A Personal Tragedy | News About Tomorrow’s Blog Giveaway

This post was supposed to have come out two days ago, however, I have been dealing with a personal tragedy that I hoped I wouldn’t have to face for a while. We lost our beloved Peaches today after a brief illness that deteriorated rapidly yesterday into heart failure… He was 16 years and 7 months old.

Here is Peaches with Aaron shortly after he came to live with us in 2001. Aaron was six and Peaches was three.

Peaches last May on his sweet 16 birthday.

He gave us so much, so much indescribable joy and love. Well… that’s all I can say for now. The loss is devastating, but life will go on… and something good will come from this. It always does.

I’m only going to post a few photos at this time. I could’ve waited, however, the blog giveaway for the two Chinoiserie vases is tomorrow, so I wanted to give one last reminder for anyone who still wants to enter for the chance to win them. The form is at the top.

I believe that I had said that the drawing will be at noon tomorrow, but it’ll probably be after that because I have a big window treatment installation in the morning in the media room.

Please enjoy the following images using blue and white porcelain. A lot of these ideas can be incorporated in your holiday decorating.

Exquisite dining room by the late Joe Nye. Alright, no blue and white Chinoiserie, but love how striking this room is with its wonderful Gracie wallpaper.

Best wishes to all of the entrants for the giveaway. The winner will be randomly selected tomorrow with an internet program. Once that is done, I will contact the winner via email. They will have 24 hours to respond. If no response back is received, I’ll redo the drawing. I will be using a program which randomly selects the winner.

Blessings and Love to All,
