    So excited about this– at long last!! I have this photo pinned to my writing nook (cards you have sent in Christmas’s past : ) I also think he should feature the CLASSIC photo: feeding the chickens in ball gown and pearls… following in the Duchess of Devonshire’s footsteps. That photo shoot was swoon worthy!! With all the sales, I think he will need to expand the Contessa Collection : ) Cindy’s home looks so inviting and warm, just like she is. We are going to the dark side of FL living with an artificial tree this year.. too many have died before xmas day… but ordered a fresh wreath for the family room so I’ll be able to plunge my nose into the balsam and pine whenever needed : ) Your wrapping advice is spot on… to be enjoyed, not rushed!! XOXO

    Oh, dearest Contessa, this is hysterical!! You are on a bag!! You are On Sale!!! I’m pleased as Punch for you that it’s a gorgeous portrait of you and Mr. Banksy. I hope he’s thrilled, too?

    So nice you had a fabulous Thanksgiving celebration without needing to pull it off yourself this year. It looked rather splendid. And giving Loree in Malta a wave is so lovely – she takes simply gorgeous photos for her blog!

    LOVE the picture with you and your handsome Italian! I can’t believe you are already wrapping gifts when most of us are just starting to shop – I am lucky to get a Charlie Brown tree up by Christmas Eve! Seeing the fabulous spread at Cindy’s made me hungry, and she makes it look effortless. So glad you got to go!

    I’m thrilled to see you FOR SALE! This is a major event to celebrate. Ari’s talent and artistry brings so much happiness and light to many, many people. As for Thanksgiving, surely it was a wonderful change of pace to be an invited guest after many years of home cooking and entertaining. It looks like it was a grand day.
    We had a beautiful and happy day here. Like the winds that Lorna described, we had almost 50 mile an hour winds here in La Jolla. The wind pattern came from the Northeast, which it rarely does, and boy, did it bring an attitude with it. We had to move inside and watch the palm fronds piercing the sky.
    Embrace the Joy!

    Contessa on sale! Sold! A lovely tote is on it’s way to me and I can’t wait to swan around town with my fun new accessory … it is sure to generate comments and inquiries! I loved the glimpse of Cindy’s new home and beautiful Thanksgiving spread. All of that food … wow. And delightful SoCa weather. The photos of you on the pier … your outfit … tres chic! Our tree is up but not decorated. A little bit at a time. As for wrapping, it’s not my favorite, but I’ll take a page out of your book and start early so as not to be rushed the night before as so often happens. Let the holiday season commence! xo

    I needed this so much! To see a grand kitchen filled w grand people! You and Cindy are both mentors to me for sure. I’ve been getting over the flu this past week so seeing all the pomp and circumstance is reminding me of the rich heritage that I was exposed to growing up in the Deep South. Easy breezy Southern California has its charm of relaxed and effortless living. But I’ve missed the traditions. My pendulum may be swinging…

    Love u, love cindy. Thank u both for your hard work and sharing of yourselves and all that u do.

    Hi Elizabeth, How fun that you were able to relax and do things differently this Thanksgiving. Cindy’s home sure is gorgeous and I’m sure she had everything perfect for everyone.
    Well you’re on your way to celebrity status now, your face on a tote with Banksie! Exciting news and sure to brighten up the days of many!
    I’ve toned things way down, and have most of my decorating done for Christmas. We drew names so I only need to purchase one gift this year! What will I do with all of the spare time? I’m going to try to enjoy everything in a new way this year.

    So enjoyed seeing the picture of you and “The Italian.” You look like a fun loving couple.
    Ms. Cindy to me looks like a miracle worker. A wonderful quality to have that she can stay calm under fire.
    Everything looked wonderful. It’s nice to see a couple that opens their home to so many. Truly a Thanksgiving to always be remembered and treasured. The table and dishes are fabulous.
    So nice that you had time out and we’re able to join Cindy and her hubby.
    Thank you for sharing your day.

I am, age wise beyond it. I am nearing 70. Slower everything for me now. Funny you do soo much, yet you still seem to be the girl next door, in a hurry up world. Enough of Banksy and you. NEVER!

    THE NEW IT BAG! I need you and Banksy on a tote. What a fun idea.
    Looks like you and Giampi had a nice getaway. I agree about Cindy.. she does everything with style and is unflappable. I am impressed with her chill. I wish I had it. She inspires me so much and her house looks gorgeous..
    Glad you finally got to enjoy and be a guest. Thanksgiving gets old after many years of being the host and young people not loving the traditional food. I think I told you we are changing it up next year! Loved the photo of you and Giampi on the top and also in your cute white pants and turtleneck too.
    Glad you’re wrapping and enjoying the season! That’s my favorite part. xo

    Thank you so much Elizabeth for sharing my blog. Sharing bits of my life on it is something I enjoy but I never know what interests people. Malta is so small and not very well known.
    I am sure you had a wonderful time at Cindy’s. We celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday but things didn’t go so well. My parents and aunt and uncle came over to celebrate with us but my uncle started feeling unwell and they had to go home early. We keep it simple these days and turkey is never on the menu as I absolutely do not like it.
    Anyway, Christmas is approaching and I hope that after the past two years, we will all have a good one. I did some shopping online today and also got a few things in the stores this morning when I went to Valletta. It was very stormy today with a gale force wind from the NE. In Maltese the NE wind is known as grigal which apparently means it’s coming over from Greece and the Balkans. It always blows like crazy for three days and then dissipates. I spent some of the afternoon and evening putting decorations on the tree. I have to stop after a while these days because my back aches. The joys of old age are starting to make themselves felt 🙁
    Have a wonderful week. Hugs for Banksy, Theodore and Betty.
