yet, but I know this tour won’t disappoint.  Here’s a link to one of last years Rose Garden homes and The Summit League from 2008.
