All kinds of emails show up in my inbox everyday. It’s sometimes hard to decipher what might be cool and what I might want to share with you.
Something worth sharing inside

You are ready to go for Thanksgiving. Got your lists made, your table setting all inspired by Martha Stewart, stocked up on wine so you can tolerate your inlaws.
What else could you need?
You are going to love this!

I really love a lemon dessert. And if it’s easy, even better.
While perusing Foodgawker.com the other day, I spied this lemon cookie that looked fabulous. I followed it to the blog from whence it came and found a treasure.
Let me introduce you.

Wow, lots of news from my sweet friends at The Ritz-Carlton hotels! Yesterday we discussed ice skating at The Ritz-Carlton, Reynolds Plantation, and today, we are staying a little closer to home here in Atlanta.
This is so special!

As many of you know, I have started a business teaching etiquette called Dazzling Manners. It’s tons of fun, and every once in a while I like to bust out and have a little more fun. Sometimes not in the best of taste, but I can’t always be sitting around with my elbows off the table.
What could I possibly be talking about?
