Amsterdam in the spring is a postcard brought to life—vibrant blooms, glittering waterways, anda timeless charm that seeps into every cobblestone and canal bridge.

I loved decorating the manor house in garland with candles and enjoyed giving tours to guests where I talked about the Potts families holiday celebrations and how they were very different from what we have today. Let’s travel back…

The extra magic of Paris throughout the holidays somehow allows the centerpiece and symbol…

After taking a Masterclass series hosted by James Suckling, a quick decision to go to the California dubbed “Wine Country” was made. But how exactly do we pick, or let alone even begin to decide, which areas to focus on in the long weekend we were taking in an area with over 800 wineries? Thanks to credit card points, hotel rewards perks, and membership to Total Wine, here is how we were able to plan our long weekend in the Napa/Sonoma/Healdsburg area. My…
