I am fortunate to live near Clanton, Alabama, where the most scrumptious peaches are grown. It is always a special treat to get a basket of delicious peaches from one of the growers.

We Americans are totally enamored with European homes, fashion, cars, and royalty. I have been to Europe a couple of times, and the one thing that impresses me more than anything is that Europeans do not tear down buildings and homes.

I love the elements of luxury, softness, and patina intermingled throughout the aesthetic with linens, muted colors, and antiques. It’s no wonder French style has long been popular and still is today. To celebrate this beloved style, Victoria magazine just released a charming special issue called …

When I was a child we would take summer trips to my grandparents’ farm. They always had glorious vegetable and fruit gardens, and one of my favorite things was the fresh cantaloupe.
