There are so many things I love about doing what I do.  I paint, I build, I create….. but the “hunt” is so exciting!  It’s that time of year when things slow down for a few weeks….so I’m hitting the road!

Last week I spent some time in northeastern NC and bought so many things with my Mama…. we have to return to pick them up!  We ran out of room!

I also spent a day on the Eastern Shore with my friend Tata.  We explored the many barns on the family’s estates (plural) and I stood in one of the most beautiful homes…. on the water….that was built in the 1700′s! Another place I get to return to because I really need a semi to gather all the treasures!

Chartreuse will be closed from the 4th of January until the 20th.  Thank you for such an amazing 2011 and Happy New Year to you all!  It’s going to be grand… so keep in touch…. and I’ll keep you posted on the adventures!

This is a photo from my last road trip!
